 PLOT: After Pintel and Ragetti capture Elizabeth at the governors  manor, theres a shot shown of the full moon coming out from behind  the clouds. We then cut to the interior of the prison where Jack  first learns about the curse of the Black Pearls crew. Then we see  a shot of the moon getting covered by the clouds again. However,  even though it would happen off screen, all the townspeople and  officers would have also seen the pirates in their skeletal forms in  town, and Elizabeth would have seen them on her way out to the  Pearl. Yet she is surprised when she sees this later, as are the  naval officers.
