The prompt

Scene paragraph A crowded open-air market street on a bright afternoon, photoreal urban action. Colorful stalls of fruit and fabric with strings of lanterns line both sides, shoppers everywhere. A young Black woman bike courier with short braids, wearing a bright yellow rain jacket, black cargo pants and a small black backpack, carries a small brown package through the market. Live-action footage shot on 35mm film, real people, natural skin and textures.

First-person point of view at her eye height, her hands in yellow sleeves holding the package. 0–2s: she walks through the market with the package in front of her. 2–4s: she turns the package to check the address label. 4–6s: she walks up to a blue door and her hand knocks on it. 6–8s: the door opens and an old woman smiles and reaches for the package. Throughout: eye-height point of view with her hands always visible, one continuous take.
