The prompt

Graphic-novel noir: harsh black-and-white ink drawing with heavy solid blacks, deep chiaroscuro shadows from the low sun, bold brushed ink lines and comic-book halftone dot shading, like a moving inked comic panel. 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: the image stays black-and-white ink with heavy shadows and halftone dots, one continuous take.

Tip

One colour survived: the yellow T-shirt stayed yellow. Name an object's colour if you want a single accent on purpose.
