Use Image 1 for the vintage indoor pool, centered bench, architecture, lighting, and colors. Use Image 2 for the adult woman’s identity, dark teal athletic one-piece swimsuit, ivory swim cap, bare feet, and burgundy handbag. Do not reproduce the character sheet’s white background or multiple views.
20 seconds, 16:9. A locked-off master shot with one handbag-placement close-up insert. Exactly two cuts: into the close-up, then back to the original wide shot. Everything after returning to the wide shot plays continuously without further cuts or camera movement.
Photorealistic 35mm color-negative film texture: fine organic grain, gentle contrast, soft highlight roll-off, subtle halation around bright windows, restrained saturation, and natural skin tones. Muted mustard walls, creamy whites, and turquoise water.
The master camera is locked on a tripod across the pool, facing the central bench. Water fills the foreground, with the bench and dry walkway behind it. Preserve the exact framing, camera angle, and focal length when returning from the close-up. No zooms, pans, tilts, tracking, or dolly movements.
0–3s — Fixed wide shot:
Already wearing her swimsuit and ivory swim cap, the woman enters from screen left, barefoot, carrying the burgundy handbag by its short handle in her left hand. She walks to the central bench without sitting down. She brings the handbag just above the seat, preparing to set it down.
3–5s — Handbag-placement close-up:
Cut on the lowering action to a fixed close-up of her hands, the handbag, and the wooden bench seat. Her left hand holds the handle while her right hand steadies the bag’s side. She lowers the bag vertically onto the exact center of the bench seat, halfway between its two ends. Its flat base rests fully on the wood before she releases both hands and withdraws them.
The bag’s broad front panel and gold clasp face the camera throughout. Maintain this orientation before, during, and after contact. No twisting, flipping, spinning, tipping, or front-to-back reversal. Keep the entire bag visible, including its handle and base. Match the action continuously across both cuts without repeating the placement.
5–8s — Return to the original fixed wide shot:
Cut back to exactly the opening composition as her hands finish withdrawing. The handbag is already resting upright on the bench in the matching position and orientation. She turns and walks out of frame on screen right. From this moment through the end, remain in this single uninterrupted, completely stationary wide shot.
8–10s:
Barefoot steps continue offscreen right, followed by one distinct splash as she jumps into the pool beyond the right edge. Ripples spread into the visible water from that side. The camera remains fixed on the bench and foreground pool.
10–17s:
Wearing the same swimsuit and swim cap, she swims into the near foreground from screen right and crosses toward screen left using natural freestyle swimming. She exits completely through the left edge. The camera does not follow her.
17–20s:
Hold the unchanged wide composition after she has left. Her wake gradually softens across the foreground water. The burgundy handbag remains visible on the distant bench. End on this wide shot. No zoom, close-up, reframing, or additional cut.
Audio: Quiet indoor-pool ambience, synchronized barefoot steps, a soft bag-to-wood contact during the close-up, one offscreen entry splash, and natural swimming sounds with indoor reverberation. During the final wide hold, swimming sounds recede offscreen left while quiet pool ambience continues. No added transition effects, whooshes, musical stings, dialogue, or music.
Maintain one adult woman and one handbag. She wears the same swimwear throughout. Preserve her identity, architecture, lighting, bag geometry, and clasp placement across the close-up insert. Once placed, the handbag remains stationary on the bench. Exactly two clean cuts, continuous action, natural speed, and no camera movement.
