| TIMECODE | VIDEO | VOICEOVER | MUSIC / SFX | ON-SCREEN TEXT | DIRECTION NOTE |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ▶ ACT 1 — WORLD SCALE — OSTINATO · BPM 60 — 0:00–0:18 | |||||
| 0:00–0:08 | CLIP 01 ARCA Queue |
LILAC (V.O.) — "They designed 60,000 units… the other 59,999." | Piano ostinato BPM 60. Rain + metronomic door rhythm. Sub-bass drone out of tune with ostinato. | In 2041, the soul became property. | Metronomic door. Horror is the routine. Slow push-in after eight seconds. |
| 0:08–0:13 | CLIP 02 Group Advances |
— | Ostinato continues. Synchronized footsteps. Red emergency flicker. | — | Camera retreats at their walking speed. One organism. No one speaks. |
| 0:13–0:18 | CLIP 03 Petra Calculates |
— | BPM beginning to rise. Tunnel hum. One syllable voice fracture — she does not stop. | 19 days. | Writes final number. Delivers bad news about herself first. Methodical throughout. |
| ▶ ACT 2 — THREAT / RECOGNITION — BRAAAM #1–#2 — 0:18–0:39 | |||||
| 0:18–0:23 | CLIP 04 The Hounds |
— | Silence 2s. Then 0.3s echolocation chirp. Silence again. BRAAAM #1 region (0:28). | — | Three heads rotate simultaneously. Do not advance. Silence louder than anything else. |
| 0:23–0:27 | CLIP 05 Lilac Reads Vance |
— | Choir entering. Glitch processing electronic sound. BRAAAM #2 approaches (0:44). | Not everyone is who they chose to become. | Double-layer overlay — only audience sees both. 0.2s eye stutter. She does not yet understand. |
| 0:27–0:33 | CLIP 06 Vera + Lilac |
VERA — "I spoke in that meeting… That's a decision." | Warmest audio in trailer. Glitch silent 1.2s — she sees Vera without code. Then glitch returns. | — | "You have her eyes" barely audible. Warmest frame. Hand moving toward Lilac's face. |
| ▶ ACT 3 — THE SIGNAL — BRAAAM #3–#4 — 0:33–1:16 | |||||
| 0:33–0:37 | RAPID CUT ×4 Combat / B-7 / Soren / Federico |
— | BPM 130. Industrial percussion. Full hybrid orchestra. Rapid montage — 1 sec each beat. | — | Four-beat rapid cut from combat, B-7 scale, Soren, Federico — inevitability accelerating. |
| 0:37–0:39 | BLACK BRAAAM #3 hold |
— | BRAAAM #3 — largest so far, 3 sec sustained, full dissonance, choir + brass. Then 2 sec near-silence — piano alone. | — | Hold black under the largest hit. Then near-silence before the city. |
| 0:39–0:46 | CLIP 07 City Signal |
SABLE — "The system has one vulnerability… at the same time." | Low-frequency score chord under city pulse when she says "sixty thousand." Then silence. | — | Aerial zoom out. Violet constellation. All lights pulse once in unison on "sixty thousand." |
| 0:46–0:51 | CLIP 08 Soren + Federico |
— | Building systems hum. Ostinato under standoff. No music peak — quiet before final. | — | Soren says nothing. That is the answer. Federico nods. Walks away. |
| 0:51–0:59 | CLIP 09 Lilac Alone |
LILAC — "Nothing… I don't. [0.6s] Anymore." | Absolute silence 6 seconds. Then VO. Cracked LED steadies one second — both eyes the same. | — | ECU eyes only. Decision suspended. "Anymore" at 70% speed after 0.6s pause. |
| 0:59–1:02 | BLACK BRAAAM #4 |
— | BRAAAM #4 — MAJOR KEY. Only resolved chord. Clean brass. Choir sings resolution. 3 sec. | A N I M A | Resolved. The clock came back to zero. This time it means something different. |
| 1:02–1:09 | TITLE + TAG End title |
— | Natural decay. Piano ostinato returns. One final note. | CODE 347 / The signal was always yours. | Title + tag on black. |
