More shot ideas

Another idea I really like although I am unsure how I could incorporate it into my film is in Amores Perros after the first hit where a business man has been shot and he falls on to the table in a expensive restaurant and his blood spreads on to a hot plate and begins to bubble.

Yet again I've been unable to find a clip on YouTube so I'll just put on of the the movie trailer.

I'm thinking we could use something similar to this, but obviously not Dan getting assassinated, the day won't be quite that bad. What I had more in mind was something along the lines of Dan spilling a drink that he's really looking forward too and watching it drip down a drain. I'd do it from ground level perhaps with only the cup in focus and the background out of focus, although I'm not too sure if this is possible on the college cameras. I'm don't think that the other people in the group would particularly like this idea, but I'm in control of the camera so I'll just piss of and set the shot up then maybe get a shot of Dan buying a drink and talking about how thirsty he is.
