DURATION: 10 SECONDS ASPECT RATIO: 16:9 CHARACTER REFERENCE: Use the woman from the provided character sheet. Preserve her exact facial identity, hairstyle, body proportions, clothing and appearance. EXACTLY ONE woman. No other people. No vehicles. No buildings. SCENE: A completely deserted two-lane highway cuts through a vast, brutally hot desert. Dry sand and sparse desert scrub stretch endlessly on both sides. Harsh afternoon sunlight. Subtle heat shimmer rises from the asphalt. The woman walks alone down the highway carrying a GAS CAN in one hand. She has a very light, natural sheen of sweat from the heat — subtle, NOT drenched. NO DIALOGUE. NO MUSIC. [00:00–00:02] EXTREME LOW road-level shot, camera almost touching the asphalt. A SMALL SCORPION crawls across the hot road in the foreground. Behind it, the woman's boots enter frame and steadily approach. The gas can swings naturally beside her leg. DO NOT SHOW HER FACE. [00:02–00:04] Cut to a low side tracking shot moving alongside her. Frame her boots, legs, hand and gas can as she walks. Brief close detail of her hand gripping the gas-can handle. Her upper face remains out of frame. The empty desert highway stretches behind her. DO NOT SHOW HER FACE YET. [00:04–00:07] Cut to a medium rear three-quarter tracking angle. The camera smoothly moves around toward her front as she continues walking, finally REVEALING HER FACE. Her expression is focused, serious and controlled — almost dangerous. She does not look at the camera. A few strands of hair move naturally in the hot breeze. Subtle sweat catches the sunlight. [00:07–00:10] Cut to a dramatic LOW FRONTAL TRACKING SHOT. Camera moves backward directly ahead of her while she continues walking toward it. Gradually tighten from medium framing toward a closer view of her face. Her eyes remain fixed somewhere far down the road. She looks determined and dangerous, like she knows exactly where she is going. Gas can remains visible at her side. Heat waves distort the empty highway behind her. END while she is STILL WALKING. VISUAL STYLE: Gritty cinematic road-movie photography. Grounded live-action realism. Sun-bleached desert colors. Harsh natural sunlight. Subtle 35mm-style grain. Slightly imperfect exposure. Natural skin texture and pores. Realistic subtle perspiration. Heat shimmer above asphalt. Atmospheric desert dust. NOT glossy. NOT plastic AI skin. NOT beauty-commercial lighting. NO exaggerated orange-and-teal grading. CRITICAL: ONE woman only. Same character identity throughout. Same outfit throughout. Same gas can throughout. Gas can remains in the SAME HAND. She travels in the SAME DIRECTION throughout. No cars. No people. No buildings. No civilization. No destination revealed. NO whip-pan. NO dialogue. NO music. DO NOT SHOW HER FACE during the first 4 seconds. Once her face is revealed, preserve her exact character-sheet facial identity. She NEVER stops walking. She NEVER smiles. She NEVER looks into the camera.
