Locked medium shot. The subject from the reference photo cautiously explores a dark ancient stone temple holding a flashlight. 0-2s she steps forward, sweeping the flashlight beam across the dusty walls with a tense expression. 2-4s she accidentally steps on a raised floor tile, freezing instantly as a loud stone 'click' echoes through the cavern. 4-6s her eyes go wide with shock as she looks down at the tile, then sharply up at the walls. 6-8s the scene drops into cinematic slow-motion as dozens of glowing neon blow-darts shoot out from the dark walls; she violently bends over backwards in a Matrix-style dodge, the glowing darts streaking inches past her face. 8-10s she recovers her balance, exhales deeply with a relieved sigh, and gives the camera a nervous thumbs-up. Ambient cave drips + intense cinematic bass drop + fast whoosh sound effects. Face, hair, and outfit remain unchanged.
