English prompt

SCENE A day in New York shot entirely by the subject herself: waking in her hotel suite, coffee, getting ready, out into the city, back to the room at night. ACTIVE REFERENCES @ image1 — the hotel suite. Curved cove ceiling with warm LED coving, deep red carpet, cream walls, two black organic sculptures above a light wood headboard, white bedding with red pillows, twin bedside lamps, pale sofa, oval coffee table, sheer curtains, dark door. @ image2 — the subject. Young woman, shoulder-length wavy blonde hair with curtain bangs and highlights, light freckles, thin gold necklace, silver ring, dark brown off-the-shoulder knit with white diamond-stripe pattern. 100% matches the reference. CAMERA OWNERSHIP LOCK Only two positions exist. HELD: arm extended, camera 0.4-0.7m from her face, visible arm tension, tilt and step-bounce. PROPPED: camera on a surface she placed it on, crooked and fixed, with her moving in and out of frame. No operator shots, no tracking, nothing she could not have filmed alone. FORMAT Eight shots, 30s, seven HARD CUTS, no fades. Real-time. 0-4s SHOT 1 — PROPPED, morning room. 84° diagonal field of view, camera on the sideboard 3m from the bed at 1.1m, static and tilted. The suite matches @ image1: cove light on, curtains half open, cool daylight across the red carpet. @ image2 visible at 0.0s, sitting up on the bed edge x66 y58. No empty frame. She rubs her face and croaks at the running camera: "It's seven. In New York. Why am I awake." Stands, walks out screen-right. HARD CUT. 4-7s SHOT 2 — HELD, window light. 84°, arm's length 0.5m, above eye line. She is x50 y42 at the sheer curtain screen-left, cool daylight on the near side of her face, cove warmth behind. She pulls the curtain, squints at the street below, then into the lens: "Okay. It's actually happening." Arm wobble throughout. HARD CUT. 7-11s SHOT 3 — PROPPED, coffee. 47°, camera on the oval coffee table 0.8m away, low, looking up past a cup. She sits into frame at x55 y45, pours, tastes, pulls a face at the running camera: "Hotel coffee. We'll fix that outside." Steam bends in the light. HARD CUT. 11-15s SHOT 4 — HELD, mirror. 47°, camera at chest height reflected in the suite mirror. She is x45 y50 in the reflection, camera visible in her hand, working through her hair with the other. Bed and sculptures behind. At 13s: "This is as good as it gets. Let's go." HARD CUT. 15-18s SHOT 5 — HELD, leaving. 107° wide rectilinear, camera held low at waist height, turned forward. She crosses the red carpet to the door at x55, lens swinging with her stride. She opens it and corridor light floods the frame. Off-frame, breathy: "Downtown first." HARD CUT. 18-22s SHOT 6 — PROPPED, street. 47°, camera on a stoop rail 3m away, static, crooked. A New York block behind her — brownstone steps, fire escapes, yellow cabs, steam from a vent. She walks in from screen-left at 18.5s, stands at x60 y50, spreads her arms: "Look at this street." Then walks to the lens and takes it at 21.5s. Passers-by cross the foreground. HARD CUT. 22-26s SHOT 7 — PROPPED, diner. 84° wide, camera on the counter behind a plate, 0.7m from her, looking up. She is x55 y38, sits into frame, takes a bite, eyes widen, mouth full: "Okay, that's the one." Laughs, keeps eating. HARD CUT. 26-30s SHOT 8 — HELD, night, back in the room. 84°, arm's length 0.5m, held above her. She lies back across the white bedding at x50 y55, hair spread, in the brown knit again. Bedside lamps and cove light are the only sources, windows black with city glow. Into the lens: "Twenty thousand steps. Everything hurts." Softer: "Same time tomorrow." Wave, the frame tilts as she lowers the camera. 30.0s black. SPEECH Only the quoted lines are spoken, at the timings given, all in her voice. Lips still at all other times. No voiceover, no second speaker, no offscreen voices. Delivery is casual, unrehearsed, mid-breath, sometimes trailing off. Volume rises over street noise in Shot 6, near-whisper in Shot 8. CONTINUITY The suite matches @ image1 in both interior sequences — same carpet, sculptures, headboard, sofa, lamps. Hair, necklace and ring identical throughout. PHYSICS Loose knit slides on the shoulder with every arm movement. Wavy hair lags a frame behind head turns. Bedding creases under her weight. Step energy visible in every HELD frame. LIGHTING Shots 1-4: cool daylight from the curtains screen-left as key, warm cove LED as fill, red carpet bouncing warmth into the shadows. Shot 5: corridor light through the doorway. Shots 6-7: hard street daylight, warm diner practicals. Shot 8: lamps and cove light only. AUDIO Diegetic only, from the same camera — room tone, footsteps, door, traffic, sirens, steam vents, diner clatter, wind. Ambience ducks under her lines. No music. LOCKS Photoreal live action, 4K detail, fine grain, warm consumer-camera colour, mild rolling shutter and auto-exposure hunting. She is the only person who speaks; background figures anonymous and unfocused. No subtitles. #Seedance25 #Seedance #VLOG #Higgsfield @higgsfield @noman23761 https://x.com/higgsfield_ai/status/2083168602363150527/video/1
