My Camera Script for Thriller

[Setting: Man sitting on bed in dark child's room, outside landing light is on so a very small amount of light is seeping in around and underneath the door]
[Sound: Very silent, the only noises in the whole scene are the music box, the man struggling with the bag over his head, the dog barking and sound effect and the end]

Shot one is a panning shot sweeping across the floor looking at pictures of children playing etc... It continues to pan across to mans feet and then up his body, you see him holding a picture in his hand (audience can't see it), then keeps panning until camera settles on a close up of the mans face. You can see the man is very distraught and has been crying.

Cuts to a close up of the music box playing.

It then cuts to a mid shot of him sitting on the bed, you can see the door behind the man but the camera is focused on him. Then the door begins to open slowly in the same shot, see more light creep into the room, man doesn't notice at first.

Then it cuts to a close up on his face as the light from the hall starts sweeping across it, then he looks over his shoulder.

Cuts to pov shot looking at the dog coming into the room. A mid shot watches the dog go up to the man, then a pov shot from the dog, like he is expecing to be fussed over, as he doesn't get stroked it cuts back to a mid shot of the dog curling up at the mans feet.

Then back to a close up on the mans face that is half illuminated from the hallway light, then suddenly the light cuts out like something or someone is blocking the light. still on the close up of the man begins to slowly turn to look but then a bag is wrapped over his head. Still on the close up see him struggle for a bit.

Then see a close up of the dog barking at the mystery killer, don't know who its is, very dark against outside light, almost a silhouette. Then it cuts out with load damatic sound.
