Style:
Photorealistic, POV Underwater Footage, Claustrophobic, Murky Green/Black, GoPro/Action Camera Aesthetic.
Cinematography:
First-Person Perspective (POV) underwater. The vision is blurry and dark, lit only by a waterproof tactical light beam cutting through the silt. Bubbles rush past the lens. The audio is muffled and hydraulic.
Scene:
Underwater, outside the driver's side window of the sinking car. The car is tilting forward. Inside, through the glass, a large German Shepherd is thrashing in the back seat as the air pocket disappears.
Actions:
The camera (rescuer) approaches the window. A gloved hand wielding a rescue glass-breaker tool strikes the corner of the window. The glass shatters and explodes inward. The rescuer reaches into the dark cabin, grabs the dog’s collar, and pulls violently. The dog kicks and struggles, then follows the rescuer out the window. The camera kicks upward toward the surface light, dragging the dog along.
Background Sound:
The deep, muffled thrum of being underwater. The sharp "crack" of the glass breaking. The rush of bubbles. The dog’s muffled, panicked noises underwater. The rescuer’s heartbeat thumping loudly in the audio.
