Chase shot

The prompt

Scene paragraph A crowded open-air market street on a bright afternoon, photoreal urban action. Colorful stalls of fruit and fabric with strings of lanterns line both sides, shoppers everywhere. A young Black woman bike courier with short braids, wearing a bright yellow rain jacket, black cargo pants and a small black backpack, carries a small brown package through the market. Live-action footage shot on 35mm film, real people, natural skin and textures.

Chase shot from behind and slightly to her left, the camera on a running gimbal racing after her at a full sprint from the first second. 0–2s: she bursts between two stalls. 2–4s: crates and hanging fabric whip past the lens. 4–6s: she ducks under a string of lanterns and leaps over a spilled basket of oranges. 6–8s: she glances back over her shoulder and keeps running. Throughout: fast, reactive pursuit with her always in frame, one continuous take.
