The Meeting
A crowded train platform on a bustling weekday morning. The Artist stands on the opposite side, his eyes meeting Jane’s from across the platform. He is wearing paint-splattered jeans and a t-shirt, looking equally stunned. The lighting is soft, with rays of sunlight breaking through the glass ceiling. The camera is positioned at an angle, capturing both Jane and The Artist in the same frame, with a focus on their surprised, almost electrified expressions.
Their eyes locked across the crowded platform, an inexplicable jolt passing between them.
Recognition
As the train doors begin to close, Jane notices The Artist holding a red sketchbook—her stolen sketchbook. Her heart races. The Artist, noticing her realization, holds the sketchbook tighter and mouths something she can’t hear. The lighting is stark, emphasizing the tension in the scene. The camera zooms in sharply on the red sketchbook in The Artist’s hand, showing Jane’s shocked face in the background.
There it was, her stolen sketchbook. The train doors began to close.
The Leap
In a split-second decision, Jane leaps forward, wedging herself between the closing train doors. People on the platform gasp, creating a buzz of surprise and tension. The Artist's eyes widen in shock as he watches her. The lighting is dramatic, casting shadows and highlighting the urgency of Jane’s movement. The camera captures the action from a slight low angle, accentuating her bravery.
With a burst of boldness, she wedged herself between the closing doors.
The Clue
The train pulls away, leaving Jane on the platform. She is breathless, clutching a single page torn from the sketchbook. The note reads, ‘Find me at the park, noon.’ Her heart pounds with anticipation as she looks at the note. The lighting is warm, giving a sense of hope and new beginnings. The camera captures a close-up of Jane holding the note, her expression resolute.
'Find me at the park, noon.'
