End of Term

Live-action photoreal, present day. An empty school hallway at end of term, open lockers, a stripped bulletin board, low sun through the far doors. Late afternoon, silent. A person in a hoodie and backpack walks slowly down the center, trailing one hand along the lockers. A dropped flyer, a forgotten sneaker, taped outlines where posters were. Warm low sun flaring down the hall, long shadows. 35mm, slow tracking dolly behind. Shallow depth of field, grain, gentle motion blur, 24fps.
