Further change to film plot

We decided to further change our script by starting the film with a conversation between Aleisha and Emma, which explained to the audience that I would be in my house alone for the night. We decided to use a familiar theme in Horror films which is phone calls, this was made most famous by 'Scream' and 'When a Stranger Calls'. The conversation on the phone also changed (In my next post I shall include a finalised script) frrom what we originally wrote. We also had to change the ending due to the lighting outside, we wanted to use low key lighting, but it was then too dark for the camera to pick up. The film finishes with Aleisha on the phone to Toby, Toby says "Don't you think you'd better shut that door"? There is then a close up and low angle shot of Aleisha running to the door, slamming it shut, turning round in slow motion and sliding to the floor down the door and screaming. This is shown in a Point of view shot from Toby, who is standing in the kitchen. We wanted to convey to the audience that Toby had tricked Aleisha with the line "Don't you think you'd better shut that door"? As Aleisha shut the front door, but he entered through the back door.
