Prompt
## I. Core Shot Details - Duration: Approx. 15 seconds. - Recommended Aspect Ratio: 16:9. - Shot Type: Third-person, frontal over-the-shoulder composition, long take, no shot/reverse-shot. - Scale Change: Starts with close-up/bust shot, ends with medium-close shot as the female lead naturally retreats. - Emotional Arc: Tense preparation → hearing a familiar greeting → brief hesitation → forced bitter smile → decisive declaration → restrained exit. - Performance Chain: Stimulus (door opens, hearing male voice) → cognitive pause → unconscious reaction (closing eyes, inhaling) → active choice (looking up, bitter smile) → dialogue ('WE'RE DONE.') → lingering emotion (reluctance but pulling away). ## II. Characters and Scene ### Female Lead Refer to uploaded image {{Mixed 1}}. Soft and clean appearance, realistic skin texture, no over-smoothing. She has made her decision before arriving but wavers when actually seeing him; performance is not anger, but a farewell suppressing pain. ### Male Lead Visible only as a dark, out-of-focus silhouette of shoulder and head in the right foreground. No face shown, no focus. Voice is gentle and intimate, unaware she is here to end the relationship. ### Scene and Atmosphere Entrance of a residence or garden. Background features soft green plants, light gray pavement, and warm circular bokeh. Natural evening light: soft cool white key light approx. 45° from the front-left, with a small amount of warm gold rim light. Quiet atmosphere with a moist, post-rain feel. Restrained and detached. > Note: Camera and lighting parameters are suggested for recreation. Suggested 70-100mm focal length, shallow depth of field; focus locked on eyes. ## III. 15-Second Performance Script ### 0.0–0.8s | Door Opens, Reveal A dark, heavily blurred silhouette of the man obstructs the frame. As the door opens, he moves slightly right, revealing the woman standing outside. Camera is stable. She looks down initially, chin slightly tucked, lips naturally parted. Body is stiff, as if rehearsed. Sound: Door opening, fabric rustle, quiet outdoor ambiance. ### 0.8–3.2s | Suppressing Emotion with Breath She inhales slowly: chest and collarbone rise slightly, shoulders tense then drop. Eyes closed longer than a normal blink. No crying or exaggerated frowning. Visible cues: deeper breathing, tightened corners of the mouth. ### 3.2–5.4s | Hearing a Familiar Greeting Male voice: 'Hey, what's up, baby?' in a light, smiling tone. She keeps eyes closed for half a second, swallows, slight tension in the brow. Exhales slowly without speaking. Performance: Reaction must follow the dialogue; familiarity shakes her but doesn't change her mind. ### 5.4–7.5s | Looking Up and Eye Contact She opens eyes, raises her gaze, then her chin in three steps. Focus shifts to his eyes. Eyes are moist but no tears fall. She stops upon eye contact, breathing slightly ragged, face restrained. No camera zoom. ### 7.5–9.3s | Bitter Smile as Final Defense A slight, asymmetrical bitter smile on one side of her mouth. It doesn't reach her eyes. She looks at him, confirming his presence but also the impossibility of the relationship. Smile fades into a look of hurt and resolve. ### 9.3–10.6s | The Declaration Maintains eye contact, says clearly and softly: 'We're done.' A short inhale before speaking; 'We're' carries warmth, 'done' brings steady resolve. Natural lip movement. Small pause after. Sound: Realistic breath and ambient noise; no emotional music or subs needed. ### 10.6–13.4s | Silence and Severing Connection She continues looking at him, not leaving immediately. Expression returns to near-calm. Body weight shifts to back foot, indicating readiness to leave despite upper body hesitation. Camera remains still. ### 13.4–15.1s | Retreat and Visual Distance She takes one or two steps back, keeping eyes on him. She becomes smaller in frame (medium-close shot). Shoulders relax, posture straightens, expression shifts from pain to detached firmness. Final state: Distance is established. No breakdown, just a calm retreat. Focus stays on her face. ## IV. Technical Execution - Camera behind male shoulder at eye level. - Follow the 180-degree rule. - Use a fixed tripod or subtle handheld breathing. - Focus always on her eyes; man and background blurred. - Protect skin tones and blonde hair highlights; preserve real skin texture and natural blinking. - 1-3 visible signals per emotional segment. ## V. Consistency and Prohibitions - Consistency in appearance, hair, jewelry, and grey knit top. - Man remains out of focus and faceless. - No rolling tears, hysteria, or exaggerated shaking. - No shot/reverse-shot or rapid zooms. - No changes to lighting, space, or eye lines. - Do not replicate the original tutorial overlays; only the character performance logic.
