Prompt (original, unmodified)
0–4s | Opening Establishment A young girl stands on the edge of a luxury cruise deck, holding the railing while facing the vast open ocean. The golden sunset reflects across the water, creating a soft glowing atmosphere. Her expression is calm, thoughtful, and peaceful as wind gently moves her hair. Face consistency: must match reference image exactly. 4–8s | Walking Exploration Shot She slowly walks along the elegant cruise deck with smooth camera tracking beside her. The ship’s white architecture, glass reflections, and ocean horizon create a premium travel mood. She lightly smiles while observing the scenery, feeling free and relaxed. Face consistency: match reference image exactly. 8–12s | Emotional Close-Up Moment Cinematic close-up shot of her leaning slightly on the railing. The sunset light softly illuminates her face while ocean reflections shimmer behind her. Her expression becomes more reflective and serene, capturing a quiet emotional depth. Wind subtly flows through her hair and dress. Face consistency: match reference image exactly. 12–16s | Final Wide Cinematic Shot Aerial drone-style pullback reveals the cruise ship moving across the endless ocean under a glowing sunset sky. She stands alone at the deck edge, looking forward confidently. The scene feels powerful, peaceful, and cinematic, ending with a luxury travel mood. Face consistency: match reference image exactly.
