Analysing a clip

This clip is of the final episode ever of Friends. The clip is a very emotional clip as, the friends are leaving the house that they spent 10 years of their lives together. At the start of the clip the whole group are stood together in a line reminiscing about the past. I can tell this is a sad clip as the actors facial expressions look very upsetting and depressed. A significant part of the clip is when each character hands in their key one by one, this is powerful as it shows each character leaving their own past behind and makes you feel very emotional. Another key part of the clip was when the apartment is empty and the camera just shows you an overview of the empty apartment, this is effective as it shows loneliness and it makes you remember all of the episodes. Then impact of the shot of the front door at the end, is so powerful as it signifies the end and that they're all moving on. The upbeat but depressed tune at the end shows how the characters feel; sad but happy at the same time. I think that's what the audience think at this point, upset because its ending, but happy as they're all moving on.
