Morning fog

The prompt

Live-action footage, real people, natural skin and textures, in thick morning fog: a soft grey-white haze swallowing the far end of the street, diffused shadowless light, muted colours and a hushed stillness. A city street in the early morning. A young man in a dark wool coat walks along the sidewalk past shop windows toward a small corner café. Wide shot, the camera tracking sideways beside him at walking pace from the first second. 0–2s: he walks past a row of shop windows. 2–4s: he passes a flower stall and a parked bicycle. 4–6s: he reaches the café and the camera eases to a stop as he does. 6–8s: he opens the café door and steps inside. Throughout: the fog stays thick, soft and grey-white, swallowing the distance, one continuous take.
