[CINEMATIC SETUP]
Gritty neo-noir action, single continuous side-scrolling long take,
raw and unglamorous fight choreography, exhausted realistic combat,
desaturated teal-green color grade, harsh fluorescent and sodium
vapor lighting, Korean revenge thriller aesthetic, 35mm film grain.
[CHARACTERS]
The Man: disheveled middle-aged man in a wrinkled black suit,
loosened tie, bruised face, wild unkempt hair, gripping a claw
hammer in his right hand.
The Thugs: 8 street thugs in cheap dark jackets and hoodies,
armed with wooden sticks, pipes and bare fists.
[LOCATION]
A narrow rain-slicked alley at night, brick walls lined with
pipes, dumpsters, hanging cables, steam rising from grates,
a single buzzing fluorescent tube overhead.
[TIMELINE]
[0:00–3] Static wide profile — The Man stands alone at the left
end of the alley, hammer hanging low, breathing heavy. The Thugs
fill the right side, slowly closing in.
[3–6] Lateral tracking right — The Man walks straight into the
group swinging the hammer in wide brutal arcs, two Thugs drop,
the rest swarm him from both sides.
[6–9] Lateral tracking continues — The Man takes hits, staggers
against the brick wall, headbutts one Thug and drives his elbow
into another, movements getting slower and heavier.
[9–12] Lateral tracking continues — exhausted brawling in the
steam, The Man drags a Thug down with him, rises using the wall,
swings the hammer one final time.
[12–15] Slow push-in — The Man stands alone among fallen Thugs,
swaying, hammer dripping, staring down the empty alley as the
fluorescent light flickers.
[SFX]
Dull impacts, wood cracking, bodies hitting wet concrete, ragged
breathing, distant city hum, buzzing fluorescent light.
[MUSIC]
Melancholic waltz strings over the violence, ironic and elegant
counterpoint.
[QUALITY ANCHOR]
Photorealistic 4K, realistic fight physics, weight and momentum
on every hit, stable character design, continuous unbroken camera
motion, no flicker, no deformation, no morphing
