### Pre-Filled Template & Production Source

````txt
### 1 · Core theme
`cinematic teaser trailer | escalating multi-shot montage | one locked filmic grade | sound-design driven | restrained reveal, no cheesy voiceover, no rapid strobe cuts`

### 2 · Character & scene

**Protagonist:** [Protagonist]. Reference uploaded photo, features
100% preserved, no beautification. Imperfections: rain/sweat on the face,
a scar or tired eyes, worn practical gear (not a clean costume). Appears
in only 2–3 shots — a teaser implies, it doesn't explain.

**World ([World]):** the real subject. Built from texture, not
exposition — wet concrete, flickering signage, debris, weather. [Threat]
is felt, never fully shown.

### 3 · Atmosphere & quality
Shot on simulated IMAX film camera + Panavision C-series (35mm, f/4) for
the wide world beats; Sony Venice + Canon K-35 for the close character
beats. **Lock ONE grade across every shot: [Grade], low contrast,
organic film grain.** A trailer that changes look per cut falls apart —
the grade is the glue.

### 4 · Camera rules
Edited multi-shot, **escalating rhythm**: long holds early, cuts get
shorter as tension rises, then one held beat of stillness before the end.
- *Breathing:* "Handheld shot. Throughout, maintain an extremely subtle,
  breath-like camera float to enhance presence."
- *Sound (designed, not a song):* No fabricated pop track. Production
  audio + deliberate trailer sound design — low sub-bass rises under the
  escalation, one hard impact ("braam") on a key cut, then a beat of near
  silence before the title. Enumerate the sound per beat; do NOT let the
  model invent a generic music bed.

### 5 · Storyboard (6 shots, ~15s)

```
Shot 1 — Establish (long hold, quiet)
  Wide of [World], [Grade] grade, slow push. Almost still. Faint
  ambient only. The calm before.

Shot 2 — The protagonist (close)
  Tight on [Protagonist]'s face, a flicker of unease. A distant low
  sound begins under the frame.

Shot 3 — The inciting beat (the first sign of [Threat])
  Medium shot — something is wrong: water shifts, a light dies, a sensor
  spikes. The sub-bass rise starts.

Shot 4–5 — Escalation (cuts shorten)
  A rapid pair of beats: motion, reaction, a glimpse (never the full
  reveal) of [Threat]. Camera more active. Rise climbs.

Shot 6 — Smash to black + title
  One hard impact on the final motion, cut to black. A beat of silence.
  The single word [Title Word] fades up, then out.
  Close: No hero one-liner, no voiceover, no explosion montage. Just the
  cut to black, one last sound, the title.
```

### Negative prompt (Seedance / Kling — paste into the dedicated field)
```
blurry, low resolution, soft focus, watermark, text overlay, subtitles, logo, distorted face, asymmetric eyes, extra fingers, deformed hands, melting/morphing geometry, oversaturated colors, plastic skin, glossy CG render, video-game look, 3D cartoon render, flat even studio lighting, grade shifting between shots, rapid epileptic strobe cuts, cheesy lens flare, frame flicker, ghosting, lifeless locked-off camera, generic stock music feel
```
