3. Birth of the Ghost & The Funeral (2:00) Continued:
Closeup of Benjamin looking
down at his hand, now off-screen. He begins to breakdown and cry. As he cries,
he is doing something with his hands below the shot. By the sounds that we hear,
it is likely that he is picking up several of the tin soldiers, putting them
in a pouch and tying the pouch. He looks up and regains his composure (Ed.:
probably because he looked up to see Susan and wanted to appear strong).
Closeup of Susan, sitting on the bottom step with her face leaned against the
wooden post. She is expressionless.
Closeup of Gabriel who can be seen shaking and swallowing, trying to bury his
emotion.
Shot of the family standing around a grave in the small graveyard by the tree.
Benjamin:
"Lord, we pray that You accept this child and keep
him at Your side with his mother."
Closeup of Benjamin as he continues speaking.
Benjamin:
"We ask that You embrace him...and help us to understand
the manner in which Your mercy works and forgiveth our sins."
The family is now riding up in the captured wagon with melancholy expressions
as Benjamin finishes his prayer.
