Analysis of the first two minutes of A Fistful of Dollars

First two minutes of the film can be found here. (I started after the titles)

Fistful of Dollars is a Western Style film. In the first two minutes the audience must be very curious on to what is going on because there is not really any speaking and there isnt any speaking which is in English. There is the Music which is still being slowly played which was on when the titles were being Shown at the begining. The first shot we get is a long shot showing what is the Hero in the film on his Horse riding into a small town. With this music still being played it makes the audience think that something could happen very soon. A child runs out from a house and runs across the court yard, the 'Hero' (clint eastwood) and this childs eyes meet. The child then jumps into a house. Still the tension is being built up on the audience. The last bit of the music got played as their eyes both met.
We here a rough voice shouting at this child and the child is sounding sad and might even be crying. Then the childruns out of the house and there is a shot of Clint looking over the Well where he is drinking and watches what is going on. The childs crying because louder and he falls over just out side of the house. The Audience still has not seen this man who is shouting at him.
