A short thriller sequence

Title: WE FOLLOW
Plot Scenario:
*Subject in reception waiting room looking anxious, very first shot; extreme close-up of popping gum in mouth (dramatic opening sound), another shot of their leg ticking nervously, and a long shot introducing the character in the waiting room using nervous body language and facial expressions.
*The subject begins to walk up the wide stairs, shot from behind, she begins to slow down as louder footsteps are heard from above, either side of her. Close up of feet slowing down from behind. Medium shot in front, as her head lowers. 
*High angle shot, as she turns around, back down the stairs and begins to pick up the pace. The followers are closing in on the subject slowly.
*Extreme close-up of clicking the lift button continuously, panicking.
*The lift takes too long so she takes a different turn and comes to a split path of two corridors. Point of view shot shows the camera swapping between the two corridors, hesitating to choose which path to take.
*She begins to run down the longest corridor; behind long shot zooming in as she is running. A follower appears at the very end of the corridor, long shot of corridor creates eery atmosphere. Extreme close-up side view of main character, sweat dripping from her forehead, as she is panting.
*Running back to the elevator, followers begin to close in on her from every angle. Aggressively pressing the button for the lift and looking from side to side, the lift door finally *dings* and opens...
*Behind shoulder shot as lift doors open to reveal a follower in the lift and the screen goes black.

Sounds:
*Popping gum
*Leg shaking
*Loud footsteps descending slowly
*Clicking lift button nervously
*Running footsteps down corridor
*Panting/exhausted breath
