Tossup
Description acceptable. A shot in this sequence depicts the protagonist, his friend, and a woman standing in front of a window, before the camera cuts to a shot of that woman and zooms in on her red-and-gold necklace. A shot of the main character walking against a black background in this scene is illuminated in flashing red light before the background cuts to a cemetery as the protagonist falls into an (*) open grave. A bouquet of flowers in this scene morph into animated petals which float off the screen. The black, semi-translucent outline of the main character is seen falling onto the roof of the Mission San Juan Batista in this sequence, which also depicts the disembodied head of the protagonist floating in a wind tunnel. For 10 points, the supposed death of Madeleine Elster haunts the Jimmy Stewart-played “Scottie” Ferguson in what sequence from a 1958 Alfred Hitchcock film? ■END■
