A documentary of a mountain village, low-saturation but not washed-out, with restrained warm-cool tones. The prompt controls the documentary feel with texture terms like "oxidized silver jewelry, embroidery stitching, no skin smoothing, no HDR" — 30 seconds packed with detail.

[Unified Visual Tone] Widescreen, natural daylight, low saturation without looking gray, warm and restrained color tones, realistic skin tones, soft highlights, shadow detail preserved, subtle film grain. The mountains and sky lean slightly cool, while the characters' skin tones and clothing retain a natural warmth, creating a restrained, refined layering of warm and cool tones. Preserve skin texture, hand detail, fabric wrinkles, embroidery stitching, the oxidized look of silver ornaments, and the texture of wooden architecture and earth. No skin smoothing, no HDR, no plastic look, no over-sharpening, no filter look, no fake premium color grading. [Storyboard] Shot 1 (0—2.5s) | First Glimpse of the Mountains, reference @Image1. Opens with a low-angle wide shot: mountains, terraced fields, forest, and a distant village spread out quietly; in the foreground, blades of grass or branches sway gently, and cloud shadows drift slowly across the ground. The camera pans slowly and pushes in very slightly; the movement is soft and steady, carrying the real weight of a camera, as if a cinematographer were quietly observing the scene. Faint wind, distant voices, and the very light clink of silver ornaments drift in from afar, letting a sense of daily life enter the frame first. Transition: the camera passes nearby leaves or a patch of shadow, using a real foreground occlusion to move naturally into the interior of the village. Shot 2 (2.5—5.3s) | A Child Sees, reference @Image2, @Image3. As the tree shadow clears, we first see the backs of elders beneath the eaves, then, as the camera steadily pans sideways, a child watching quietly by a railing or the edge of the open ground comes into view. Choose one child as the main point of view; the child leans forward slightly, tilts their head up a little, and gazes quietly into the distance — not looking at the camera, not smiling on cue, not being cute for the camera — keeping a genuine pause and sense of breathing. The composition should have layered depth: eaves or tree shadow in the foreground, the child in the mid-ground, and the moving crowd in the background, so that the act of "seeing" feels real. Transition: a person in ethnic dress passes in front of the child, their sleeve or hem naturally sweeping across the lens to form a soft occlusion, carrying the shot smoothly into the costume detail. Shot 3 (5.3—8.2s) | Seeing the Costume, reference @Image4, @Image5. As the occlusion clears, the shot moves into a medium close-up of the costume. Fingers gently smooth the front of the garment; embroidery, woven trim, tassels, buttons, fabric fibers, the headdress, and silver ornaments are gently revealed under natural light. The camera moves slowly upward following the hand's motion, performing only a single soft, precise rack focus — from the embroidery at the waist to the headdress and silver ornaments. Reflections off the silver must stay restrained; the fabric should show real signs of wear; the tassels sway only slightly with breathing and the breeze. The image should be refined but must never look like a fashion advertisement — it needs a sense of everyday life and handmade craft. Transition: after adjusting their outfit, the person turns naturally; the camera pans gently along the direction of the shoulder and head's turn, revealing the activity area and the people around them. Shot 4 (8.2—11.3s) | The Rhythm Slowly Begins. Keep the same person, the same costume, the same location, and the same natural-light direction. The person walks slowly toward the activity area, the camera following closely from the side-rear, first capturing the feet realistically landing on the ground, then rising to the hem of the garment, the hands, and the upper body. Around them, some people adjust their headdresses, some speak quietly to each other, some try a few steps, some slowly raise a hand, some gently adjust their position. The singing and dancing doesn't begin abruptly — it slowly grows out of footsteps, swaying hems, gestures, and the breathing of the crowd. Transition: the main subject raises an arm; the camera moves steadily backward following the arm's motion from lower-left to upper-right, using motion-matching to naturally reveal the full scene. Shot 5 (11.3—15s) | Seeing the Song and Dance, reference @Image6. First hold on a close-up of footwork and swaying hems, then the camera slowly pulls back to reveal several villagers dancing naturally, children watching quietly at the edge, elders on the steps, and the surrounding village environment. The dancers' movements have a slight time lag between them — someone has just raised a hand, someone is turning, someone glances at a companion, someone is still adjusting their position. Avoid making it too synchronized, avoid making it look like a staged performance, and avoid having everyone smile or look at the camera at the same time. End on a performer's not-yet-completed arm-raise, the arm lifting from the lower-left toward the upper-right of the frame, the sleeve and tassels still carrying slight inertia — the image settles naturally before the motion and ambient sound have fully finished, leaving a lingering resonance. [Camera Movement and Transition Requirements] Camera movement must be refined, silky, steady, and restrained, carrying the weight and slight breathing quality of a real documentary camera. Allowed: slow pans, very slight push-ins, side-rear tracking shots, steady pull-backs. Transitions should only use leaf occlusion, eave occlusion, sleeve-across-lens wipes, a child's eyeline match, a character's turn, footstep continuity, arm-raise motion matching, and continuous ambient sound. Forbidden: weightless floating, fast whip-pans, high-speed orbiting, sudden zooms, drone dive shots, exaggerated crane moves, showy flashy camerawork, flash-white transitions, morphing/warping, and illogical hard cuts.
✍️ Editor’s Notes

开篇先定一段「统一影像气质」专门讲色彩克制(不要磨皮、不要HDR、不要假高级调色),然后每个镜头都专门写一节「Transition」,说明怎么用树叶、屋檐、衣袖这类真实前景做遮挡式硬切。这种「用现场道具做物理转场」的技巧比直接切镜更讲究,是纪实类题材里比较高阶的处理方式,能让Seedance系模型在镜头衔接处看起来不那么跳。
