Cinematography:
First-Person Perspective (POV) with a wide-angle lens. The shot is extremely claustrophobic. The air is filled with thick, floating dust particles that catch the light. The headlamp beam cuts through the haze like a solid bar of light, scanning the unstable timber supports and fallen rocks.
Scene:
Deep inside the collapsed mine tunnel. It is pitch black. Piles of rubble partially block the path. A small, dust-covered puppy is trapped in a small pocket of air under a fallen wooden beam, coughing and trembling.
Actions:
The camera (rescuer) crawls on hands and knees over sharp rocks, coughing from the dust. The view shakes violently. The headlamp swings wildly left and right, searching the debris. Suddenly, the beam lands on the puppy’s reflective eyes in the dust. The rescuer scrambles forward, shoving a rock aside. Two gloved hands reach out, grab the puppy gently but firmly, and pull it close to the camera lens.
Background Sound:
The sound of falling pebbles and heavy, muffled breathing through a mask/cloth. The rescuer shouts, their voice muffled by the tight space: "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 puppy coughing and whimpering, and the ominous creaking of the mine ceiling.
