✍️ Editor’s Notes

This is a standard structured JSON prompt — shot, subject, scene, visual_details, cinematography, audio, output, seven clearly divided sections. Textbook parametric thinking, breaking every line a DP would actually say into its own key-value pair for the model. Using pro composition terms like 85mm macro telephoto plus negative-space framing shows the writer actually knows photography language, and the coral-red-meets-molten-gold combo in color_palette is a deliberate art-direction choice, not something dashed off casually. This kind of structured JSON plays well with models that support fine-grained parameter parsing, but if the base model only does coarse-grained text comprehension, it can actually backfire — too many fragmented keys and it misses the point. Basically trading human readability for machine controllability.
