can see Donny's house by the road at the bottom of the hill, the road, and
the driveway up to Donna's house. Donna is approaching Donny's house cautiously,
positioning herself behind a tree. Long shot, she's in middle ground.

page Shoot
from inside the house. We can see that it is abandoned - faded wallpaper with
light rectangular patches in areas where photos were taken off the wall and
where the wall phone used to be. No furniture, scraps of newspapers, leftover
from hurried packing, on the floor. Donna can be seen peering into the window,
shielding her eyes up against it.

out of the window. She's shocked and scared, pulling back. See sketch.

back is now to the house wall, hiding. A small bit of her arm is still in front
of the window (making us wonder if whoever is shining that light might spot
her!).

page Shoot
from 3/4 behind Donna, running up the driveway, staying on the side of the
road toward the woods as much as she can. She's holding her tummy as she runs,
turning her head over her shoulder to look back - as if fearing that she is
being pursued.

from slightly overhead. Donna on the couch, holding the baby to her breast,
looking awful, tired, stringy hair, blood everywhere - childbirth + hemorrhaging.
