Excellent Decision!

Now the first three frames are

$\Rightarrow$ Fade In $\Rightarrow$ $\Rightarrow$ Cut To $\Rightarrow$ $\Rightarrow$ Dolly Out $\Rightarrow$

Special Note:

You have cross the line!!! When you dollied out, you crossed the imaginary line between the Young Person and the Old Person. That means you must stay on this side of the line (away from the poster) for the rest of the movie unless you move the camera during a shot to the other side of this imaginary line. You have made a major decision… probably without even knowing it. This will effect the entire rest of the movie.

The Script
