Model: Seedance 2.0 Mini
Duration: Strictly 15 seconds
Aspect Ratio: 16:9 Landscape
Structure: Three continuous, clear shots with different narrative functions
I. Prompt | Overall Style and Creative Direction
Cinematic realistic texture, pure ancient Chinese Xianxia aesthetics.
Core elements:
Psychological suspense
Restrained social satire
Precise micro-acting
High-level martial arts scene scheduling
Adopt:
Natural volumetric lighting
Realistic skin texture
Delicate silk movement
Cinematic depth of field
Creative Background
Inspired by real-world controversies regarding tampered exam scores, but the plot is completely reconstructed as a fictional ancient sect sword trial.
II. Core Plot and Twist
Everyone assumes the junior sister who failed lacks ability, but the problem lies with the exam itself.
Others can buy fake qualifications to pass, while she chooses to face her true level.
Three-layer Narrative Progression
Layer 1: Public Humiliation
150 disciples participate in the sword trial; only the junior sister fails.
Layer 2: Institutional Reversal
The examiner offers to modify results for spirit stones, implying others' qualifications were also tampered with.
Layer 3: Active Choice
The junior sister refuses to buy qualification, abandoning false certificates to continue practicing swords.
Core Emotions
First half: Humiliation, confusion, suppression
Middle: Shock, cognitive reversal
Second half: Clarity, restraint, re-determination

Other characters serve only necessary narrative functions.
IV. Environment DNA and Spatial Planning
All newly uploaded background/location reference images determine the physical world.
Scene Locking
Preserve recognizable features from references:
Terrain
Main architectural spatial relationships
Spatial scale
Materials
Weather
Vegetation
Lighting
Air depth
Naturally place a simple ancient sect assessment desk based on existing space.
Do not reset the world arbitrarily.
Living Background Principle
Environment remains alive:
Breeze flows naturally
Clouds change continuously
Vegetation sways naturally
Distant figures maintain subtle activity
Sleeves move with character actions and natural wind
Spatial ambient sound persists
Narrative Neutrality
Background remains narratively neutral.
Must not actively influence:
Exam results
Examiner behavior
Character choices
Plot twists
V. 15-Second Complete Storyboard Structure
0-5s | Shot 1: Wide Shot | Public Humiliation, Establish Suspense
Camera Design
Slow push-in from medium-long shot of the sword trial site.
Space and Character Relations
An elder examiner stands by the assessment desk.
Several passed disciples stand on one side holding red-stamped qualification documents.
The junior sister stands alone on the other side.
The senior sister stands diagonally behind her.
Action and Dialogue
The examiner announces publicly:
[Examiner] "Out of 150 people, only you failed."
Surrounding disciples show slight murmurs and suppressed laughter.
The junior sister does not defend herself, slowly lowering her eyes.
The senior sister remains calm, not immediately stepping forward.
Visual Contrast
Form distinct contrast through:
Red-stamped qualification documents in other disciples' hands
The junior sister's empty hands
Shot 1 Narrative Goal
Must make viewers naturally question:
Why did only she fail?
5-10s | Shot 2: Medium Close-Up | From Failure to Institutional Reversal
Continuity Requirements
Maintain continuity of:
Character identities
Props
Spatial positions
Examiner's covert actions
Seeing attention shift, the examiner leans slightly down.
He retrieves an unstamped qualification document from under the desk, quietly pushing it toward the junior sister.
Dialogue
Examiner whispers:
[Examiner] "Ten spirit stones, I'll fix it for you."
The junior sister looks up sharply.
Junior Sister's Reaction
She doesn't get angry immediately.
First looks at the red-stamped documents in others' hands, then asks slowly:
[Junior Sister] "Did they cheat too?"
The examiner doesn't answer.
Only gives a very light, unmistakable nod.
Camera and Performance
Camera stays on the junior sister's face.
Her true shock isn't failing the exam.
It's realizing those enviable scores might not be earned by skill.
Information Reversal Principle
At this point:
No flashbacks needed
No explanation of cheating process needed
The same red-stamped documents, examiner's hint, and that nod are enough to complete the information reversal.
10-15s | Shot 3: Character Close-Up | Active Choice, Emotional Landing
Key Action 1: Refusing Qualification
The junior sister's hand slowly reaches for the qualification document on the desk.
Just before fingertips touch the paper, she stops.
Then, she gently pushes the document back toward the examiner.
Performance Restrictions
No:
Throwing things
Drawing sword threats
Shouting accusations
Core Dialogue
Looking at the examiner, she only asks:
[Junior Sister] "When demons come, who will fix it for me?"
The examiner freezes, speechless for the first time.
Key Action 2: Senior Sister Steps In
The senior sister steps forward half a step from behind the junior sister, coming to her side.
The senior sister does NOT:
Declare she is truly first
Demand a passing rank for her
Only lightly touches the scabbard at the junior sister's waist with her fingertip.
Calmly says:
[Senior Sister] "Let's go, practice swords."
Junior Sister's Emotional Change
The junior sister looks up at her.
Her tense expression gradually relaxes.
She turns and leaves the assessment desk with the senior sister.
Final Image and Emotional Resonance
Camera retains a brief final emotional resonance:
The examiner still stands in place
The purchasable qualification document on the desk remains unclaimed
Final Narrative Landing
She didn't suddenly pass the exam, nor receive hidden rewards.
She is still the one who failed the sword trial.
But she finally knows what to do next.

Image 1 is the first frame of the video; the scene starts from Image 1, with scene, composition, lighting, clothing, props, and their positions all based on Image 1.
Image 2 is the character reference, used only to lock in the person's face, facial proportions, face shape, and hair color. Do not use the gray background, clothing, or three-view layout from Image 2.

