Vertical 9:16, 8 seconds, first-person POV handheld smartphone video, one continuous take, no cuts.
Night, a narrow apartment hallway lit only by the phone's flashlight. At the end of the hallway is a bedroom door that is fully closed.
0-3s: The camera walks slowly toward the closed door; the beam sways with each step, the floorboards creak, dust floats in the light.
3-6s: The camera stops two meters from the door. The door slowly swings open about two inches by itself. Pure darkness in the gap.
6-8s: The flashlight beam trembles on the gap; a quiet, sharp intake of breath from behind the camera. Nothing comes out.
Look: real phone night footage, heavy grain, auto-exposure hunting, slight motion blur, no color grading.
Audio: footsteps, creaking wood, a faint low hum, breathing. No music.
No people or figures appear at any point. The camera never goes through the door.

Vertical 9:16, 8 seconds, first-person POV smartphone video held in the right hand, one continuous take.
A dim bedroom at night, the viewer sits on the edge of the bed. Across the room, a young adult woman in a yellow sweater stands in the lit doorway, waving at the camera with BOTH hands raised high, smiling.
0-3s: The camera is pointed at the woman in the doorway; both of her hands are clearly up in the air, waving.
3-6s: The camera slowly tilts down to the viewer's own left hand resting on the bed sheet. A different hand is holding it: a thin, pale grey bare arm with no sleeve, reaching up from the dark gap under the bed.
6-8s: The pale fingers tighten around the viewer's hand. The camera freezes on it.
Look: authentic phone footage, warm light only from the hallway, grain in the shadows, handheld micro-shake.
Audio: the woman says softly "Hey, I'm home", then silence, a sheet rustling.
Avoid: gore, monster faces, fast cuts. The holding hand must not wear any sleeve.

Vertical 9:16, 8 seconds, front-camera selfie video, one continuous take. The phone itself is never visible; we see what the front camera sees.
A young adult man stands in a small old elevator, facing the camera. Directly behind him is a mirror wall, which normally shows the back of his head.
0-3s: He looks into the camera, tired. The mirror behind him shows the back of his head, as expected.
3-5s: The ceiling light flickers off and on once. Now the mirror behind him shows his FACE instead of the back of his head: his reflection is looking straight at the camera over his shoulder, smiling slightly. He has not noticed and keeps looking at the camera with a tired expression.
5-8s: The light flickers again. The mirror is back to normal, showing the back of his head. He frowns slightly, as if he felt something.
Look: phone front camera, slightly soft focus, flicker banding, greenish fluorescent tint.
Audio: elevator hum, the light buzzing, a click on each flicker.
Avoid: distorted faces, horror makeup, text overlays.
