=== REFERENCE MAP ===
[COVER FRAME] → the reference photograph: the woman in the cream and red floral headscarf and tortoiseshell cat-eye sunglasses, cream boat-neck top and red capri trousers, seated on the door of the pastel mint 1960s convertible, one hand lowering her sunglasses, the low stone wall, the glittering sea, the green headland, terracotta villas and umbrella pines behind. This is the master for her face, her wardrobe, the light and the film look of every shot in the film.
@[lena] → wardrobe sheet. Her face, hair and the full outfit from every angle. Where the sheet and the cover frame differ on her face, the cover frame wins.
@[road] → location plate. The cliff road, the mint convertible, the stone wall, the sea, the hillside villas. Every shot happens inside this one location.
=== FILM FORMAT ===
A 24 second 1960s fashion cover film, 1080p, shot on 35mm. SIX shots, each about 4 seconds, joined by clean straight cuts on the music. This is edited coverage of a single real photo shoot: one model, one look, one location, one afternoon.
One character only. No second person, no crew, no photographer in frame, no camera or equipment visible anywhere.
=== LOOK LOCK, IDENTICAL IN ALL SIX SHOTS ===
Warm faded 1960s Kodachrome, low contrast with lifted blacks, a slightly overexposed pale sky, soft halation on highlights, fine even film grain, gentle softness at the frame corners, subtle gate weave.
Light never changes: hard late-afternoon sun from camera left, warm and directional, crisp shadow edges, warm bounce off the pale road lifting the shadow side of her face. No lamps, no fill cards, no lighting changes, no grade shifts between shots.
SKIN IS THE SUBJECT. In every shot: visible pores, faint freckles across the nose and cheeks, fine peach fuzz along the jaw and cheek edge, natural sheen on the forehead and cheekbones, tiny imperfections, individual lashes and brow hairs, flyaway hairs lit from behind. No smoothing, no beauty filter, no waxy or plastic skin, no retouching.
WARDROBE LOCK, never changes: cream and red floral silk headscarf tied under the chin with the red tail hanging, tortoiseshell cat-eye sunglasses, fitted cream boat-neck top, high-waisted red capri trousers, cream flat slingbacks, small gold studs.
CAMERA FEEL: every shot is handheld by a working stills photographer moving around his subject. Gentle continuous sway, small unhurried corrections, horizon 1 to 3 degrees off. Never jittery, never locked off, never gimbal-smooth. One single slow move per shot with a soft ease in and ease out, nothing more.
=== SHOT 1, 0.0 to 4.0s, WIDE ESTABLISHING ===
Frame 0.0 is [COVER FRAME]. Full body, low three-quarter angle from about 4 metres at waist height. She sits on the car door exactly as in the cover frame, then lowers her hand from the sunglasses to rest on the mint paintwork, settles her shoulders and turns her chin a fraction toward the lens. Sea wind moves the red scarf tail and loose strands at her temple.
CAMERA: slow push in from 4 metres to about 3 metres, easing in and out.
=== SHOT 2, 4.0 to 8.0s, LOW HERO ANGLE ===
CUT. Low angle from near the road surface, about 2 metres away. She is now standing beside the open driver's door, one hand on the top of the door frame, weight settling onto one hip, chin lifting slowly as she looks off past the lens toward the sea. Pale sky and the tops of the umbrella pines fill the upper frame, sun flaring softly off the chrome trim below.
CAMERA: slow rise from low to just under eye level as her chin lifts, the two moves finishing together.
=== SHOT 3, 8.0 to 12.0s, PROFILE IN THE WIND ===
CUT. Clean side profile at eye level, about 2 metres away. She stands at the low stone wall looking out to sea, spine straight, one hand on the wall. Her sunglasses are now pushed up into the scarf above her forehead and her eyes are bare. The wind lifts the scarf tail and the fine hairs at her temple sideways. She blinks once, slowly. The sun rakes across the bridge of her nose, her lashes and the edge of the scarf. The glittering sea and a distant white boat sit soft behind her.
CAMERA: almost still, only the natural handheld sway and a very slight drift closer.
=== SHOT 4, 12.0 to 16.0s, DETAIL, HAND AND CHROME ===
CUT. Tight detail about 60 cm away. She is back at the car, her hand and forearm resting on the thin black steering wheel, fingers relaxed, short natural nails, the chrome dash trim and the round cream-faced gauges beside her hand, the red scarf tail falling through the top of the frame, the sea blurred far beyond the windscreen. Her fingers move once, tapping the wheel lightly. Her face is out of frame or only a soft edge at the top.
CAMERA: slow drift along the chrome from the gauges to her hand, a bright specular streak travelling with it.
=== SHOT 5, 16.0 to 20.0s, WALK AND LOOK BACK ===
CUT. Three-quarter rear at eye level, about 3 metres away. She walks away from the lens along the cliff road toward the parked car, the tied scarf and the red tail reading clearly on her back, her sunglasses now held down at her side in one hand. At about 18.5s she turns her head back over her left shoulder into the lens, calm and unsmiling, and holds it. Her long shadow runs across the pale road, the sea and the villas ahead of her.
CAMERA: slow follow at walking pace, drifting a little closer as she turns.
=== SHOT 6, 20.0 to 24.0s, BEAUTY CLOSE-UP ===
CUT. Head and shoulders at eye level, about 80 cm away, her face filling most of the frame. The sunglasses are back on. She slowly lowers them down the bridge of her nose with two fingertips, exactly the gesture from the cover frame, and looks directly over the top of them into the lens. 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. She holds it. The final frame is a still hold on her eyes as the film ends.
CAMERA: extremely slow push in through the whole shot, coming to rest at the end.
=== HARD RULES ===
Exactly 24 seconds. Exactly six shots. Straight cuts only, on the beat, at 4.0, 8.0, 12.0, 16.0 and 20.0 seconds.
NO dissolves, fades, wipes, whips, flash frames, speed ramps, slow motion, freeze frames, digital zoom, split screens, filters, light leaks, text, captions, logos or watermarks.
The same woman, the same face and the same outfit in all six shots. No wardrobe change, no hair change, no makeup change.
Her sunglasses state is exactly: on in shot 1 and 2, pushed up into the scarf in shot 3, out of frame in shot 4, in her hand in shot 5, on and then lowered in shot 6. Never any other state.
One move per shot only. The camera never combines a push with a pan or a rise.
The location matches @[road] in every shot. The camera never leaves this cliff road and the car is never moved or driven.
Her poses are natural model poses with a visible beginning, middle and end. She settles into each one at human speed. Nothing snaps, jerks, teleports or holds unnaturally still. She is never frozen and never contorted.
No dialogue. She never speaks and her mouth stays closed and relaxed.
No other people, no crew, no photographer, no reflections of a camera in the chrome, the mirror or her sunglasses.
The light and the grade in the last frame are identical to the first.
=== AUDIO ===
One continuous original instrumental for the whole 24 seconds: a soft, warm 1960s Riviera bossa nova. Nylon string guitar, brushed drums, a light upright bass and a distant vibraphone, unhurried and gentle, no vocals, no lyrics, no drop, no build. It starts at 0.0s and plays evenly to the end.
Underneath it, quiet natural ambience: a light sea breeze, the sea far below, faint cicadas, the scarf fabric moving in the wind. No dialogue, no shutter sounds, no sound effects on any cut, no whooshes.
=== OUTPUT ===
24 seconds, 1080p, six shots, straight cuts, warm faded 1960s Kodachrome fashion film, one locked character, original instrumental score, no dialogue.
