[Video Specifications and Overall Style] 9:16 vertical screen, 15 seconds, one continuous shot. Inside a Chinese wildlife park, a thrilling scene accidentally captured by a tourist using an ordinary phone. It starts calm; after the giant crocodile strikes, the videographer reacts half a beat late in shock—the camera shakes, aims off-target, then hurriedly finds the subject again. Preserve the realistic feel of amateur phone footage. [Characters and Reference Lock] The female lead uses preset adult Chinese female character #1@598c0e35-7c27-4b7c-8bac-19bb206ff1c3, wearing preset outfit #2@d57ec59a-c0a5-4eae-84f4-4f02ef21a92d, strictly maintaining the facial features, long hair, clothing style, color, and material from the reference. #1 is the character, #2 is the outfit; the numbers do not appear in the frame. The administrator is a Chinese man around forty years old, with short black hair, wearing a khaki short-sleeved work uniform and dark trousers, with a work badge on his chest, standing behind and to the side of the female lead. Behind them are a small number of adult Chinese tourists in summer casual clothes, standing naturally scattered along the boardwalk. [Scene and Camera Position] Tropical crocodile viewing area, an old wooden boardwalk extending along a dark green pool, with bamboo, palms, and shrubs on the opposite bank. A thick wooden railing extends diagonally from the lower right of the frame toward the background. The external videographer stands about one meter behind and to the side of the female lead, slightly above the position of the phone in her hands, shooting vertically downward. On the right side of the frame are the female lead, the administrator, and the boardwalk; on the left and below is the pool. Humid daytime, natural daylight passing through vegetation, the water surface reflecting a slight green. Ordinary phone 1x main camera, slight hand shake, tilt, compression smearing, noise in dark areas, brief blur during rapid turns. No cinematic color grading, drone camera position, or portrait bokeh. [Female Lead's Phone Orientation—Must Be Accurate] The female lead is using the phone's rear camera to film the crocodile in the water—not a selfie, and not showing the phone to the external videographer. The female lead holds the phone horizontally with both hands at each end, fingers avoiding the rear camera. The phone is below her chest, near the outer edge of the railing, the body clearly tilted downward, with the rear lens's shooting direction accurately landing on the huge dark shadow underwater in the lower left. The phone screen faces upward and slightly toward the female lead's face; the back of the phone and the rear lens face downward toward the water. The female lead looks down at the screen, observing the target in the water through the screen. From the external videographer's slightly higher rear-side angle, the phone screen and the side edge of the body should mainly be visible; the entire back of the phone and the camera module should not be clearly visible facing the external videographer. The screen's viewfinder content matches the real water surface: the same patch of water and the same blurry dark shadow can be seen; no female lead selfie face, unrelated scenery, or wrong-direction image appears. As the female lead slightly adjusts her wrist, the phone's rear lens always follows the underwater dark shadow. Only when the giant crocodile strikes does she retract the phone in shock, disrupting its orientation. [Giant Crocodile and First-Frame State] Only one abnormally massive dark gray-black crocodile. When it leaps up, its head is close to the size of an adult's upper body, and its open mouth occupies nearly half the left side of the frame; scale references the original video—do not generate an ordinary small crocodile. In the first frame, the giant crocodile is completely submerged underwater, presenting only a huge, blurry elongated dark shadow, like sunken wood. Water reflections and turbidity obscure details; the head, eyes, nostrils, scales, or teeth cannot be clearly identified, and no part breaks the water surface. The giant crocodile maintains the same volume throughout and does not suddenly expand at the moment of leaping. [0–2 seconds: Aiming at the underwater shadow] The female lead stands inside the railing, body slightly leaning forward, holding the phone horizontally with both hands, pointing the rear camera downward at the huge dark shadow in the water to the lower left. She looks down at the screen facing her; the shadow on the screen corresponds in position to the shadow in the pool. The external videographer captures the phone screen, the female lead's side profile, and the water below from behind and to her side. The administrator warns seriously: "Miss, step back a bit, don't lean on the railing!" The water surface has only slight ripples; the crocodile still has not surfaced. [2–4 seconds: Target approaches, phone follows] The huge underwater outline slowly approaches the female lead's position. The female lead slightly rotates her wrist so the phone's rear camera continues aiming at the moving shadow, screen facing herself, not turning the back of the phone toward the external videographer. The administrator steps closer, reaching out to steady her, tone turning urgent: "That's not wood, it's alive! Don't