Prompt (original, unmodified)
A green hill tea estate in bright daylight, rows of tea bushes covering the slopes, tall trees along the top ridge. A tractor pulling a loaded trailer drives along a track between the bushes. A giant alien — brownish-black, slimy, with long whipping tentacles — has wrapped its tentacles around the trailer and is dragging the whole tractor backward toward the trees, the driver trapped in the seat. On the ridge above, a soldier loads a rocket launcher. Sound: roaring tractor engine, groaning metal, wet tentacles slapping, the alien's low roar, radio voices. Shot 1 (0–3s) — THE HOOK: Low rear shot across the slope. The giant alien wraps its slimy tentacles around the loaded trailer and hauls it backward up the hill toward the trees, the tractor's wheels spinning and tearing through the tea bushes. The driver wrestles the wheel and shouts into his radio: "IT'S DRAGGING ME TO THE TREES!" Shot 2 (3–6s): On the ridge above. A soldier drops to one knee and lifts a rocket launcher onto his shoulder, aiming down the slope — but holds his fire, the alien wrapped on the trailer with the driver right there. He calls on the radio: "Cut the trailer! Break free!" Shot 3 (6–9s): At the tractor. The driver pulls the trailer release pin, and the tractor lurches forward, suddenly free, bouncing down through the bushes. The alien, still wrapped around the loose trailer, is left behind and spills out onto the open hill slope, rearing up tall and clear, tentacles spread wide. Shot 4 (9–13s) — BIG SLOW-MOTION MOMENT: The alien is out in the open on the slope now. The soldier fires from the ridge. Bullet time — the rocket streaks down the hill in slow motion, smoke trailing behind it, straight into the alien. The hit throws its slimy body up off the slope, tentacles flinging outward, torn tea leaves hanging in the air. Shot 5 (13–15s): Time snaps back. A big burst of fire and slime rolls across the hillside as the alien drops and lies still in the bushes. The tractor bounces to a stop further down the slope, the driver looking back up the hill. Smoke drifts over the tea estate. Cut.
