This document contains a shot list for a film project. It describes 32 shots ranging from establishing exterior shots of the character's home, to interior shots showing her bedroom and tent. Many shots involve panning and zooming to reveal more details. Key shots include showing the character reading an obituary, circling a name, drawing a picture related to the obituary, and reacting in surprise to a creaking sound. The mother then enters the room and has a confused reaction to seeing the tent.
