A dark, open field under stormy skies. Three shadowed figures stand together, unmoving. Wind moves through the scene in sharp bursts. The camera slowly pushes forward. Macbeth steps into frame, cautious. The witches turn toward him in unison. The air shifts. One speaks: "All hail, Macbeth." Another: "Thane of Cawdor." A third: "King hereafter."

A dim corridor lit by flickering torchlight. Macbeth walks slowly, alone. The camera tracks in front of him. He stops. Something catches his attention. The camera shifts—a dagger appears ahead, suspended. He stares at it. He steps forward. The dagger moves just out of reach. He raises his hand slightly. Macbeth says quietly: "Is this a dagger…" The flame flickers harder. The air feels unstable. He lowers his hand. Then continues forward. Sound: low hum, torch crackle. Music: tense, rising tone.

A large hall with dim light and long shadows. Macbeth stands at the far end. The camera moves forward slowly. A crown is placed into his hands. He looks down at it. The room remains silent.
