Generate the master frame the whole film is built from — the wardrobe, the light and the film look all get locked here.

THE WARDROBE: a cream silk headscarf with a small rust-red floral print tied under the chin with the knotted ends hanging at the left side of the neck, tortoiseshell cat-eye sunglasses, a fitted cream boat-neck short-sleeve top, high-waisted red cotton capri trousers ending at mid-calf
THE SHOES: cream leather flat slingbacks
THE CAR: a pastel mint green 1960s open-top convertible
THE PLACE: a narrow coastal cliff road on the Italian Riviera, a late summer afternoon in 1967
THE FILM STOCK: warm faded Kodachrome colour, a slightly overexposed pale sky, low contrast with lifted blacks, soft halation on the highlights, fine even grain, gentle softness at the corners

ASSET MAP — every reference is bound here and cited by tag below:
@image1 — Avatar 1. This is the person; it defines face and identity.
The numbering follows the order the references are attached. Cite them by tag;
never rely on a label drawn inside an image.

ATTACHED IMAGES ARE MANDATORY AND FINAL: If an avatar image is attached, that is the
person — reproduce them exactly, in every single frame, and never invent a different
face, hairline, hair colour, skin tone, body or age. If a product image is attached,
that is the product — reproduce it exactly, in every single frame, and never invent a
different shape, proportion, colour, material, finish, label or branding. The attached
images outrank every word written below them: wherever an attached image and this text
disagree, follow the image. Nothing about an attached avatar or an attached product may
be imagined, substituted, swapped, restyled, simplified or "improved" at any point in
the chain.

One photorealistic 1960s fashion editorial photograph: the character on THE PLACE,
seated on the open door of THE CAR, shot on 35mm.

CHARACTER LOCK — HIGHEST PRIORITY: The character is exactly the person in @image1. Copy
their face, facial structure, eye shape and spacing, eyebrows, nose, mouth, exact skin
tone, hairline, hair length, texture and colour, facial hair as shown or none if none,
eyeglasses, freckles and distinctive marks, apparent age and build. Preserve their gender
presentation exactly as shown; do not masculinize, feminize or otherwise reinterpret it.
Do not beautify, slim, de-age or restyle. The small jewellery @image1 shows on the ears,
neck and hands stays on. Their own hair is worn under the headscarf with loose strands
escaping at the temples, in their own colour and texture from @image1.

THE COSTUME: The character wears THE WARDROBE and THE SHOES, complete and visible from
the top of the headscarf to the soles of the shoes. This costume is the premise of the
card and replaces whatever @image1 shows them wearing; everything else about @image1 —
face, hair, skin, build, jewellery — is untouched.

FRAMING: A wide full-body shot from a low three-quarter angle, camera about 4 metres away
at waist height. The whole body from the top of the headscarf to the soles of the shoes
sits inside the frame, with clear open space above the head and below the shoes, and the
car and the coastline reading small around them.

POSE: They sit upright on the top edge of the open driver's door of THE CAR, torso
straight, both feet flat on the pale road, knees together and angled toward the camera.
One forearm rests along the top of the door. The other hand is raised to their face, two
fingertips resting on the frame of the sunglasses at the bridge of the nose. Head turned
toward the lens, chin slightly down, unsmiling. Exactly one head, two arms, two hands, two
legs and two shoes appear in the photograph, each one belonging to the same single body.

THE SCENE: Behind them, a low weathered stone wall along the cliff edge, the glittering
Mediterranean below, a green rocky headland, terracotta and ochre villas and umbrella
pines up the hillside. The road, the wall and the hillside are empty and still.

LIGHT: Hard late-afternoon sun from camera left, warm and directional, crisp shadow edges
on the car body and their legs, natural fill bouncing off the pale road surface and the
paintwork of THE CAR. The sun is the only source.

SKIN: The skin reads as unretouched 35mm — visible pores, faint freckles, fine peach fuzz
along the cheek edge, a natural sheen on the forehead and cheekbone, individual brow hairs
and lashes, small natural irregularities in the skin tone.

STYLE: THE FILM STOCK, applied to the whole photograph. The photograph fills the frame
edge to edge.

NEGATIVE: No duplicated or repeated limbs, hands, feet or shoes. No third shoe. No second
person, no crew, no photographer, no camera or equipment in frame. No printed border, no
sprocket holes, no film-strip edge, no torn paper edge, no white margin. No text, no
captions, no logos, no watermark, no signature. No modern clothing, no modern cars, no
modern signage. No beauty filter, no waxy or plastic skin, no retouching. No distorted
hands or fingers.

OUTPUT: One photorealistic 1960s fashion editorial photograph, full body in frame, the
character's identity taken from @image1, high resolution.

