After Summer: 15s Cinematic Short

15-second cinematic live-action short, 16:9, titled concept "After Summer" (do not display title). Four distinct shots, restrained melancholy, quiet observational independent cinema. Photoreal people and locations, shot on 35mm film, fine organic grain, soft highlight halation, muted cool grey-blue sea, faded warm wood, low-contrast winter dusk, natural skin texture. No animation, cartoon, comedy or exaggerated performance. Same man in every shot: around 70, weathered face, short grey hair, grey stubble, faded navy work jacket over charcoal sweater, dark trousers. Same small weathered wooden beachfront cafe, glass entrance facing promenade; a wooden bench is just three steps to the RIGHT of its door, facing grey sea, metal railing behind bench toward beach. One realistic white and grey seagull perched on railing. Empty winter beach, closed umbrellas, no crowds. Continuous geography and dusk lighting. SHOT 1 0-4s: Intimate close detail from INSIDE cafe looking toward glass entrance. His aged hand gently turns a small hanging sign from "OPEN" to "CLOSED"; it settles against glass. Defocused grey sea visible beyond. Worn cuff and tactile hands, quiet finality. Camera very slowly pushes closer. SHOT 2 4-8s: Cut to exterior lateral wide 35mm view showing glass door on LEFT and nearby bench on RIGHT. Same man steps out through doorway, closes door behind him, then takes three slow steps RIGHT toward bench. Establish the single gull perched on railing beside bench. Natural continuous movement, no teleportation. Keep door, man and bench in same frame. SHOT 3 8-11s: Cut to intimate 85mm profile close-up at bench, matching his previous movement. He lowers himself onto seat, settles, then looks out at sea. Wind gently lifts jacket collar and grey hair. His tired face remains still; one deep quiet breath. No smile, theatrical crying or dialogue. SHOT 4 11-15s: Wide 35mm side view, man seated on SAME bench facing sea, cafe now behind him to left, gull on railing to right. Gull naturally opens wings, pushes off railing with feet and flies out over water, exiting frame. Man follows bird's trajectory with a small movement of eyes and head; camera stays with him seated alone and sea beyond for final second. Subtle slow pullback, generous negative space, level horizon. Sound only: soft wind, waves, sign tap, door latch, footsteps and brief wingbeats. No speech, narration, music, subtitles, logos or title cards. Clear hard cuts and consistent screen direction.
