Trailer Beats from a Premise

The beat structure a trailer needs — hook, escalation, turn, title card — written before any footage is paid for.

Input

A cyclist finds a camera that photographs tomorrow.

Hook — 12s
A dawn commute: a cyclist picks up an old Polaroid camera; the first picture develops to reveal tomorrow’s newspaper headline—himself in a crash.

Setup — 28s
He experiments: each photo shows the next day’s small events—missed buses, spilled coffee, a stranger’s face—proof the camera photographs tomorrow, and he begins to test its limits.

Escalation — 40s
What starts as helpful interventions grows urgent: the camera predicts a deadly pileup and a missing child; every choice to change tomorrow spirals consequences and attracts people who’d weaponize the gift.

Turn — 20s
A chilling Polaroid appears: the cyclist dead tomorrow holding the camera—he learns the camera may be shaping fate, not just revealing it, forcing a desperate, impossible gamble.

Title card — 3s
Black frame, bold title and tagline—(e.g.) "TOMORROW'S EXPOSURE" — "What you fix tomorrow can cost you today."
