Wide aerial shot at dawn, shot on a 50mm lens. A fisherman rows a wooden boat across a glassy lake, mist curling gently off the water's surface. The sun begins to rise behind distant mountains, casting a soft pink and orange glow over the landscape. Ripples spread from the oars, distorting the reflection of the sky. A flock of birds lifts off in the distance, cutting through the fog.
Tracking shot, shoulder height, twilight. A firefighter emerges from a smoky hallway, carrying a small chihuahua dog wrapped in a blanket. The camera moves with them, showing the flickering orange glow of lingering flames through broken windows behind. Debris falls in slow motion. Soot clings to the firefighter’s uniform, and ash swirls in the air, catching the blue emergency lights outside. The dog looks up, eyes wide but unafraid.
