Cinematography:
First-Person Perspective (POV) with a wide-angle lens. The shot is extremely tight and claustrophobic. The camera is low to the water, simulating crawling. The dynamic headlamp beam reflects off the curved, slimy brick walls of the sewer tunnel and the murky water rushing past.
Scene:
Deep inside a narrow, cylindrical brick sewer tunnel. The water level is rising. Trash and branches are stuck to the sides. Far ahead in the tunnel, barely visible in the darkness, a small, shivering puppy is clinging to a pile of blockage debris to avoid being swept away.
Actions:
The camera (rescuer) crawls rapidly and aggressively through the water on hands and knees. The camera shakes violently with every splash. The headlamp scans the darkness frantically. The rescuer spots the puppy and lunges forward, splashing water everywhere. Two gloved hands reach out, grabbing the puppy by the scruff just as it slips, pulling it tightly against the chest. The camera tilts down to show the puppy pressing its head against the rescuer.
Background Sound:
The loud, echoing sound of splashing water and heavy, panicked breathing in a tunnel. The rescuer shouts echoingly: "I'm not leaving without you! Where are you?", followed by a gasp and a relieved "Oh, thank God I see you!" The scene ends with the sound of the puppy whimpering loudly and the rushing water.
