Frame Description: A static wide frame of a bedside table. The alarm clock dominates left frame, frozen at 4:18 AM. The second hand stutters mid-motion. Surrounding it—wallet half-open revealing a boarding pass edge, unused watch, one AirPod outside the case, an ashtray with an overgrown ash column on the verge of collapse. Camera: 24mm, locked-off. No movement. Observational, almost forensic. Composition: Rule of thirds—clock left, decay elements right. Negative space behind suggests absence. Lighting: Cold, low-key. Slight top spill. Hard shadows under objects. Blocking: No human presence. Objects carry the narrative weight. Mise-en-scène: Travel + neglect + addiction collide in a single plane. Emotional Tone: Controlled anxiety. Stillness before rupture. Director’s Note: This is not a room—it’s evidence. The character is already broken before entering the frame.