lean over!" The female lead begins to pull her body back, but the phone is still filming the water. At the end of this segment, the crocodile's snout tip and eyes just break the water surface. [4–6 seconds: Giant crocodile strikes] The giant crocodile suddenly bursts through the water surface, its massive head rising along the outer side of the railing, open mouth instantly occupying nearly half the left side of the frame, throwing up a large splash. The female lead screams, hurriedly retracting the phone and her arm. The phone's orientation loses stability from the fright; previously it must have been consistently aimed correctly at the crocodile. The giant crocodile briefly bites her forearm extended outside the railing on one side and nearby clothing fabric. The administrator immediately supports her upper arm and shoulder/back, steadying her center of gravity inside the railing. The external videographer recoils half a step in shock, the camera briefly jerks upward; no cut or wound close-up. [6–9 seconds: Breaking free and falling into water] The giant crocodile briefly releases its bite, head falling back; the female lead takes the opportunity to retract her injured forearm, and the administrator pulls her to the inner side of the boardwalk. The action must include a clear release—the arm must not pass through closed teeth. The phone slips from the female lead's hand, flips, and falls into the pool, dropping only once. The giant crocodile crashes back onto the water surface, splashing white water. The female lead clutches her forearm; a small amount of red liquid seeps from the injury, forming short, thin streaks, staining the clothing fabric at the contact point, with one or two drops falling toward the wooden boardwalk. No deep wound display, no spurting, no heavy bleeding. The administrator shouts: "Back up! Don't reach out! Don't pick up the phone!" [9–11 seconds: Tourists panic] The female lead retreats to the middle of the boardwalk, guarding her injured forearm, shoulders tense, breathing rapid. Nearby tourists first hunch their shoulders and back away, pulling at companions; tourists farther back only turn around upon hearing the scream—some put away phones, some turn sideways to make way, exclaiming in succession: "Get back!" "Don't lean on the railing!" The crowd reactions have time delays, are not uniformly synchronized, no clipping, no one falls into the pool. The giant crocodile remains underwater and does not launch a second attack. [11–13 seconds: Administrator evacuates] The administrator stands between the female lead and the railing, shielding her as they continue retreating, gesturing for tourists to make way: "Back up! Everyone don't crowd!" A nearby tourist hands over a tissue; the female lead takes it and presses it on the same injury; the tissue contact area gradually stains with a small amount of red. The videographer backs up slightly and corrects the framing, capturing the female lead, the administrator, and the panicking tourists retreating. [13–15 seconds: Aftermath] The female lead clutches her forearm, panting, voice trembling as she says: "I'm scared to death... it really bites!" The administrator still shields her, warily watching the pool. Background tourists remind in low voices: "Stay away, stop filming!" End on the scene with the female lead still shaken, the crowd retreating, and the water's aftermath not yet settled. [On-Site Sound] All phone on-site audio recording, Chinese dialogue, no music, narration, or subtitles. At the beginning there are tourists talking in low voices, bamboo leaves rustling, and slight water sounds. The administrator's voice is close and clear, changing from a serious warning to urgent restraint as danger occurs. When the giant crocodile surfaces there is heavy water sound, the female lead's scream, nearby gasps; then the phone falling into water, splashing, rapid panting, and chaotic footsteps. The largest splash and scream briefly clip the microphone, then automatic gain recovers. Distant tourist voices are more scattered and softer; no monster roars added. [Continuity and Key Constraints] At the beginning, the female lead's phone must correctly film the underwater target: screen facing up and toward the female lead, rear camera facing down aimed at the crocodile's position; the external videographer mainly sees the screen and side edge. It is forbidden for the phone's rear camera to face the external videographer while appearing to film the underwater target. The first frame has only a blurry giant shadow underwater; no clear crocodile head, eyes, scales, or teeth appear. Red liquid appears only after the bite. Maintain continuity of character #1, outfit #2, the administrator, the giant crocodile, and the boardwalk. The injury is always on the same forearm; the red streaks, clothing damage, and tissue-pressing position correspond. Only one phone; after falling into the water it does not return to hand. The female lead and administrator remain inside the railing; the crocodile @d57ec59a-c0a5-4eae-84f4-4f02ef21a92d remains in the pool at all times. Maintain causal relationships of contact, weight, bite, release, and retreat throughout. No wound close-ups, no severed limbs, no deep tissue display. Entire film one continuous shot, no slow motion, replay, studio reveal, interface overlays, or watermarks.
