  "shot": {
    "composition": "Starts as a wide shot of the entire choir, then executes a single, continuous, slow push-in to a medium shot focusing on a few lead singers.",
    "camera_motion": "00:00-00:02: The camera is stable on the wide shot, establishing the scene. 00:02-00:08: A very slow, smooth, and deliberate push-in begins, gradually tightening the frame and moving the focus to a male and female lead singer at the center as they hit the song's emotional peak.",
    "camera": "ARRI Alexa 65 (for a large format sensor that creates a beautiful, shallow depth of field)",
    "lens": "A 100mm ARRI Signature Prime lens (a portrait-length lens to enhance the shallow depth of field and create a flattering, compressed look)",
    "frame_rate": "23.98 fps (for a classic cinematic feel)",
    "film_grain": "A very fine, subtle grain to add an organic, filmic texture."

  "subjects": {
    "choir": {
      "description": "A mixed-gender a cappella choir of approximately 16 young adults, all appearing to be in their early-to-mid 20s. The group is diverse and professional.",
      "wardrobe": "Coordinated, dark, smart-casual attire. Men might wear dark button-down shirts or turtlenecks with dark trousers. Women might wear elegant dark blouses or dresses. The colors are muted (e.g., black, charcoal gray, navy blue, deep burgundy).",
      "behaviour": "Each singer holds a simple black notebook or folder. They are not reading from it, but holding it professionally. They sing with intense, soulful, and emotional expressions. As the song reaches its crescendo from 00:05 onwards, their eyes close with passion, their posture straightens, and their mouths open wider to project the final, powerful, sustained notes."

  "scene": {
    "location": "A grand, prestigious concert hall stage, reminiscent of the main stage at Carnegie Hall or a similar venue in a city like Chicago.",
    "time_of_day": "Friday, August 8, 2025, at 8:45 PM CDT, during a live performance.",
    "environment": "The stage is backed by dark, rich, polished wood paneling that absorbs the light, creating a dark, intimate backdrop. The stage floor is also dark, polished wood, reflecting the warm spotlights.",
    "atmospheric_elements": "The air is clear. A very subtle amount of theatrical haze might be present to catch the light beams, but it is not a smoky or foggy scene."
  },
  "visual_details": {
    "action": "The primary action is the singers' emotional performance. The subtle rise and fall of their chests as they breathe, the tensing of muscles in their necks as they sing powerfully, and the focused, passionate expressions are key details.",
    "props": "Identical black notebooks or music folders held by each singer.",
    "effects": "A very shallow depth of field is crucial. As the camera pushes in, only the lead two or three singers should be in tack-sharp focus. The singers in the rows behind them should fall off into a soft, pleasing, beautiful blur. The warm spotlights create a strong, dramatic rim light on the singers' hair and shoulders."
  },
  "cinematography": {
    "lighting": "Dramatic, theatrical, low-key lighting. Several warm, golden spotlights from above and the sides create a sculpted, Rembrandt-like effect on the singers' faces, casting long shadows on the stage behind them.",
    "tone": "Emotional, powerful, intimate, soulful, and highly cinematic. A moment of pure, unified human expression.",
    "color_grading": "A warm, rich, high-contrast color palette. Dominated by warm golden yellows from the lights, the deep browns of the wood paneling, and the dark, muted tones of the attire. Skin tones appear warm and rich."
  },
  "audio_cues": {
    "music": "The sound is exclusively the choir's a cappella performance. It should be a complex, multi-part harmony.",
    "sound_effects": "The only sound is the rich, layered, and reverberant sound of human voices. The performance builds from a complex harmony to a powerful, sustained crescendo note. A female soprano might hold a soaring high note while the tenors, altos, and basses provide a powerful, unified chord underneath. The audio should have a natural hall reverb."

    "lip_sync_priority": "ABSOLUTE HIGHEST PRIORITY. While there are no specific lyrics, the mouth shapes ('Oohs', 'Aahs') and movements of all singers must be perfectly synchronized with the audio track. The visual performance must convincingly match the sound of a professional choir.",
    "animation_priority": "CRUCIAL: All 16 singer models must remain stable and not morph, flicker, or change features, especially during the slow camera push-in. Their subtle changes in expression must be rendered with high fidelity.",
    "depth_of_field_priority": "The shallow depth of field effect is a core part of the visual style. The focus must be intentionally limited to the front row of singers in the final shot, with the background singers being artistically and smoothly blurred.",
    "avoid": [
      "Flat, even, or bright lighting; the scene must be dramatic and shadowy.",
      "All singers being in sharp focus at the end; the shallow depth of field is essential.",
      "Any morphing or glitching of the individual singers.",
      "The singers looking bored or unemotional; their intense expressions are key."
