Style:
Photorealistic, POV Action Footage, High Tension, Murky and Dangerous, GoPro/Action Camera Aesthetic.
Cinematography:
First-Person Perspective (POV) swimming in floodwater. The camera dips in and out of the brown water, capturing the chaotic surface and the debris underwater. The shot is extremely shaky, reflecting the struggle against the current.
Scene:
Downstream in the middle of the flooded street. A wooden door is spinning in a whirlpool near a submerged car. A tiny, wet Calico kitten is digging its claws into the wood, meowing silently with its mouth open, about to be washed off.
Actions:
The camera (rescuer) strokes powerfully through the water, dodging a floating tree branch. The rescuer reaches the spinning door just as it hits the car. The kitten slips into the water. The rescuer’s hand thrusts underwater, grabbing the kitten by the scruff. The camera lifts up, revealing the wet, coughing kitten held safe above the water line. The rescuer treads water, holding the kitten high.
Background Sound:
The loud gurgling of water submerging the microphone. The rescuer’s panicked, wet breathing. The sound of debris colliding. The kitten’s sputtering meows after being pulled from the water. A relieved shout, "I got her! She's alive!"
