Cinematography:
First-Person Perspective (POV) with a wide-angle lens. The shot begins stable but tense, focusing on a person's face illuminated by the rescuer's headlamp, then transitions into sudden, chaotic motion blur as the camera plunges downwards. The scene is high-contrast, with beams of light cutting through thick, swirling concrete dust in the night.
Scene:
The top of a collapsed concrete structure at night. Twisted rebar and shattered slabs are everywhere. An elderly man with grey hair, covered in dust and wearing a torn coat, stands shaking at the edge of a jagged hole. Deep below in a dark, dusty crevice, a small, golden-brown puppy is trapped under a slab, whimpering.
Actions:
The camera (rescuer) runs up to the elderly man. The man grabs the camera with both hands, pointing frantically into the dark hole, shouting desperate instructions. The rescuer shouts back a confirmation, pulls away, and jumps into the chute. The camera slides rapidly down the steep slope of broken concrete and rebar. The view shakes violently as the rescuer lands on a pile of rubble at the bottom. The headlamp scans quickly and finds the cowering puppy. Two gloved hands reach out, dig the puppy out of the debris, and lift it up to the camera.
Background Sound:
The elderly man’s trembling, loud voice shouting: "Please! Help him! My puppy fell down there! Hurry!", followed by the rescuer shouting "I'm going in!" Then, the loud, grinding sound of sliding on rocks and heavy breathing. Finally, the puppy’s high-pitched yelping turns into soft whimpers as it is held.
