The prompt

Live-action footage, real people, natural skin and textures, with one-point perspective down the centre of the street, perfectly symmetrical depth, a wide-angle lens, cold clinical light and an unsettling, precise stillness. A city street in the late afternoon. A young man in a dark wool coat walks along the sidewalk past shop windows toward a small corner café. Wide shot, the camera tracking sideways beside him at walking pace from the first second. 0–2s: he walks past a row of shop windows. 2–4s: he passes a flower stall and a parked bicycle. 4–6s: he reaches the café and the camera eases to a stop as he does. 6–8s: he opens the café door and steps inside. Throughout: the frame stays one-point perspective and symmetrical in cold, clinical light, one continuous take.

Reusable look block

Live-action footage, real people, natural skin and textures, with one-point perspective down the centre of the street, perfectly symmetrical depth, a wide-angle lens, cold clinical light and an unsettling, precise stillness.

Paste this before any scene. If the look needs a light source (neon, streetlights, golden hour), set the time of day to match.

Tip

One-point perspective needs a camera looking down the street. On a sideways tracking shot you get the cold wide lens but not the vanishing point, so change the shot if you need it.
