Back at the tracks, the TRAIN has passed by and the heavy GATES open up. The MONSTER pushes through. DROPPED SHOT 107 2s	LARRY has already made a run for the PORTAL. SHOT 108 2s	Reverse tracking shot: LARRY runs as the MONSTER bursts around the far corner. It closes in on the car. LARRY trips and falls! SHOT 109 2s
Pause half second: he shakes his head, looks forward and tries to get up. SFX: Loud crashing as the car is destroyed. DROPPED SHOT 110 2s	LARRY'S POV: he is only inches away from the PORTAL. DROPPED SHOT 111 1.5s	He looks back quickly. DROPPED SHOT 112 1s

This was another sequence that I tossed and turned about, trying initially to cover every conceivable angle all at once in a furiously cut together action sequence. Once production got under way, it seemed to simplify itself with little effort and was stripped back to be a lot more succinct, with most of the action compressed into a single wide angled shot with L dominating the foreground.
