Film still from a Belarusian independent feature film, shot on ARRI Alexa Mini LF with a Zeiss Super Speed 25mm at T1.3, low handheld angle. Night in an empty courtyard between grey Soviet nine-storey panel blocks, a few lit windows, an orange sodium streetlight, wet asphalt, an old rusty playground swing. The guy from the reference (buzz cut, faded grey zip hoodie, black track pants) sits alone on the swing in the left third, rocking slowly, elbows on knees, staring ahead into the dark, his breath visible in the cold air. Off-centre composition, deep shadows, real textures, Kodak Vision3 500T grain, documentary realism, not glossy, no HDR. No text, no signs, no logos, no watermark.
