Prompt (original, unmodified)
Shot on IMAX film camera. Photorealistic live-action western. Not animated. Not illustrated. 1880s American frontier. A dusty western village at high noon, weathered wooden storefronts, hitching posts, a church steeple in the distance. Five rugged bandits in long duster coats and dark bandanas gallop into town, hooves pounding, thick dust clouds rolling behind them. Townspeople scream and scatter, a shopkeeper slams his door, a mother pulls her child behind a water trough. One bandit leans low from his saddle, grabs a frightened 18 year old girl in a faded blue prairie dress, and hauls her up across his horse. She screams "Let me go! Somebody help me!" The bandits wheel their horses toward the edge of town, whooping and firing pistols into the air. Dynamic tracking camera, low angle shots of horses at full gallop, dust particle effects, muzzle flashes and gunsmoke, cinematic color grade, 35mm film grain, anamorphic lens flares, natural harsh sunlight. Audio: thundering hooves, panicked screams, gunfire, tense orchestral western strings.
