Traffic of cars stuck in flooded underground highway cars lights flickering

[LOGLINE] A tense scene unfolds as drivers are trapped in their cars on a flooded underground highway, with the lights flickering ominously overhead. [SUBJECT & ACTION] The camera focuses on several cars, their drivers displaying a mix of anxiety and frustration, as they honk their horns and shout at one another in the confined space, desperate for a way out. [ENVIRONMENT] The setting is a dark, claustrophobic underground highway, water pooling around the tires of the vehicles, with flickering fluorescent lights casting erratic shadows. [CAMERA & MOVEMENT] Slow dolly-in towards a car window, then cut to a handheld shaky shot capturing a driver’s panicked expression, followed by a wide shot of the traffic jam to emphasize the chaos. [BEAT FLOW — 10s] • 0–3.3s: Close-up of a driver’s face, eyes wide with fear, as the camera shakes slightly. • 3.3–6.6s: Cut to a wide shot of the traffic jam, water splashing against the cars, with honks echoing in the background. • 6.6–10s: Focus back on the flickering lights above, slowly dimming as the tension builds, with no new speech, only the sound of water and distant shouts. [LIGHTING & COLOR] The scene is dimly lit with harsh, flickering fluorescent lights creating stark contrasts and deep shadows, emphasizing the feeling of entrapment and despair; the colors are muted with a blue-green tint from the water. [VFX & CLEANUP] Subtle water ripple effects; stable edges to avoid distractions from the main action; ensure the flickering light effect adds tension without overwhelming the visuals. [NEGATIVE DIRECTIVES] No text overlays, no watermarks, no duplicated limbs, avoid jitter/flicker, no floating artifacts, no lip-sync drift.
