As the camera ever so slowly moves towards him, we see Fretwell sitting in the photobooth from the camera's point of view.
The flash goes off and the and the scene cuts one the flash, moving forward to the next flash as we see Fretwell's position change.
The flash goes off again as the pose changes.
He settles back onto the stool.
The camera continues closer.
Dissolve to a new, closer shot, as the slow zoom continues.
The final shot, as the flash is about to go off again.
