Cinematography:
First-Person Perspective (POV) with a wide-angle lens. The camera is shaky and handheld, reflecting extreme urgency. The lighting transitions from the flat, cold white of the blizzard to the dim, translucent blue of the ice tunnel.
Scene:
A harsh, snowy mountain environment during a snowstorm. Visibility is low due to fog and falling snow. In the foreground stands a small, terrified child (approx. 10 years old), shivering violently. Next to the child is a jagged, dark opening in the snow leading into a deep glacial crevasse. The interior is a winding tunnel made of smooth, translucent blue ice.
Actions:
The child, wearing a bright red puffy winter jacket and an oversized knit hat covered in snowflakes, stands right in front of the camera. The child's face is red from the cold, tears streaming down frozen cheeks. The child is crying hysterically, grabbing the cameraman's sleeve and pointing desperately towards the dark hole. The camera (the rescuer) quickly pulls away and turns to plunge directly into the dark ice cave entrance. The rescuer does not slide, but rushes urgently down the icy tunnel on foot, boots stomping and scrambling on the uneven frozen ground. The camera shakes violently as the rescuer moves deeper into the blue void, looking around frantically.
Background Sound:
The howling sound of mountain wind. The child's high-pitched, sobbing voice screaming: "Please help! My puppy fell into the cave! Save him!", followed by the rescuer's panicked voice shouting "Puppy! Puppy! Where are you?" reverberating through the ice cave, and the heavy crunch of boots on ice.
