Adapt the subject, keep the camera. These reusable prompts are based on the examples; your results will vary.
REFERENCE INPUT
The attached character sheet is the identity and original clothing reference for the main subject. Depict that same person once, preserving their face, apparent age, hairstyle, proportions, clothing, footwear, and accessories wherever visible. The scene determines their pose and expression. Do not reproduce the sheet's three-person layout, white background, studio lighting, or color treatment. A hidden face stays hidden and a distant figure stays small.

Create one photorealistic 16:9 cinematic film still, edge to edge.

SUBJECT
Choose the main subject's appearance and clothing, or optionally attach an identity reference. When a reference is supplied, preserve that person's identity and original outfit without copying its background or layout. The scene and camera placement below take priority over showing facial detail.

SCENE AND CAMERA
In a disused asylum treatment corridor at night, place the camera on the terrazzo floor, lens 6 cm above the ground, immediately beside one wheel of an abandoned hospital gurney. Use a 24mm rectilinear lens with a deliberate 18-degree clockwise camera roll. The entire architecture shares this single tilted horizon; do not bend walls or change gravity. A large rubber caster, rusted fork, and a short section of the gurney's lower frame dominate the near-left foreground.

Six meters farther down the corridor, the subject has stopped beneath the one functioning ceiling fixture. Their complete figure is visible through the open space to the right of the wheel, with their feet clearly planted on the floor. One hand holds a ring of ordinary keys. Their head is turned toward a half-open treatment-room door at frame right, while their shoulders still face along the corridor. No one is visible inside the room.

A cold ceiling fluorescent gives the central corridor a steel-blue cast without turning skin green. A small warm utility lamp inside the treatment room spills a narrow golden wedge across the floor and reveals the door's thickness. Let the foreground wheel remain dark with readable rubber and metal texture; do not spotlight it. Focus on the subject and middle-distance door, with the nearby caster mildly soft. Repeating rails and floor seams create a low, unstable vanishing point. The gurney is empty, its sheet hanging motionless. Restrained suspense, no blood, restraints, patient bodies, motion streaks, or surveillance graphics.

Photographic take 01: capture the primary interpretation exactly as described, preserving the specified camera geometry, action, and light sources.

COLOR GRADE
Apply a rich, naturalistic cinematic grade: deep steel-to-slate blues, luminous golden accents, grounded olive greens and warm stone neutrals where those colors occur. Preserve the scene's light sources and time of day, natural skin tones and recognizable garment colors. Keep firm contrast, deep readable blacks, detailed midtones, controlled bright highlights and crisp photographic texture. Use only subtle grain. Avoid washed blacks, artificial teal-orange separation, excessive HDR, plastic skin, heavy grain, broad bloom and diffusion haze.

IMAGE CONSTRAINTS
No writing, letters, numbers, signage, branding, logos, labels, watermarks or captions anywhere in the image. Keep relevant surfaces plain and unlettered. One separate photograph only; no border, montage, split screen or contact sheet.
