  This is my rough edit

  Essay: The scene begins with a two shot showing the doctors at the door to the hallway behind it. With some brief dialogue, “sir, you can’t go in there”, some information about the situation is given. Something is happening and the particular doctor can’t go in because of it. However another is allowed through and the ensuing dialogue between the two doctors is shown with over the shoulder shots and shot-reverse-shots. There is no music in the scene at this point as the atmosphere is still being set. The setting is obvious from the start. It is a hospital.

In 1995 the logo had a major transformation that shaped the logo seen today. That is the words Walt Disney Pictures and the castle in the background. This logo was in use until 2006 when it was updated again. This particular version was for Pixar movies and had a CGI rendered castle in it. This was the version that the other disney movies had. In 2006 a new logo was introduced that was fully CGI. It had the camera panning down over the castle as fireworks go off above it. The words Walt Disney Pictures then appear. Interestingly the visual effects studio that p...
