Shot list: final draft.

1. Close up, side shot from the right of the hands holding a knife (right hand) and a capsicum, stretched from left to right, and quickly chopping the pepper on a cutting board. Other vegetables, spices and mushrooms are lying around. After the pepper is cut into small pieces, the board is lifted and moved to the left above a frying pan. The sauce pan, comes into focus on the background as the board is moved away. 

2. Close shot from the front of the hands, left hand holding the cutting board, right hand the knife and swiping the pieces off the board onto the sauce pan, they sizzle in oil. The board and the knife are then put down. Zoom out, the woman's face is revealed, there is a big bruise on her right temple and a wound from a punch on her bottom lip. A wooden spoon is picked up. The woman stirs the food in the pan. Vegetables, spices and other cooking materials are lying next to the stove.

3. Long shot, of the woman from behind, she puts down the spoon, dries her hands and walks to the right, tracking shot, the bruise on the temple is visible. She reaches a cupboard, opens it to take out a lemon, when she closes it we see a white figure in the blurry background in place of the cupboard's door. The woman walks back to the stove, tracking shot, the figure is still there. She stops by the stove and puts down the can to the left side.

4. High angle shot, close up on the sauce pan, the right hand gets above it and squeezes the juice out of half a lemon on the sauce. Then stirs the sauce with the wooden spoon, holding it in the same hand. The woman licks a wooden spoon to taste what she cooked. A tumbling noise comes in as an ambient sound, she stops.

5. Close up of the woman, she is mostly in the left side of the frame, looking ahead, a sign of fear in her eyes. Another tumbling noise, she turns her head to look to the right.

6. Close up on the radio from the front and slightly the right side, the hand approaches it and flicks the switch.

7. Medium on the woman, she takes a knife out of the holder on her left side behind her, uses right hand

8. Close up of the woman from the same angle as in the shot 9, she walks in the direction of the sounds, tracking shot.

9. Long shot, very slow glide to the left, she walks around a corner, camera pushes out, there is a curved trail of blood on the floor.

10. Medium shot from behind, tracking shot, she walks to the blood trail, it is on her left side, slows down for a moment to look at it, then goes on until she can see the door and a wounded man leaning against it, holding his left side where the bleeding is, a pool of blood around him, very slow glide to the right.

11. Close up on him, he is raising the left hand to pull the handle.

12. Close of the woman - she realises what he’s doing, she looks really angry and disturbed, moves towards him, tracking shot and a push out, she throws away the knife to her right side, grabs really angrily his feet and pulls it.

13. Close on the man, he falls on his back as he is moved away from the door and hits the head, moans as he is dragged further, tracking shot. Blood trail is on the floor under him.

14. Long shot, stable, the woman enters the frame on the left side, her back to the camera, dragging the man by two legs.

15. Close, side shot from the left of his hands on armrests of the chair, she wraps the silver tape around each hand, tying himself to the armrests.

16. Over the shoulder shot of the tied up man on the left part of the frame and the woman on the right part of the frame stepping back with the tape in her hands, looking at him, smiling. She then turns around to her left side, walks to the kitchen in the background, turns on the music and continues to chop.

17. Mid shot of the man, slightly from the left, he is pale and sweating, staring on the woman with horror, then glancing down on his taped hands. The blood still flows out of the wound.

18. After a pause the man starts to move, as if attempting to free his hands from the tape, and moans. Close up on the woman – she looks irritated. Throws a wooden spoon on the stove with a loud sound. Grabs a knife, turns to a man and starts walking towards him.


Blackout.
