If anything, the camera appears to be moving toward Sebastian, not Alicia. At the last possible moment, Alicia’s hand slides into the center, snapping into sharpness, and she unclenches her fist to reveal the key. On a macrolevel, the shot produces suspense, generating questions about what happens next. On a microlevel, the shot produces surprise, withholding information about what is in Alicia’s hand until the end.
