She Looks Back Twice After Seeing It At The Store
Walked past, stopped, turned around, and came back for a second look. Something in that aisle caught her full attention and it wasn’t on the shelves.
About this scene
Big-box store aisle, weekday afternoon. She is a blonde, twenties, with a small basket. The flash is at the end of the aisle. The first look as she walks past is involuntary, half a second. Twenty feet down she looks back deliberately. The third look would be too many, so she does not allow it. She makes herself walk to the next aisle without giving in to the third look. The whole sequence is contained in about thirty seconds.
What to watch for
The discipline of stopping at two looks is the structural beat. The third look is in her, you can see it on her face, and she chooses not to. The body language at the second look is more committed than the first. Her shoulders square slightly toward the source. After she suppresses the third look she walks faster than her original pace, which is the visible effort to resist. By the time she reaches the next aisle her composure has returned and she resumes shopping.
