It starts out on a slow zoom in on the small Castle Byers. It goes into a panning tracking shot where it crawls down the painted wood boards going into the castle. We then see Will on the ground. The scene transfers to a dolly tracking shot on both the character Will and the monster, who is outside, not showing the monster but rather its shadow. After a quick frame of Will panicking, it then flips to a still frame and then shows the monster breaking into the Byers' castle, roaring. Only then does it pan over to Will using a shotgun to shoot into the monster's mouth using an over-the-shoulder shot. Going into a quick zoom of Will running away from the Demogorgon. A close-up of the Demo roaring in anger is shown next. Next, its cutting into a dolly tracking shot of Will running. Then flips to a backtrack to show a front angle of Will running. It switches to follow track motion for it to show Will run. It then goes back to a backtrack front-angle POV shot. A drone shot is used next to show Will climb a tree, panning at different angles. Cutting to an over-the-shoulder shot to show Will looking down from the top of the tree to a low angle showing the ground from the top of the tree as a POV shot showing what Will sees. Then the Demogorgan starts to climb the tree in a tracking shot. Will then sees another tree branch close by and jumps to it with a low-angle shot showing the jump and the lighting strike in the air. Then it turns into a tracking shot of Will falling from the tree, transitioning into a zoom out. As Will falls down to the ground, the camera zooms in on him before he gets dragged away, and eventually fades to black. It is now a pan down from the sky to show a library with a zoom-in. Cuts to the inside of an over-the-shoulder shot of the Demogorgon dragging Will. A tracking zoom-in shot shows Vecna entering the frame as he waves his hands to control vines to tie up Will. Next up, it shows a high-angle shot of Will being tied up by the vines. It turns into a tracking shot of Vecna approaching Will, with it cutting between over the shoulders of both Will and Vecna. The scenes goes into a close-up of Vecna's face as it transitions to a tracking shot of a monster vine attaching itself to Will's mouth. It then cuts to a tracking shot. The dust in the vine going into Will's mouth as it ends with a panning of Vecna to a close-up on Will. Then the title drops.
