*Scene 1*

[HIGHT ANGLE SHOT of front door in silence for 10 seconds before a silhouette appears and sound track starts playing.

The character walks over the camera and then it switches to a wide shot of the kitchen, which is cluttered in appearance. Shot of them rummaging through the cupboards searching for something these are fast paced in order to convey the sense of urgency felt by the character. They pull out a shoe box with an envelope filled with ID's and passports. CLOSE UP and OVER THE SHOULDER SHOT of these before they run up the stairs and enters the bedroom, pulling out a suitcase from under the bed and throwing the fake ID's inside.
