multiple cuts as it jumps back and

out of the room
Charles and Charlie size up to each
other
Charles and Charlie realise both wimp
out at the last minute before they fight.
The lights turn on in the cleaning
cupboard to represent a new day in the
hotel

Notes
Some of the information listed in the table is a short sequence as opposed to a shot by shot this is because
each individual shot in this sequence only equals a matter of a few second therefore I felt it unnecessary to
individually include them.
