In the opening of this scene we are introduced to a sunrise, which is
used to indicate a new day.
The camera pans in from outside and into Eden’s room to show her
lying restlessly in her bed. [Tossing and turning]
The non-diegetic sound of her phone alarm interjects the silence and
wakes her up from her nap.

After this she gets up and groggily walks to the bathroom, she fixes
her make up.
As she is reapplying her [red] lipstick the red triggers a flash back.
*Flashback*
Bloodied hands and knife
*End of flashback*
The camera then pans down to her hands in which she sees blood
covering them. [Hands shake violently]

From unknown number
“Do you want to know what happened last night? –M”
Immediately Eden drops her phone on to her bed and sits down with
her head in her hands.
*Flashbacks*
Gory images, which flicker in and out of the scene of, a bloodied
hand, a knife.
Slowly she looks into the mirror and she sees a figure, which slowly
fades away.
Eden scrambles for her phone and turns the torch on which she
shines into the mirror and to her horror she can see the words:
THE DARK AGE HAS BEGUN!
While looking into the mirror the lights switch off.

covering them. [Hands shake violently]

“Have you received my first gift?” “You murderer! How could you?” -M
Eden clutches her phone out of frustration and paces backwards and
forwards from her door.
For the second time her phone lights up again with a phone call from
her house, which she answers?
