the film opens up with a low angle tracking shot of the main peoples feet as they are walking down the stairs. this shows us the environment that they live in with the dirty floor and the main women of the short film wearing no shoes which could indicate what type of state this family is in which then cuts to a moving back tracking shot of all the people walking down the street all in quite worn clothes with the mother of the four children walking down in what looks to be a night gown holding the baby who isn't properly dressed showing the state in which all of them are living in. after the title card it cuts to a shot of the women banging aggressively on someones door with a high angle on the kids to show how they are looking up to there mother who is not being a good role model by proceeding to shout swear words and fight a women in the middle of the street with her kids watching. while the mother is pinned down her oldest child proceeds to shout "get off her you fat old cow" which shows the negative impact the mother has had on her kids which also allows us to get more insit into what the mother is like.

the establishing shot of the scene of a man walking down an old wooden path shows the audience that the film is going to have a serious tone by the traditional western soundtrack playing with a serious looking man walking through the town. this makes the audience to believe that something very serious is about to go down. as he walks through the saloon we get panning shots of all the characters that are going to be involved with them all wearing olden clothes adding to the old western feel making everything seem more real and serious. this is when they subverted the audience expectations when the narrator finishes speaking we find out that everyone in the saloon can hear it adding a comedic feel to what the audience would feel would be a serious moment. it then continues to point out all the trops of an old western film with the bounties on the gunslingers head and the traditional bounty hunters coming after him which the narrator points out by reading out what they are going to say like "whats that behind you" to try and trick him which has been done many times before.
