Script / Shot List:
(Original Script)

Shot 1- Camera travels down a hallway, the walls lined with pictures of a tormented boy.
Shot 2: Noah yawns and stretches as he stands at the entrance of the hallway. Sleepily, he takes a step forward and hears a snap. Noah looks down.
Shot 3: His has stepped on a mousetrap.
Shot 4: *close up of face* Noah panics.
Shot 5: Clutching his leg in pain, he hops down the length of the mousetrap-covered hallway. At the end of the hallway, he backs into a door and trips. Falling to the ground, he looks up.
Shot 6: A note on his parents bedroom door states mockingly, "Watch your step! Love, Dad." He spots another note below it that informs him that he has yet to win against his father.
Shot 7: He quickly pushes himself off the floor and slinks towards his room in defeat. Noah stumbles.
Shot 8: Looking down, Noah notices that the mousetrap is still stuck on his foot.   
Shot 9: *close up of face* A mixture of anger and frustration washes over him.
Shot 10: He bends to remove the trap.
Shot 11: Mousetrap in hand, Noah walks back and chucks the object at the closed door. Hes reached his limit. Angry shouts erupt from behind the door.
Shot 12: Noah panics and runs down the hallway looking for a place to hide as his fathers footsteps can be heard behind him. He slides to a halt and dives around the corner of the hall.
Shot 13: Sitting on the floor, back against the wall, Noah freezes as the shouts get closer.  To his surprise, he hears a series of snapping noises.
Shot 14: Noah peeks around the corner to see what cause the sound.
Shot 15: Noah laughs as he discovers that his father has been caught by his own trap. Maybe now the seemingly endless days of torment will come to an end.
