Cinematography:
First-Person Perspective (POV) with a wide-angle lens. The shot is tight and disorienting. The camera bobs just above the water level inside a dark room. The headlamp beam scans the ceiling where a pocket of air remains. The lighting is high-contrast, casting scary, moving shadows on the peeling wallpaper.
Scene:
Inside the flooded house. The water has almost reached the ceiling. Furniture is floating upside down. A small, wet puppy is paddling desperately on top of a floating kitchen cabinet, pressing its nose against the ceiling, whimpering softly.
Actions:
The camera (rescuer) struggles through the water, pushing floating chairs aside. The breathing is loud and jagged. The headlamp beam sweeps across the room and locks onto the puppy. The rescuer lunges forward, splashing heavily. Two black-gloved hands reach out, grab the puppy by the scruff, and pull it down to the rescuer's chest to navigate out.
Background Sound:
The echoey sound of water sloshing against walls and panicked breathing. The rescuer shouts: "I'm not leaving without you! Where are you?", followed by a gasp and a relieved "Oh, thank God I see you!" The sound of the puppy yelping and the water gurgling.
