A double-deck tram grinds through a narrow street canyon under cantilevered neon signboards, unbranded, no readable text; the signs stack out over the roadway in layers of red, green and white light. Calm, steady energy. Real-time movement only. Opens on: the tram noses into frame, its bell sounding. Ends on: it fills the lower frame as the neon reflects along its upper deck windows. Wet night asphalt, market stalls shuttered at the kerb, tangled overhead tram wires. Wide shot, single movement: locked-off static, low angle, 24mm spherical lens at 24fps, deep focus. Neon practicals as the main source against cool night ambient, high-contrast teal-and-orange grade, 35mm film grain. Negative: blurry, distorted faces, extra fingers, warped text, oversaturated, watermark, no digital sharpness, no CGI gloss, no plastic skin, no over-smoothed textures
