 New Outline

  • The whistling stops and he takes out a bag of berries in the same shot

  • Close up of him holding up the berries to the light of the window

  • Extreme Close up of clock ticking with the sound

  • Extreme Close up of gentle roaring flame

  • Extreme Close up of bubbling water in the flask (foreshadowing the bubbling funnel)

  • Medium closeup of him putting the berries down 

  • Close up of his chest and lower half of his face looking out of the window (from a diagonal angle)

  • Uses bleach or a strong chemical to wash his hands because of the berry 

  • he picks it up again with tweezers and discards it 

  • Puts on rubber gloves, for extra protection

  • Wipes the tweezers off on a bit of tissue (something of that sort)

  • Extreme close up of blade slicing the berry 

  • Crushes the berries with loud banging (shown through different angles and titled, distorted angles to create sinister intention)

  • Quick cut her hands struggling hard

  • Quick cut feet pushing harder

  • Quick cut the vinyl spinning
