A jumbled street in a small town market day teems with activity. Amid the crowd, an ordinary-looking cat, termed “moggie” by locals, paws at a leaf, its green eyes focused with curiosity. Street vendors, or “cetes”, thunderously auction their goods, creating a clamor that vibrates in a rhythmic echothroughout the scene.
A first-person perspective shot from the eyes of the cat heightens the senses with glowing light shining from a narrow alley. As the cat ventures in, we see the world in varying nuances of green, playing on the theme of curiosity and exploration.
From afar, a herald, or “pursuivant”, appears. The camera angle changes to a high-angle shot, with a zoom in on his vibrant-red uniform. His presence disrupts the balance of the small town, introducing a high contrast red and green theme, foreboding the changed dynamic that his news will bring about. The shot ends as the tension between the unsuspecting locals absorbed in the market hustle and the arriving pursuivant builds.