Generate the empty location the six shots all happen in. No people in this one — it is the plate that keeps the place and the car the same from shot to shot.

THE CAR: a pastel mint green 1960s open-top convertible
THE PLACE: a narrow coastal cliff road on the Italian Riviera, a late summer afternoon in 1967
THE FILM STOCK: warm faded Kodachrome colour, low contrast with lifted blacks, soft halation on the highlights, fine even grain, gentle softness at the corners

One photorealistic wide establishing photograph of THE PLACE, with nobody in it. The road,
the wall and the hillside are empty and still.

THE SCENE: THE CAR is parked at the edge of the road, seen in three-quarter, showing its
paintwork, the chrome trim, the round side mirror, the thin wood-rimmed steering wheel, the
cream-faced dashboard gauges and the empty cream leather seats. A low weathered stone wall
runs along the cliff edge. Below it the glittering Mediterranean with two small white boats
far out on the water, a green rocky headland, terracotta and ochre villas with a small
domed church stacked up the hillside, umbrella pines and cypress trees.

LIGHT: Hard late-afternoon sun from camera left, warm and directional, crisp shadow edges,
a slightly overexposed pale sky, warm bounce light off the pale road surface. The sun is
the only source.

STYLE: THE FILM STOCK, applied to the whole photograph. The photograph fills the frame
edge to edge.

NEGATIVE: No people anywhere, no figures, no silhouettes, no reflections of a person. No
second car, no traffic, no modern vehicles, no modern signage, no road markings from the
present day. No panels, no grid, no contact sheet, no multi-frame layout, no labels, no
titles. No printed border, no sprocket holes, no film-strip edge, no white margin. No text,
no captions, no logos, no watermark, no signature.

OUTPUT: One photorealistic wide establishing photograph of an empty coastal cliff road with
one parked convertible, high resolution.

Cut the six shots into the finished campaign film.

ASSET MAP — every reference is bound here and cited by tag below:
@image1 — Avatar 1. This is the person; it defines face and identity, and it outranks
every other reference on the face.
@image2 — the cover frame from step 2. The master for the costume, the light and the film
look of every shot.
@image3 — the location from step 3. The cliff road, the car, the stone wall, the sea and
the hillside villas, plus the car's seats, steering wheel and dashboard gauges. Every shot
happens inside this one place, and where @image2 and @image3 disagree about the inside of
the car, @image3 is right.
The numbering follows the order the references are attached. Cite them by tag;
never rely on a label drawn inside an image.

A 1960s fashion campaign film, shot on 35mm, cut from a single afternoon's photo shoot on
a coastal cliff road: one character, one look, one location, six shots joined by straight
cuts on the music.

CHARACTER LOCK — HIGHEST PRIORITY: The character in every shot is exactly the person in
@image1, dressed as in @image2. Their face, facial structure, eye shape and spacing,
eyebrows, nose, mouth, exact skin tone, hairline, hair length, texture and colour, freckles
and distinctive marks, apparent age and build stay identical in every frame of every shot.
Their gender presentation stays exactly as @image1 shows it. There is exactly one person on
screen for the whole film, and the road, the wall and the hillside stay empty behind them.

COSTUME LOCK: The character wears exactly what @image2 shows, unchanged from the first
frame to the last — the same headscarf tied the same way, the same sunglasses, the same
top, the same trousers, the same shoes, the same jewellery. The hair and the makeup are the
same in all six shots.

LOOK LOCK, identical in all six shots: the film look of @image2 — warm faded Kodachrome
colour, low contrast with lifted blacks, a slightly overexposed pale sky, soft halation on
the highlights, fine even grain, gentle softness at the frame corners, subtle gate weave.
The light is the same in every shot: hard late-afternoon sun from camera left, warm and
directional, crisp shadow edges, warm bounce off the pale road lifting the shadow side of
their face. The sun is the only source, and the grade in the last frame is identical to the
grade in the first.

SKIN IS THE SUBJECT. In every shot the skin reads as unretouched 35mm: visible pores, faint
freckles, fine peach fuzz along the jaw and the cheek edge, a natural sheen on the forehead
and cheekbones, individual lashes and brow hairs, flyaway hairs lit from behind.

CAMERA FEEL: every shot is handheld by a working stills photographer moving around their
subject. Gentle continuous sway, small unhurried corrections, horizon one to three degrees
off. Each shot carries one single slow move with a soft ease in and a soft ease out, and
that move is the only move in the shot.

SHOT 1, 0-4s, WIDE ESTABLISHING. The first frame is @image2. Full body, low three-quarter
angle from about 4 metres at waist height. They sit on the sill of the open driver's door
exactly as in @image2, one forearm along the top of the door, the other hand resting in
their lap, both feet on the road. They lift that hand slowly to their face and rest two
fingertips on the frame of the sunglasses, settle their shoulders and turn their chin a
fraction toward the lens. Sea wind moves the knotted scarf ends and the loose strands at
their temple.
CAMERA: a slow push in from 4 metres to about 3 metres, easing in and out.

