Today I remembered: still waters hide sharp teeth. The surface is calm, glassy—almost too perfect. Beneath, shadows move, slow but certain. A glint of silver in the dark. The current changes. The silence breaks. The predator rises.”
Visual Suggestions
• Opening: A still, fog-covered ocean or lake at dawn.
• Slow underwater pan, murky but with flickers of movement.
• A sharp fin or flash of scales breaking through.
• Ripples becoming waves.
• Final shot: dark eyes or a predatory silhouette disappearing back into the deep.
Mood
• Slow build, tense pacing.
• Color grading in cold blues and deep teals.
• Subtle, low rumbling sound design, swelling to a sharp crescendo at the “predator rises” moment.
