7. Pan of the stalker’s room/set up
with newspaper clippings and
pictures of girl on his wall and
table
We see the map and images the
stalker has put together, linking with
string, also the table under has
weapons
As the shot continues to pan we
see the corner of the main girl’s
missing poster above the table
Full shot of the whole missing
poster so that all the information
on it can bee seen
Zoom in on the picture of the girl
in on the poster
Shot zooms fully into the image
so that the screen goes black

8. Tracking shot of the girl walking
with her teddy – blood can be
seen on her dress and bear
Over the shoulder shot of the girl
walking – showing more of her
surroundings
Zoom out from the girl’s teddy
and we see that she is walking
through a forest barefoot in a
white nighty
Zoom in to the ground of the forest
and the screen goes black then
camera zooms out again to a shot
of the teddy
We the teddy on the forest ground
with blood on it and the sound of
crunching leaves as the girl walks
away
Zoom in/out of teddy – this time back
in the room of stalker. We see teddy
on stalker’s table with blood on the
table too
