  "prompt": "SCENE: wide 16:9, long-lens compression, camera low on the road. An empty dusty-pink desert road running straight to a distant flat-topped mesa under a soft overcast sky, scrub brush and pale sand either side. A Mexican man in his thirties with a moustache, in a cream cowboy hat, cream cowboy boots and a costumey emerald sequinned western suit with silver yoke trim, pushes a supermarket trolley heaped with whole striped watermelons along the road edge on the left third, walking with purpose. A single tiny white pickup truck far behind on the road. Palette: dusty rose desert against emerald sequins and watermelon green.\nCAMERA: starts low and close at road level beside the trolley, then cranes up and pulls back high above the road in one continuous move, revealing the vast empty desert, the long road and the mesa, the man and his trolley becoming small. The high wide shot is framed to KEEP THE RUNAWAY WATERMELON IN FRAME the whole time.\nACTION / STORY: 0-3s he pushes the trolley forward, one wheel squeaking and wobbling, sequins glittering. 3-6s the trolley jolts over a crack and one watermelon tumbles off the top and rolls away ahead of him down the middle of the road; he stops and watches it go, deadpan. 6-10s he sighs and keeps pushing the trolley onward toward the mesa as the camera rises into the high wide shot. CRITICAL CONTINUITY: in the high wide shot the single runaway watermelon is clearly visible on the road - a distinct dark-green striped ball still rolling along the centre line well ahead of the man, kicking up a tiny puff of dust, a clear gap of road between it and the trolley, with the distant pickup truck further down the road beyond it. The watermelon never disappears from frame.\nAUDIO: a squeaky wobbling trolley wheel, the hollow thump of the watermelon hitting asphalt and rolling, sequins rustling, dry desert wind, a far-off engine. Sparse twangy western guitar. No speech.\nLOOK: a real 35mm film photograph in motion, never a 3D render. Soft, diffused, even, dimensional light; low-to-moderate contrast; colour true, soft but vibrant, never washed out; creamy highlight roll-off, a touch of warmth, light natural film grain, no HDR or sharpening. Skin with real photographic texture - pores, fine hairs, freckles. Anatomy correct: every person has exactly two arms and two hands with five fingers, no extra limbs. No visible text, logos or branding anywhere. SPEED IS CRITICAL: everything moves at normal real-time speed, like 24fps footage played back at 24fps - natural motion, NO slow motion.",
