Continuity task - Corpse Scene, "The Birds"

The sequence begins with an establishing shot, with a character in close view. From this we can see the setting and meet the character from the first time, (can only see the back but can make out she is an older female).
Mid-shot of the lady lets us familiarise ourselves with the character more. Mid-shot continues as she looks around a bit, but there is a suddedn zoom in from mid-shot to close up to amphasise somehting is wrong. We can also see her face and expressions clearer.
She walks along a corridor, the corridor is very narow making it look as if she is being closed in the further down the corridor she goes. She then enters a bedroom to see windows are broken, furniture is broken and there are dead birds on the floor.
Point of view shot on these, draw us further into her emotions, with close-ups on her face to establish she is in shock, scared and is worried about soemthing. Which sets of an enigma code, of "why is so firghtend?".
She looks around more and see something. There is the an extreme-close up on feet with blood, so we as the audience have a feeling we know what she has scene.
We see the corpse as a long-shot, then zoomed in on face where eyes have been removed.
Extreme close-up in her to show her shock and reaction.
Long, tracking shot follows her as she runs off in horror.
