ELEVATION (2024) 

SCENE 1: THE BREAKTHROUGH

INT. DANIEL’S UNDERGROUND LAB – NIGHT

• Flickering monitors illuminate DANIEL (early 30s, intense), hunched over a levitation chamber.

• VO (Daniel, whispering): “One small step above… one giant leap for mankind.”

• He activates the device. A glass capsule floats upward, then crashes as the power spikes.

• IMAGE: Official movie poster hinting at Daniel’s discovery 

   

SCENE 2: FIRST FLIGHT TEST

EXT. REMOTE MOUNTAIN RIDGE – DAWN

• Daniel straps on a compact anti-gravity harness. His breath mists in the cold air.

• DANIEL (to himself): “Here goes everything.”

• He presses a button—feet lift inches off the ground, then higher. The sunrise glints on his visor as he soars.

• IMAGE: A glimpse of Daniel’s first flight, wonder and trepidation on his face

SCENE 3: REALITY UNRAVELS

INT. DANIEL’S APARTMENT – NIGHT

• Papers flutter. Furniture floats erratically. Daniel staggers as gravity shifts in waves.

• VO (Daniel, frantic): “I can’t control it… it’s controlling me!”

• Flash cut to news broadcasts: reports of unexplained levitation incidents worldwide.

• IMAGE: Trailer still showing Daniel’s growing horror

SCENE 4: MORAL DILEMMAS

INT. HIGH-SECURITY MEETING ROOM – DAY

• Government officials and Daniel’s mentor, DR. KIM, argue over weaponizing the technology.

• OFFICIAL: “This could end wars overnight.”

• DR. KIM: “Or it could tear reality apart.”

• Daniel slumps in his chair, torn between fame and fear.

• IMAGE: Cannes festival poster capturing the film’s psychological edge

SCENE 5: THE FALL OR RISE

EXT. CITY SKYLINE – TWILIGHT

• Daniel hovers above skyscrapers, the city lights below. His device sparks wildly.

• VO (Daniel, resolute): “I either save us… or I dooms us all.”

• He plunges toward the ground, channeling every ounce of will to stabilize himself. A blinding flash—silent.

• Cut to: Daniel on his feet, harness shattered, surrounded by onlookers in awe.
