The same but some bits of sound moved into different channels so that you can actually hear them because it was set up for a 5:1 surround sound system.

I quite like the drawings - rubbish or otherwise! I think the film opening has the potential to be genuinely scary!

The Shadow Script
The Shadow script.
Establishing shot of darkened neighbourhood with boy walking down the street. There is no noise except for the echo of his footsteps.
There is then a medium shot of the boy walking past from the left hand side. As he walks past a figure appears where there was previously nothing. Loud, scary non-diagetic music plays when the figure appears.
It then cuts to a downward shot of the boy walking up the hill, towards the camera. The shot shows that the hooded figure is standing at the bottom of the hill.
There is then an extreme close-up of the boy hearing a noise and turning around.
It then cuts to a point of view shot looking down the hill and the figure has disappeared.
There is then a close-up of his face with a confused facial expression and he shakes his head to assure himself that he saw nothing.
It cuts to a point of view shot of the boy walking along and looking nervously from side to side. It is accompanied by diagetic sound of his heavy breathing.
There is then the diagetic sound of foliage shaking, the boy turns to it and looks quickly back.
There is then a stationary, medium shot of the boy walking towards and past the camera but it films the empty street behind him for a while.
It then cuts to a point of view shot from the hooded figure through a bush or from behind a wall. It is also accompanied with diagetic heavy breathing but more sinister, in expectation excited, breathing.
This is happening while the boy is going to the front door of his house.
There is then a close shot of the boy opening the door and it moves backwards to reveal the hooded figure standing very close as he closes the door.
It then cuts to a stationary shot from the dining room table of the boy walking into the living room.
There is then the close-up of the boy picking up the remote and trying to turn on the TV. It rises upwards to reveal that the hooded figure is inside and behind the fogged glass.
There is then a super fast zoom to the figures face which then abruptly cuts to a black screen.
A picture of the figure in the distance is shown with the words ‘The Shadow’ across the bottom. There is scary non-diagetic sound to match the picture.
It fades out.

I like your product placement section, it's detailed and well argued with lots of very useful information.