Create a 30-second, hyper-realistic early 2000s home DV recording capturing a young East Asian woman spending a muggy summer afternoon in an old residential apartment bedroom. Pure observational perspective, no dialogue, no narrative arc, just the rhythm of daily life.

Character
Appearance matches Image 2; clothing and hairstyle match Image 1: bare-faced, loose bun on top of head, light blue loose T-shirt, white cotton shorts, barefoot. Maintain consistent face, clothing, hairstyle, and body shape throughout.

Action Timeline (each action performed once, no repetition)
00:00–00:06 — She lies half-reclined against a pillow, slowly fanning herself with the fan from Image 1 in her right hand, staring at the ceiling blankly, occasionally blinking.
00:06–00:11 — She stops fanning, places the fan on the bamboo mat beside her, pushes up to sit on the bed, and turns toward the fan on the bedside stool.
00:11–00:16 — She picks up the soda bottle from the stool, takes a sip through the straw, then puts the bottle back in its original spot.
00:16–00:22 — She leans close to the front of the fan, opens her mouth, and drags out a long "Ah—" into the blades; the sound trembles against the spinning blades, stray hairs blown by the wind. Keep a safe distance between face and blades, do not touch the fan.
00:22–00:26 — She laughs at herself, briefly glances back at the camera with a shy smile, saying nothing.
00:26–00:30 — She falls backward onto the pillow, covers her face with the fan, and stays still. The fan continues to spin, then cut to black.

Consistency
Positions of fan, soda bottle, fan unit, and stool remain constant; no objects appear or disappear spontaneously. Only one fan and one soda bottle in the frame; fan style identical to Image 1. Fan orientation fixed, no oscillation; blade shape stable. Bamboo curtain light/shadow stripes stable. Actions proceed in real-time pace, unhurried.

Cinematography & Quality
Fixed camera angle matching Image 1; no movement, zoom, or pan throughout. Light source is only natural afternoon light through bamboo curtains, slightly overexposed. DV noise, slight color shift, vignette, occasional autofocus breathing. Orange date stamp "2003 08 02" in bottom right corner remains fixed throughout.

Audio
Ambient sounds dominate: hum of fan, soft rustle of fanning, cicadas outside window, distant bicycle bell, creaking of bamboo mat under pressure, sound of drinking soda through straw. Only human voices are the trembling "Ah—" directed at the fan and a light laugh. No background music.

Prohibited
No subtitles, no soundtrack, no slow motion, no cinematic color grading, no camera moves, no shallow depth of field, no gray studio background, no text or brand logos (except date stamp). 30s, 720p

Static camera framed through a doorway looking into an empty bedroom with white paneled walls, crown molding and a bright window. A man in a black t-shirt, black cap and work gloves enters carrying a red bucket, pours glossy red epoxy onto the gray concrete floor and spreads it evenly with a wide floor squeegee until the entire floor gleams deep red. He then pours white liquid from a white bucket into several round puddles across the red surface; the white pigment blooms and spreads organically into intricate fractal lightning-like branches that stretch across the whole floor. Next he pours a clear topcoat and pulls it smooth with the squeegee, then buffs the surface with a rotary floor polishing machine until mirror-glossy. Fast time-lapse follows: workers carry in a white upholstered bed with red pillows, nightstands, red patterned curtains, matching red tree-branch artwork and table lamps. Final shot holds on the finished luxury bedroom: brilliant red floor with white fractal veins reflecting the window, crisp white bedding with red accents, symmetrical decor, soft natural daylight, realistic home renovation video style, smooth motion, high detail.

A bearded man in denim overalls and yellow gloves rakes a huge mound of orange marigold flowers on the concrete floor of an empty white room with a large window overlooking green trees, spreading the blossoms into a flat even layer covering the whole floor. A blonde woman in red overalls and black rubber boots pours thick white epoxy resin from a white bucket over the flowers, then rakes the liquid outward until the entire floor is coated in glossy resin with marigolds suspended inside. A worker in a yellow high-visibility vest polishes the cured floor with a rotary buffer machine, creating a mirror-smooth transparent surface with bright orange flowers embedded beneath. Two women in black business suits carry in a light wooden bed frame, place a mattress on it, dress the bed with cream bedding, pillows and a small nightstand with a lamp, then exit. The final shot reveals the finished bedroom: a neatly made bed standing on a stunning mirror-glossy floor filled with thousands of preserved orange marigolds under clear resin, soft sunlight streaming through the window. Satisfying renovation process video, photorealistic style, smooth cinematic camera, warm natural lighting.

Create a 10-second ultra-realistic cinematic advertisement featuring a Glaze2Glow Cherry Soda Lip Serum in a dreamy pink studio with glossy satin fabric, sparkling glass props, and fresh red cherries. Start with a centered hero shot of the burgundy lip serum standing on a transparent acrylic platform, decorated with a red-and-white gingham bow and a cute cherry charm. Slowly push the camera toward the product, highlighting its elegant packaging and shiny metallic applicator. Transition into extreme macro close-ups of the dangling cherry charm, glossy red beads, and delicate green leaves, capturing every tiny detail. Show the silver applicator dispensing a thick, translucent cherry-red serum that drips slowly into a glossy pool. Capture the serum’s smooth texture, wet shine, and beautiful reflections under soft studio lighting. Cut to a close-up of naturally full lips as the serum is gently applied, leaving them moisturized, plump-looking, and intensely glossy. Finish with a luxurious product shot resting on pink satin beside sparkling glassware and fresh cherries, then return to the original upright hero composition. Use smooth camera movements, shallow depth of field, soft pink highlights, realistic textures, premium beauty-commercial aesthetics, and consistent product design throughout, with no extra text or distorted packaging.
