This shot zooms closer the two soldiers and cuts into a close up of a young boy as coins fall apon him in a flash back from a young solider. A panning shot of coins and digetic sound of them falling over the continuing Non-Digetic voice over. As the coins fall down it cuts into another high angle shot. A medium shot of the young boy is then showed helping the audience connect with him.  close up match on action shot is then introduced when someone is holding he coin in there hand. This turns back into a close up of the soldier and his wondered body. Followed by a point of view shot of the soldier looking up into a fellow collogue as he is wounded on the ground.  Another close up on falling coins as his voice over talks about them.

A point of view shot is again put into action to show the soldier coming around from his injury and followed by an long high angle shot of him laying on the ground as it zooms into a close up shot and fades into darkness.  This soldier is given prevence that shows that he will be important in the upcoming event of the film and this keeps the audience watching interested as they  want to see who this person the young soldier is talking about when he said the last thing he thought about.
