Figure 0.3: Scene added, 06 September 2021

After getting the feedback for the first attempt of the video. This scene was added to the video before opening the door scene. Then, the scene where I was running down the stairs was removed because it was not really necessarily since I already have the door opening as a transition to different setting. That said, this walking to towards the door scene was added just to show the viewer that I am actually opening the door rather than opening a cupboard or something else more clearly.
