It opens with a longshot of the house and slowly pans across it. There is then a cut away focusing on the drive, this shot is static. The next shot starts off with nothing in it, but then the wheel of a car slowly drives into the shot and then stops. The camera then zooms out slightly and shows the driver stepping out of the car but not showing their face, and then follows their feet as they walk to the door. the next shot is from behind the person who got out of the car, still not showing their face, as they walk towards the door. As they put their hand towards the door it cuts to an extreme close up of the key being put into the lock. There is a mid shot from inside the hall to show her walking in and putting her hand up towards the light switch; it cuts to an extreme close up of her turning the light on. There is then a midshot form inside one of the rooms showing her side on as she walks through to the kitchen. There is then a low angle shot from inside the kitchen as she walks in and turns on the lights. It then follows her as she puts her phone down on the worktops and walk towards the window. It then cuts to a shot from the outside looking in on her as she stares out of the window. A bang is heard in the house and a close up shows her facial expression. A shot at the end of the corridoor then shows her walking down it towards the front door. It cuts to a close up of the phone ringing, and then an extreme close up of the screen saying 'unknown number'. The camera then zooms out and shows her picking up the phone and starting to answer it. There is then a close up side on, showing the phone, as she answers it and says 'Hello' a few times. After there is no answer, it goes back to a midshot as she puts the phone down and starts to walk away. Then the phone rings again and there is another close up of the screen saying 'Unknown Number'. There is then another mid shot as she warily walks towards the phone. The shots as she picked up the phone before are repeated, but she is more frustrated as she answers the phone this time.
