Selfie-stick tracking shot. The subject from the reference photo is filming a sunny outdoor vlog. 0-2s the subject walks and talks excitedly to the camera, greeting their audience and gesturing at the beautiful scenery. 2-6s a large CGI seagull suddenly swoops in from the top edge of the frame, clamps its beak over the camera lens, and violently yanks the camera upward into the sky, transitioning the shot to a high-angle looking straight down. 6-8s the subject on the ground looks up at the soaring camera, jumping and waving their arms frantically in panicked protest to get it back. 8-10s the subject stops jumping and puts their hands on their hips in humorous defeat, panting as the camera glides higher into the clouds. Upbeat vlog music interrupted by aggressive wing flaps and a loud seagull squawk. Face, hair, and outfit remain unchanged.
