An opening image -
"A MOUSE. It starts scampering, passes a chef's knife and a sharpening steel..."
Based on those words, what's our POV of the mouse?
I ask because, right after that, as the mouse keeps scampering it passes more things - important reveals - and to make those reveals work I think the camera should be down on the surface the mouse scampers across, and should track the mouse. (While we see the mouse, we hear indistinct sounds of 2 people arguing.)
The goal, visually: At first, we have no idea where the mouse is. When we see the steel and knife, we figure he's in a kitchen. Etc. (The mouse is on a stainless steel table in a restaurant kitchen; whatever is the b.g. is indistinct.)
What's a clear and concise way to say the camera is down at mouse-eye level?
