Action/shot:
A shaky camera turns on in a dark corridor,
The camera makes a charging noise as the night
vision turns on.
Jamal walks through the corridor breathing
heavily with heavy steps.
Suddenly a figure walks out of the kitchen, the
camera strafes into the living room and proceeds to record as the figure
(kasim) yawns and then walks down the corridor into another room.
As soon as kasim as gone the camera continues
to journey through the corridor as it reaches the room at the end of the passage
where there is a girl looking out of the window, the camera gets closer to her
and the breathing gets heavier,
She turns around and screams, then she throws
stuff at the camera as she curses and screams.
Jamals laughs and the camera runs out of the
room into another room to the mirror.
in the mirror you can see the reflection of
jamal and the camera but jamal has a horror mask on and is laughing
hysterically.
