1970s Indian prison yard, morning. Location from <Image 1>: central doorway with 3 stone steps, brick pilasters, grey stone wall, left colonnade, pale earth ground. <Image 2> Jai: 25, lean, grey-blue prison kurta, number 15, prison cap with dark band, brass coin on his knuckles, dry low voice, 100% match. <Image 3> Veeru: 25, broad, same kurta, number 20, cap, shaving foam on jaw, eyes closed, lazy warm voice, 100% match. <Image 4> Hariram: wiry 45, thin moustache, very large ears, same kurta and cap, steel straight razor, silent, 100% match. Blocking: Veeru sits on a low stool against the wall left of the doorway, head back. Hariram stands over him shaving. Jai stands on the top step right of them, shoulder on the jamb, coin rolling nonstop. Sun high camera-right, doorway corridor dark behind Jai. Two prisoners cross the far yard, backs to camera. Timed cuts only, camera never cuts on its own, real-time: 0-2s ECU razor gliding through foam on Veeru's jaw, water drop on the blade. 2s HARD CUT. 2-5s MS three-shot: Hariram wipes the blade, Veeru exhales content, Jai's coin crosses four knuckles, his eyes slide to Hariram's ear and back. 5s HARD CUT. 5-8.5s MCU Jai on the step, coin moving, speaks slightly too loud, eyes on the coin: "So it's settled. Behind barrack six... the tunnel is ready." 8.5s HARD CUT. 8.5-11.5s MCU Veeru, eyes closed, answers without moving his head: "Thursday. Midnight. When the guards change." 11.5s HARD CUT. 11.5-14s CU Hariram: razor freezes mid-stroke, eyes widen over 0.6s, whites showing, hand tremors 2mm, ears lit against the stone. Hold to end. Real human speech, breaths, uneven pacing. Diegetic audio only: razor scrape, coin clicks through every cut, distant crows, gate clang; razor stops at the end, coin clicks continue. Restored vintage 70s film print look, photoreal: desaturated cool grey-blue cotton, rust-red brick, green-cyan shadow cast, warm tan skin, lifted blacks, soft halation, constant fine grain, steady colour every cut. Faces, caps, kurtas, positions, sun direction identical across cuts. End frame: Hariram frozen wide-eyed, razor on Veeru's jaw. 16:9. very real feel
