Description of the excerpts from the film The Winter Chill by Paul M. Rickard

A winter scene. In the woods we can see the form of a deer, or similar animal. The next shot shows coniferous trees swaying back and forth in the wind. Then a close-up of spruce branches, and a zoom out to the coniferous trees. An expanse of snows marked by footprints appears in the foreground.

The following scene shows what a person would see when walking through the woods. Viewers see the silhouette of a man running ahead. Then we see more trees as we move.

In the next scene, a middle-aged man is sitting at a table in what looks like a hunting lodge. An oil lamp suspended above the table lights the scene. The man is cleaning a rifle. He turns around when the door opens, as another man comes in. This man is young and seems out of breath. He stares at the man sitting at the table.

We can see the young man, who has just come in, taking off his mittens and unfastening his coat. It is obvious that the men know each other. They begin to converse. The young man seems nervous. He moves around the table while grabbing a bottle of whisky from a cloth bag. The man with the gun looks at him. He speaks to the young man who sits at the other side of the table, also talking. He has kept his tuque on his head and is still out of breath. He looks very angry. The man with a gun keeps silent and listens as the young man has his say.

The young man serves himself a drink of whisky in a metal cup. The man with a gun says something to the younger man. The latter keeps on talking, but he seems to have calmed down.
