The Package That Knocks

Make a cinematic horror short for American TikTok and Instagram Reels. At dusk, a suburban creator films an unboxing video on a front porch, surrounded by ordinary delivery boxes, Halloween decorations, and warm neighborhood streetlights. Begin with a locked-off 28mm wide shot, then use a smooth dolly toward one unmarked black package as three soft knocks come from inside it. Switch to a 50mm over-the-shoulder angle while the creator opens the box and finds a live video of the same porch, delayed by exactly ten seconds. The lighting shifts from sunset orange to sickly green. Add realistic cardboard texture, wind-blown leaves, camera mic distortion, and a final knock from behind the viewer.
