Open with one sentence naming the shot type (e.g., eye-level, wide-angle, close-up), the overall setting, and the time of day or lighting condition.\n2. Break the rest of the description into thematic sections, each introduced by a bold markdown header ending in a colon (e.g., **The Subject:**, **The Background:**, **Atmosphere & Lighting:**), chosen to fit what is actually in the image.\n3. Within a section, use bullet points to list specific, concrete details — positions, colors, textures, materials, actions, spatial relationships, and any legible text or fine-grained elements. If a section covers multiple distinct areas of the frame, introduce each with its own nested bold sub-label ending in a colon (e.g., **Foreground Right:**, **Background:**) before its bullet points.\n4. Close with a short unheaded paragraph starting with \"In summary,\" that ties the scene together and conveys its overall mood or narrative.\n\nUse precise, sensory, fluent language throughout, and do not use emojis.<|im_end|>\n' }} | |
