  "shot": {
    "composition": "A single, continuous, locked-off extreme wide shot. The camera is positioned at a high altitude, as if from the top of another skyscraper, looking out horizontally across the sky.",
    "camera_motion": "None. The camera is completely static on a tripod, allowing the majesty of the creatures' movement to be the sole focus.",
    "camera": "Simulated IMAX Film Camera (for maximum resolution and an epic sense of scale)",
    "lens": "A 24mm wide-angle prime lens to capture the vastness of the sky and all the subjects within it.",
    "frame_rate": "23.98 fps (for a grand, cinematic feel)",
    "film_grain": "No film grain; the image should be perfectly clean and sharp."

  "subjects": {
    "whale": {
      "description": "A massive, photorealistic Blue Whale, rendered with immense detail. It is the central figure of the spectacle.",
      "behaviour": "It drifts slowly and majestically from left to right across the frame. At 00:03, it lets out a deep, powerful, and loud echoing call that is the only sound in the scene. Its movement is slow, weighty, and serene."
    },
    "sea_creatures": {
      "description": "A large, diverse entourage of sea life, all rendered photorealistically. It is crucial that all of the following creatures are present in the shot: Great White Sharks, Bottlenose Dolphins, Hammerhead Sharks, Orcas, giant Manta Rays, bioluminescent Electric Eels, and a bloom of glowing Jellyfish.",
      "behaviour": "All creatures are in constant, graceful, and dynamic motion. They swim in loose, orbiting formations around the central Blue Whale, weaving between each other as if in a silent, grand ballet. Dolphins might be seen doing gentle barrel rolls. Manta rays glide with flowing movements. None of the creatures are static; the sky is full of life."

  "scene": {
    "location": "The open sky above Midtown Manhattan, New York City.",
    "time_of_day": "Wednesday, August 6, 2025, at 2:00 PM EDT.",
    "environment": "The sky is a bright, clear blue, filled with large, fluffy, white cumulus clouds that drift slowly. The very tops of iconic skyscrapers (like the Empire State Building or Chrysler Building) are visible at the bottom of the frame, grounding the surreal scene in a real location.",
    "atmospheric_elements": "The air is exceptionally clear and pollution-free, allowing for sharp, long-distance visibility."
  },
  "visual_details": {
    "action": "The sunlight glints off the wet-looking skin of the whale, dolphins, and sharks. The school of jellyfish pulses with a soft, internal, translucent light. The electric eels give off subtle, crackling sparks of blue electricity along their bodies.",
    "props": "The tops of skyscrapers, fluffy clouds.",
    "effects": "The sea creatures have a very subtle refractive shimmer around their bodies, as if they are displacing the air like water. This enhances the dreamlike, surreal effect without making them look like ghosts."
  },
  "cinematography": {
    "lighting": "Bright, clear, high-key afternoon sunlight. The sun illuminates the creatures from above and to the side, creating realistic highlights and soft shadows on their bodies.",
    "tone": "Surreal, majestic, awe-inspiring, and strangely peaceful. A dreamlike spectacle.",
    "color_grading": "A clean, vibrant, and photorealistic palette. The blues of the sky are deep and saturated, the whites of the clouds are brilliant, and the colors of the sea creatures are natural and vivid."

  "audio_cues": {
    "music": null,
    "ambient": "Complete silence, to emphasize the surreal, dreamlike nature of the scene and the power of the whale's call.",
    "sound_effects": "The only sound in the entire 8-second clip is the single, deep, powerful, loud, and echoing whale song that begins at 00:03 and fades out slowly by the end of the shot. There are no other ambient or creature sounds."

    "animation_priority": "CRUCIAL: All specified sea creatures (sharks, dolphins, orcas, hammerheads, eels, manta rays, jellyfish) must be present and animated with continuous, fluid motion. The scene must feel dynamic and full of life, not like a static image. The swimming animations must be realistic, as if they are in water.",
    "realism_note": "All creatures and the cityscape must be photorealistic. The surrealism comes from the impossible concept, not a cartoonish or fantastical art style.",
