First attempt of my script for my film opening

As the initial step to creating an opening sequence, I started creating a script for my opening sequence.
Below is the script I wrote:
OPENING SEQUENCE SCRIPT
Bedroom Night
Wide shot of Sarah reading a book while she is on the bed and reaching her hand to the phone after
hearing a notification message. "Hey, can you let me in? I'm outside your door." After seeing this, she is
getting shocked and confused: What's this a message from my own number?
CUT TO:
Living Room Night
Medium close-up shot of Sarah watching outside through the door peephole. Close up shot of the
outside area. Mid shot of Sarah texting on the phone asking "who is this?". Again, she got a message
saying, "It's me you're inside, right?". The pan movement of Sarah being confused, looking around the
living room.
Medium close-up shot of the message "Check your phone camera roll". Extreme close up shot of the
phone scrolling into the photos and Sarah's face before trying reacting to it a video message arrives.
POV shot of Sarah's trembling fingers pressing play.
CUT TO:
POV shot of laptop screen. everything goes normal, and suddenly an AI video of herself appears and
blinks, smiles and says, "Sarah, you are no longer needed".
High angle shot of Sarah seeing and panicking
and suddenly the light flickers in her living room and while laughing the sound of the AI Sarah, the light
goes off in real Sarah's apartment.
END
Learning Outcome
After writing and reviewing my script, I realized that it lacked the proper structure of editing, shooting and narration. However, it did give my sequence a certain structure, and I'm considering this script as a backbone for my final product. Also, it will be helpful for my mock shoot and for my storyboard.
