SHOT: Medium shot from behind the audience, looking toward a small stage. A saxophone player stands in a single blue spot. Cigarette smoke drifts through the light beam. SUBJECT A saxophone player — a man in his fifties, African American, wearing a dark suit, white shirt with open collar, no tie. He plays tenor saxophone — the brass catches the blue stage light as a bright curved highlight along the bell. His eyes are closed. His cheeks puffed slightly with the embouchure. His fingers work the keys — dark shapes against bright brass. Expression: Eyes closed, transported — not performing for the audience, inside the music. Body leans slightly back, weight on heels. SCENE A small jazz club — capacity 60. Small round tables with candles in the dark foreground. The audience visible as dark shapes and occasional candle-lit faces. The stage is tiny — barely room for a quartet. Drum kit and upright bass visible at stage edges, slightly out of the spot's reach. Exposed brick walls. Low ceiling with acoustic tiles. CINEMATOGRAPHY Lighting: One blue-gelled spot from above-right — tight, hitting only the saxophonist. The blue light catches the brass, his face, and the rising smoke. Candles on tables provide tiny warm amber points in the dark audience area. Contrast: cold blue stage, warm amber audience. Smoke from the crowd drifts through the blue spot beam — visible as slow-moving grey-blue wisps. Tone: Blue spot on stage, warm amber candle points in darkness. STYLE Blue Note Records album cover aesthetic — the musician in blue light. No text, no signage, no writing, no logos, no watermarks.
