INT. FLAT. MEDIUM  SHOT. DAY
Serial killer walks to his chair and table, then a still shot of the serial killer just sitting at the table. Also switches on the radio putting on 'classical' soothing music. He draws calmly to music coming from the radio- looking like his hobbie and shows signs on 'OCD'.

INT. FLAT. OVER THE SHOULDER SHOT. DAY.
Serial killer this time in is in his 'psychotic' state where blood drips from his pencil and there is blood on the paper now, not his drawing. An eerie sound is played to create hightened tension and create an umcomfortable atmosphere.

INT. FLAT. OVER THE SHOULDER/CLOSE-UP SHOT. DAY.

INT. FLAT. CLOSE-UP SHOT. DAY.
Serial killer slowly raises his hand to his face and smears blood slowly across the side of his face. The sound will be like the serial killer is scraping/peeling his skin maybe like chalk on a board, something that sounds very eerie. Then his bloody hand print left on the side of his face this time he is smirking psychotically.



INT. FLAT. CLOSE- UP SHOT. DAY. 
The side of his face is now clean, showing his 'normal' side, he is schizophrenic. The sound is non-digetic and is back to a soothing soundtrack. Serial killer continuing drawing clamly to his music. Serial killer suddenly rips up a photo of a 'happy' girl.




INT. FLAT. MEDIUM CLOSE-UP SHOT. DAY.
Serial killer now ripping out the other photo of the blindfolded girl. Sound is sharp and non-digetic.  He sticks the photo onto the wall, then smears a bloody handprint over it. Then he turns to side so we can see his smirk. The photo of the blindfolded girl behind him, then he grins evily.

INT. FLAT. MEDIUM SHOT. DAY.

Serial killer returns to table to switch off classical music so the sharp tense non digetic soundtrack is now only playing. He is in his 'normal' state. Serial killer grabs briefcase lying near his feet at the side of the table. Serial killer places his scrapbook with his 'nice' drawing that he started at the beginning of the sequence, in his briefcase.

INT. FLAT. MEDIUM/OVER THE SHOULDER SHOT. PAN. SUNSET.

Serial killer walks with his briefcase to the window overlooking view of London and stands there. He is still in his blazer. He looks from one side to the other slightly, looking over the London skyline view. He raises his bloody hand to the window and places only his fingertips on the window creating a ball shape as if he is grabbing hold of something he wants. Serial killer turns around in 'normal' looking state however he slighly has bloody hands, he smirks still holding his briefcase.

INT. FLAT. MEDIUM LONG SHOT. SUNSET.

Serial killer turns towards the door and camera is positioned behind so he is carrying his briefcase in one hand (still wearing blazer) however his other hand is dripping with blood. This shows his two sides merge together into one person. He looks normal on the outside but is deadly on the inside. Non-digetic soundtrack is played in the background and is as ear-screeching and loud as ever because he is shown exiting towards the door ready to kill.
