Prompt (original, unmodified)
Handheld home-video style montage, 7 continuous shots with varied angles (avoid a single camera angle or one-take). Filmed one-handed on a phone with slight handheld shake, natural outdoor daylight, subtle film grain, photorealistic realism. A woman Image1 repots a houseplant alone on a cozy apartment balcony. Image1 is used only for her face and hairstyle. She wears a faded denim short-sleeve shirt over a white tank top with a dirt-smudged canvas gardening apron. The narrow balcony has potted plants, terracotta pots, potting soil, gardening tools, string lights, and warm midday sunlight. She is the only person in the video. The plant goes from being root-bound in a cracked plastic pot to freshly repotted and watered. Dialogue is natural spoken Korean. Shot 1 (0–2s): She taps and squeezes the old plastic pot to loosen the plant. "자, 나와라~" Shot 2 (2–4s): Close overhead as she removes the plant, exposing tightly coiled roots and gently loosening them. Shot 3 (4–6s): She places it into a terracotta pot, fills it with fresh soil by hand, and says, "훨씬 낫다." Shot 4 (6–8s): She brushes dirt from the leaves, straightens the plant, and says, "There we go." Shot 5 (8–10s): She wipes her dirty hands on her apron and smiles with a small approving nod. Shot 6 (10–13s): She waters the plant with a small metal watering can. Soil darkens as it absorbs the water. "쭉쭉 마셔." Shot 7 (13–15s): She steps back, leans on the balcony railing, admires the plant, wipes her brow, and exhales contentedly. Audio: No music—only natural sounds of tapping plastic, crumbling soil, rustling roots, patting soil, fabric movement, pouring water, light breeze, birds, and a quiet satisfied breath. No subtitles, text, logos, or watermarks. Do not recreate or copy the reference image itself.

How this prompt compares
The techniques this prompt uses are more common in vlog prompts than in the library overall:
| Technique | In vlog | Library average | Lift |
|---|---|---|---|
| handheld | 55% | 24% | 2.29x |
| close-up | 52% | 40% | 1.3x |
| natural light | 56% | 28% | 1.97x |
| warm tone | 29% | 17% | 1.7x |
Across all 5,926 prompts, the techniques used here appear at: close-up 40%, natural light 29%, wide shot 26%, handheld 24%.
The 15s duration is not arbitrary: 71% of the prompts in this library that state a duration ask for exactly 15 seconds — Seedance 2.0 accepts clips up to 15 seconds, so 15s is the model's ceiling and the most common choice.
