disappearance scenes (Ashtons work)

You Should Have Left, disappearance 

This scene from 2020 movie 'You Should Have Left' is an example of the unexpected horror of the disappearance desired in our own title sequence. At roughly 1:28 the camera uses a fast moving pan, from right to left, as the girl runs through the door. 

Then a brick wall blocks the shot and on the other side of door, she has vanished. This moment is complemented by building unsettling music and the still suspenseful frame of the empty doorway afterwards. I believe the use of movement here masks the transition making the disappearance a shock factor for the audience, however the increase and decrease of the typical thriller score keeps the anticipation of something bad coming. I would like to incorporate the same unforeseen disappearance like in this scene. 

Stranger Things, disappearance 

Although this video is long, fast forwarding to the last minute where he enters the shack, the Netflix series 'Stranger Things' opening episode her presents a mesmerising disappearance. They successfully build the tension with the music beginning with only background diegetic noises, however the repeated close up shot of the door here creates tension, as we except something to come through the door. The director then cleverly depicts the true threat, out of focus in the background before building the intensity with the monsters snarl, the harsh lighting and the score before completely stripping everything back to a silent wide shot of the now empty shed. This creates an enticing and eerie moment. I think we could recreate this with the repeated use of a close up shot of the characters feet and the paddle board as the water washes over the camera, suggesting that something sinister is about to occur, like this scene does. Also we could use focus pulling as a means of heightening uncertainty and suspense for the audience.
