02Aerial wide shot of a snowy pine valley at sunrise, a frozen river winding through it and low mist between the trees. Photoreal live-action film footage. 0–1s: the title 【THE LONG WINTER】 fades in fast at the center of the screen in large thin white serif capital letters with wide letter spacing. 1–8s: the title holds still at the center while the camera drifts slowly forward over the valley, the mist moving below and the sun rising over the ridge. Throughout: the title fixed at the center of the frame and visible from the first second, cold blue light warming to gold, one continuous take, no subtitles.
Say the title holds still at the center while the camera moves; otherwise the text tends to travel with the scene. Faded in and readable by 1 s.
