Trying to figure out the clearest and most efficient way to convey a character entering and exiting a daydream. He watches a barman slicing a lemon - we zoom in on the knife and as it descends, it slices off a finger. We zoom out and it's now a torture scene in a different location. This, oviously, is the daydream. After the torture scene plays out, we zoom into the knife again and as it descends it slices the lemon. We zoom out and he's back in the real world, in the bar, watching the barman. I had thought of using AS THE KNIFE DESCENDS as mini slugs but it would be used twice (at the start and end of the daydream) and this could be confusing.
On another note, if you're in POV and objects/people come towards you, is it better/clearer to mention the character who's in POV, the camera or "us"? IE: "hands reach out towards Mike/the camera/us".
