Expression, Motion, Light: A Different Class from 2.0 · Feminine Theme

English prompt

Use reference image 1 for the lead. Her look must stay identical to image 1 for the entire video. Ignore any UI or text in the image. The video has exactly one lead. Every shot is built around her. Other people appear only briefly as background figures, ghostly audience members or blurred dancers. Every face except the lead's must be blurred, or hidden behind curtains, candelabra, hat brims, veils, backlight or foreground objects. No second face may ever be readable. No second lead. Style: gothic dark female vocal music video, live-action cinematic. Ruin romance, Victorian mourning aesthetic, cold mystery. Locations run from rain-soaked stone steps to a flooded opera house hall, a red velvet stage, and a corridor of shattered mirrors. Rain streaks, candle flame, drifting dust, volumetric light, light film grain, suspended particles in the air. Palette: ink black, cold stone grey, dark wine red, moon white. The only warm light source is candle flame and chandeliers. The image must be high contrast. Blacks crushed to full black, highlights with a visible source. No flat washed-out grey image. LIGHTING BAN, HIGHEST PRIORITY: lens flares, bokeh orbs, glare and out-of-focus foreground objects may only appear at the edges of frame or behind the subject. At no point may any of them cover, obstruct or land on the lead's face. Her features stay clearly readable throughout. CAMERA: the camera never stops. Every beat has a clear, obvious displacement. No locked-off shots, no tripod. Close-ups, medium, wide, all of them, cut often but naturally. Transitions happen through a curtain sweeping past, a rain sheet, candle flame blowing out the exposure, a mirror reflection, or the subject walking through frame. Never soften a camera move with words like "slight" or "slow". MUSIC, GLOBAL: gothic dark female pop, 3/4 dark waltz, around 86 BPM. Cello, harpsichord, deep heartbeat drum, female lead vocal, wordless female choir bed. Young female voice, cold and airy with a suppressed vibrato. English lyrics with a clear hook. Backing track loud, full low end, clear drums. 0-5s [MUSIC: rain, distant thunder and one isolated sustained cello note. No vocal, no drums.] Rain at night on the wide stone steps of an abandoned opera house. The lead stands alone halfway up, her black gothic dress soaked, rain streaking through the porch light behind her. Camera starts on an extreme wide from above, dives down along the steps, pushes in to a medium, and settles as she lifts her chin. Background: two blurred figures under black umbrellas walk up the steps from the left and right edges, backs to camera, never turning around. No lyrics, no lip sync. 5-10s [MUSIC: heartbeat drum and harpsichord enter together, the waltz locks in, verse begins.] Cut inside the hall. A sheet of standing water on the floor reflects the broken chandeliers above. She walks through it, each step throwing ripples. Camera tracks sideways low over the water surface, catches the reflection first, then tilts up to a close-up of her face, then cuts to her fingertips dragging along a wet stone column. Background: three figures with blurred faces sit motionless in the audience seats, backs to camera,
