The Elevator Opens to Nowhere

Create a surreal horror short inside an old apartment elevator. Frame the subject from a low corner angle with a distorted wide lens as the doors open onto a fog-filled forest instead of a hallway. Use a slow forward tracking movement, keeping the elevator buttons and the subject’s trembling hand in the foreground. Sickly green ceiling light mixes with pale moonlight beyond the doors. The forest should contain motionless figures facing away from camera, their clothing damp and outdated. As the elevator bell rings, every figure turns at once, but their faces remain hidden by smooth darkness. Add metallic echoes, distant branches snapping, and a hard cut before contact.
