INT. LANDING OF APPARTMENT
The shot encompasses the front door. It's all that can be seen. There's a rustle from behind it, the sound of the key being put in, and the door handle turns. In steps MATT. He carries a bag, and is wearing his headphones. He reaches into his bag and switches his headphones off, and pulls them off his ears, so they hang around his neck.
SWITCH. Camera is now behind MATT.
He walks into the appartment, passing a window. The curtains are open, and it can be seen that it's night. He walks past one room, what seems to be a living room, but double takes, and goes into it.
SWITCH. Camera Pans across the length of the room. From the opposite side to the door, to the side with the door.
SWITCH. Camera goes into a perspective, encompassing MATT, stood in the doorway, still, and the rest of the scene. Everything is still. Nobody moves.
In there is a suitcase, and two Sports Bags, and KIRSTY. She's sat in a seat on the other side of the room. There is only one lamp on, and it secludes her face in shadows. Though it can be seen that she has been crying.
SWITCH. close up or KIRSTY's face.
MATT. Those have my things in.. don't they?
KIRSTY says nothing. She closes her eyes and gives a nod, slowly.
MATT. [pauses] I'm sorry.
KIRSTY keeps quiet.
SWITCH. Camera is to the side of MATT as he picks up the bags. The camera is angled in a way that kirsty can be seen in the background. MATT is nothing but a sillhoette.
MATT slings the sports bags over his shoulders. One seems to make alot of clinking, from CDs, paints, and pens, the other one seems smaller, and seems to have in clothes.
SWITCH. Camera is back to the panoramic of the room.
MATT picks up the suitcase. He turns back round to KIRSTY.
MATT. I [stops]
He doesn't finish what he says. He turns to the door,
SWITCH. Camera positioned so it's at the door, looking in, so MATT is a silohette again, and KIRSTY's face can be seen in the background.
and walks towards it. Before he reaches, he stops, and pulls out a piece of paper in his pocket. He places it on a nearby table, stays still as if he's considering whether he should leave it, and finally decides to, and so walks on.
SWITCH. The camera is now facing the front door again. MATT walks up to it, puts his key in, turns it. He takes it out, and goes to put it in his pocket, but as he doesn't live there anymore he stops.
SWITCH. Camera is on camera. Medium shot of Kirsty. She stands up. And makes towards the table with the paper on.
SWITCH. Low angle. Focussed on MATT's face in the background, with the key in the foreground. Focuss onto key. MATT lets go of key.
SWITCH. Low shot of KIRSTY and the paper. The angle mirrors the angle with MATT and the key.
SWITCH. Slo mo of key dropping. Background unfocussed. Nothing but the key is important.
SWITCH. Camera is now on KIRSTY again. She unravels the piece of paper.
SWITCH. Back to looking at the door, with MATT in the frame. MATT opens the door. He pauses. Outside the door there is a very dirty, yellowey lit landing. MATT walks through.
SWITCH. Close up of the note. KIRSTYs hands can be seen. On it is written "i'll miss you", with watermarks that have made the ink run.
SWITCH. MATT is outside the door. He pauses again, and then closes the door. The contrast of the luminescent night yellow outside, and the dark blue-green of the inside is emphasized.
CAMERA Stays on the door for a few seconds, and the fades to black.
