Handheld Documentary Montage Prompt

A complex multi-shot prompt for a candid documentary-style montage of a woman at home, utilizing reference images for character stability.

Prompt
Montage, multi-shot candid observational footage. Do not use a single camera angle or a single continuous cut. Handheld documentary-style footage that feels accidentally captured, with slightly imperfect composition, subtle camera shake, tiny framing corrections, gentle exposure breathing, and autofocus that settles naturally a fraction of a second late. Realistic skin texture, soft natural indoor light, subtle film grain, shallow depth of field. Relaxed breathing, occasional small blinks, restrained and natural performance. Exactly 7 shots. The woman from @ Image 1 is wearing a matching cotton pajama set: a sleeveless round-neck top with loose shorts made from the same fabric and design. She is barefoot, lying on her stomach across a lived-in, slightly messy bedroom bed, browsing a mobile shopping page on a black smartphone. A house cat jumps onto the bed seeking affection, and she gently plays with it. Then a friend calls. She answers and, during the conversation, unexpectedly bursts into laughter. When the doorbell rings, she ends the call and gets up to collect her dinner. Shot 1 (0–2s): She is already moving as the shot begins, using one thumb to scroll through a product page while lightly frowning in thought. She quietly mutters in Korean: "아, 뭐 살랬더라…" Her lips must naturally and accurately sync with the dialogue. Her bare feet casually sway behind her. The low handheld camera glides along the edge of the mattress, with soft bedding partially obscuring the foreground. Shot 2 (2–4s): The house cat jumps onto the bed, compressing the blanket, then walks toward her forearm and gives one natural meow. The camera makes a tiny shake as the cat lands, then quickly shifts focus from the phone into an over-the-shoulder view that includes her face, hand, smartphone, and cat. Shot 3 (4–6s): She gently turns toward the cat and strokes it once from the forehead down toward the shoulder and back. In an affectionate voice, she says: "우리 애기 왔어?" Her mouth movements must be clear and naturally synchronized. The camera moves through the softly blurred cat in the foreground, making a short, intimate push toward her face and hand. Shot 4 (6–8s): Her friend's incoming-call ringtone sounds. She looks down to check the caller, swipes to answer, and brings the phone beside her face. The camera moves out from a slightly crooked overhead angle in a loose semicircle, capturing the continuous motion of her answering the call. Shot 5 (8–11s): The friend begins speaking through the phone. The woman first responds with confusion, then incredulously says: "어, 왜? 진짜 거짓말." Immediately afterward, she lets out a genuine, spontaneous little laugh. The cat kneads the blanket beside her. A close handheld side angle keeps the phone and her profile within the same focal plane. Shot 6 (11–13s): A clear doorbell interrupts her laughter. Both the woman and the cat turn toward the bedroom door. She plants one hand on the mattress, preparing to stand. Th