SHOT 2, 4-8s, LOW HERO ANGLE. Cut. Low angle from near the road surface, about 2 metres
away. They stand beside the open driver's door, one hand on the top of the door frame,
weight settling onto one hip, chin lifting slowly as they look off past the lens toward the
sea. Pale sky and the tops of the umbrella pines fill the upper frame, the sun flaring
softly off the chrome trim below.
CAMERA: a slow rise from low to just under eye level as their chin lifts, the two moves
finishing together.

SHOT 3, 8-12s, PROFILE IN THE WIND. Cut. Clean side profile at eye level, about 2 metres
away, their face square to the side of the frame. They stand at the low stone wall looking
out to sea, spine straight, one hand on the wall. The sunglasses are pushed up into the
headscarf above their forehead and their eyes are bare. The wind lifts the knotted scarf
ends and the fine hairs at their temple sideways. They blink once, slowly. The sun rakes
across the bridge of their nose, their lashes and the edge of the scarf. The glittering sea
and a distant white boat sit soft behind them.
CAMERA: almost still, only the natural handheld sway and a very slight drift closer.

SHOT 4, 12-16s, DETAIL, HAND AND CHROME. Cut. Tight detail about 60 cm away. They are back
at the car, their hand and forearm resting on the wood-rimmed steering wheel, fingers
relaxed, short natural nails, the chrome dash trim, the round cream-faced gauges and the
cream leather seat beside their hand, the sea blurred far beyond the windscreen. Their
fingers move once, tapping the wheel lightly. The frame holds the hand, the wheel and the
dashboard, with at most a soft edge of their jaw at the very top.
CAMERA: a slow drift along the chrome from the gauges to their hand, a bright specular
streak travelling with it.

SHOT 5, 16-20s, WALK AND LOOK BACK. Cut. Three-quarter rear at eye level, about 3 metres
away. They walk away from the lens along the cliff road toward the parked car, the knot of
the headscarf and its hanging ends reading clearly on the back of their head, the sunglasses
held down at their side in one hand. Around 18.5s they turn their head back over one
shoulder into the lens, calm and unsmiling, and hold it. Their long shadow runs across the
pale road ahead of them.
CAMERA: a slow follow at walking pace, drifting a little closer as they turn.

SHOT 6, 20-24s, BEAUTY CLOSE-UP. Cut. Head and shoulders at eye level, about 80 cm away,
their face filling most of the frame, one single head in frame, turned a few degrees off
square to the lens so the light falls unevenly across it. The shot opens with the sunglasses
already on their face, covering their eyes. Across the shot they slide the sunglasses slowly
DOWN the bridge of their nose with two fingertips until the frames sit low on the nose and
both eyes are uncovered above them, and they look directly over the top of the frames into
the lens. The sunglasses travel downward only, they never move back up, and they are never
lifted onto the face. One clean bright side light across one cheekbone, a soft warm shadow
down the other side, a small catch-light in each eye. Every pore, freckle and fine hair
readable. They hold the look. The last frame of the film is their uncovered eyes meeting
the lens.
CAMERA: an extremely slow push in through the whole shot, coming to rest at the end.

SUNGLASSES LEDGER — the state at the start of each shot: shot 1 on the face, shot 2 on the
face, shot 3 pushed up into the headscarf with the eyes bare, shot 4 out of frame, shot 5
held down at their side in one hand, shot 6 on the face and then sliding down the nose. The
sunglasses are in exactly this state at the start of each shot.

EDITING: Six shots, straight cuts only, one cut every four seconds, each cut landing on the
music. Each cut is an instant hard cut from one frame to the next.

CONSTANT THROUGHOUT: the same person, the same face and the same costume in all six shots.
The location matches @image3 in every shot, the camera stays on this cliff road, and the car
stays parked exactly where it is for the whole film. Their poses are natural model poses
with a visible beginning, middle and end, settled into at human speed and comfortably held.
Their mouth stays closed and relaxed. The chrome, the side mirror and the sunglass lenses
reflect only the road, the sky and the sea.

AUDIO: One continuous original instrumental across the whole film — a soft, warm 1960s
Riviera bossa nova with nylon string guitar, brushed drums, a light upright bass and a
distant vibraphone, unhurried and gentle, starting at the first frame and playing evenly to
the last. Underneath it, quiet natural ambience: a light sea breeze, the sea far below,
faint cicadas, the scarf fabric moving in the wind. The cuts themselves are silent.
No dialogue. No subtitles.
