ENVIRONMENT:
A black-and-white alley at night. One overhead streetlight. Slightly wet ground with reflections. Walls and building structures on both sides. The alley extends forward with visible depth. No pedestrians.
SOUND:
Footsteps, paper scraping on the ground, light wind. No background music.
TIMELINE:
0s – 2s:
ECU / 85mm / static
A sheet of paper is blown in from the left by wind, sliding across the ground. Its edges curl slightly as it slows down and stops at the center. The paper shows a single hand-drawn arrow in rough ink, pointing straight along the alley's forward direction, aligned with the path ahead. No text is present on this paper.
2s – 4s:
MS / 50mm / slow push
The detective enters from the right. His shoe steps onto the wet ground and pauses. He looks down at the paper. His right hand keeps the gun aimed forward. His body turns in the direction indicated by the arrow, matching the alley's forward path.
4s – 6s:
POV / handheld / forward move
The view moves forward along the ground. A dropped glove appears ahead, followed by a shell casing. The glove is oriented in the same direction as the arrow. The casing rests in a reflective patch on the ground.
6s – 8s:
OTS / 35mm / slow follow
From behind the detective, he continues moving forward. As he steps into the streetlight, his body gradually becomes fully illuminated. The gun remains aimed forward at all times.
8s – 10s:
ECU / 100mm / slight push
A second, separate sheet of paper is blown in by the wind, sliding from the edge of the frame to the detective's feet and stopping. Close-up reveals hand-written text in rough ink reading "DON'T MOVE". This paper is different from the arrow paper and contains only text.
10s – 12s:
WS / 24mm / static
The detective stands directly under the streetlight, cautiously scanning left and right. The surrounding darkness remains completely still. He maintains a raised gun posture, aiming forward into the alley.
12s – 13s:
CU / 85mm / slight handheld
The detective abruptly raises his head upward. At the same time, he lifts the gun with both hands into a higher aiming position, pointing toward the rooftop above in one continuous motion.
13s – 15s:
WS / high angle / static
Cut to a high-angle rooftop view. The detective stands in the center of the streetlight circle. In the darkness beyond the light, a figure is already lying prone at the edge of the rooftop, holding a rifle aimed downward at him. A straight red laser beam extends directly from the rifle to the center of the detective's chest, without bending or reflection. Both characters maintain aim. The image cuts to black. After the screen is fully black, a gunshot is heard, followed by a brief muzzle flash appearing within the darkness.
