Portrait, about 5 seconds. A woman in period dress lifts her face and looks warmly into the lens as steam curls from the bowl in her hands. The shot circles her slowly, pushing toward her face.
세로 인물 구도, 약 5초. 고풍스러운 차림의 여인이 얼굴을 들고, 손에 든 그릇에서 가느다란 김이 피어오르는 가운데 다정하게 렌즈를 바라본다. 카메라는 그녀의 주위를 천천히 돌며 얼굴 쪽으로 다가간다.
✍️ Editor’s Notes
The prompt is only two sentences, yet it sets three things at once: frame and duration, the woman's action and expression, and the camera's path. The first sentence puts the emotion in her gaze: she lifts her face and looks warmly into the lens. The steam in the bowl in her hands gives the still figure a continuous motion, adding a small flow to the frame without competing with the subject. The camera is written as a slow orbit that pushes toward her face, so it first circles the figure and then gathers toward the face, pulling the emotion inward. This is economical writing, provided that action, camera and detail each keep their own place. What is missing is light and setting: the prompt says only period dress, with no dynasty, fabric or location, so the model will fill in a default ancient-style backdrop.
Want tighter control? Try this expanded version:
Vertical portrait, about 5 seconds, a classical courtyard at dawn.
Opening: a woman in plain period clothing, with faint embroidery at the collar and cuffs, stands by a wooden window, with mist-covered bamboo outside.
Action: she holds a white porcelain bowl, thin steam rising from its rim and slowly curling and dispersing in the cool air. She lifts her face slowly, her gaze settling warmly on the lens, a faint smile at the corner of her mouth.
Camera: the shot slowly orbits her while gradually pushing in, ending in a close-up of her face, with her eyes and the steam both held in frame.
Light: soft backlight angles in through the window, tracing a pale golden edge along her hair and cheek, with a slightly softened background.
Pacing and sound: slow and quiet overall, with only distant wind and the faint clink of the bowl's rim, and no strong score.
