Footage
Handheld footage from a home security camera mounted at the top of a wooden staircase. An adult and a large yellow lab stand together. The adult holds a laundry basket, looks down the dark, shadowed stairs, and says, "Come on, let's go." The lab hesitates, ears perked, and paws at the floor in confusion. A loud, sharp knocking sound echoes from the darkness below. The adult looks down, pausing, and asks, "What's wrong?" The camera remains static, capturing the tense, authentic moment. Grainy home security visual quality, low-light indoor setting with soft overhead hallway lighting, natural and awkward movement, casual domestic atmosphere.
