muted, silvery, high-contrast colour
A sodium-vapour night bathes the street in monochrome amber streetlight against inky black shadows.
15Live-action footage, real people, natural skin and textures, under sodium-vapour streetlights: everything bathed in monochrome amber-orange light, deep black shadows and an inky night sky. A city street at night. 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: everything stays bathed in monochrome amber sodium-vapour light with deep black shadows, one continuous take.

Monochrome is the point: one light colour and no fill. The neon OPEN sign that crept in is the only accent, and it helps.
