The pressure releases
A face full of stars
12Close-up of a seven-year-old mixed-race girl with curly hair sitting in a dark planetarium, dreamy realism, gentle camera push-in. 0–2s: she gazes forward with an expectant look, hands in her lap. 2–6s: floating stars brighten above her; she tilts her face upward, eyebrows lifting, mouth opening into a soft smile. 6–8s: she holds a relaxed, open expression of wonder, eyes shining. Throughout: moving blue and gold star reflections drifting across her cheeks and eyes, deep darkness around her, slow steady push-in.
Awe is a relaxed face, unlike surprise. Light moving across the cheeks does the storytelling.
