Preliminary task:

  • At first there is an establishing shot to show where abouts we are, and the audience can assume we are in a school due to the long corridor and 'ART' sign post
  • There is a tracking shot of the womans feet as the camera stops the woman walks out of the camera's view (sound of walking below)
  • Then we go on to see the door, and on the other side of the door, as its being grabbed and turned
  • There is then a zoom in onto the door knob and a graphic match takes place to the eye of the boy, a zoom out then happens so we can see a medium shot
  • The woman sits down (there is dialogue) whilst an over the shoulder shot-reverse-shot happens to show each actors faces and reactions to the dialogue
  • The camera pans up to follow the man standing up
  • Before the woman walks out the door there is a reaction and close up shot of the man sitting down
  • The woman then walks out of the room
  • We see a shot on her from the side and then match on action to show her walking towards to camera and down the corridor
