The prompt

Live-action footage, real people, natural skin and textures, shot on 35mm film: fine film grain, rich true-to-life colour, shallow depth of field with a softly blurred city behind, and a gentle glow on the highlights. On a rooftop garden above a city in late-afternoon sun, a girl of about ten with short brown hair in a yellow T-shirt waters potted tomato plants with a small tin watering can. Medium-wide shot at her eye level, three-quarter view, the camera holding still. 0–2s: she tips the watering can over a potted plant and water splashes onto the leaves. 2–4s: a white paper airplane glides in from screen left and lands on the rim of the pot beside her. 4–6s: she sets the can down, picks up the paper airplane and turns it over in her hands. 6–8s: she looks up and out over the city rooftops and smiles as the wind ruffles the leaves and her hair. Throughout: it stays live-action 35mm film with fine grain and natural colour, one continuous take.

Tip

The baseline for the photoreal end. Swap only this block and the scene stays put, which makes it a good control when testing other looks.
