10-SECOND CINEMATIC BREAKDOWN SECONDS 0-2 (THE HOOK): Extreme close-up of a father's confused face staring at his phone showing "3:47 PM" while looking at an empty street corner. Camera slowly pulls back to reveal he's standing alone at a school bus stop. No bus. No children. Complete silence except for distant traffic. SECONDS 2-4: Quick cut to handheld camera following a yellow school bus from behind. The bus suddenly turns off the main road onto a desolate industrial street. Camera pushes in on the father's hands gripping the steering wheel tighter. SECONDS 4-6: Wide shot of the school bus parked behind an abandoned warehouse. Camera holds steady as small figures (children) exit the bus and walk toward a man in a gray jacket standing by a side door. The father's car is visible in the foreground, partially hidden. SECONDS 6-8: Close-up of the father's face through his car windshield, eyes widening in realization. Camera rack-focuses from his face to the children disappearing into the building in the background. His daughter is clearly visible among them. SECONDS 8-10: The father's hand reaching for his phone to dial 911. Camera holds on his trembling fingers as he presses the numbers. Final frame freezes on his daughter's backpack disappearing through the doorway.

The school said you got off at 3:47." "Harper, you should have been home twenty minutes ago." "The bus was supposed to drop you off already." "I've been waiting here since 3:45. Where's the bus?" "Your teacher said you left with everyone else." HARPER (evasive): "We stopped somewhere first." "I did get off at 3:47." "We had to make an extra stop." "The bus driver said we had to go somewhere." "We're not supposed to talk about it."
