 "output": "Full-screen live-action scene from Fan (2016) from its very first frame: four shots joined by three hard cuts. A glossy 2010s Hindi-film look, anamorphic scope frame, rich saturated color: a superstar's live song-and-dance show at a lavish wedding banquet in a grand hall, warm amber candle and lamp light over the tables, cold white and blue stage beams, jets of white stage smoke, magenta flowers, red and gold silk.",

   "shot": 1,
   "camera": "static, high angle from a balcony looking down on the banquet floor, long lens; a dark out-of-focus pillar edge fills the right third of the frame, soft and blurred",
   "action": [
    "BEGINNING: alive from the first frame, round banquet tables with white cloths, glowing white dome lamps and pink flower centrepieces fill the floor; guests in red, pink and gold saris and dark suits sit with their backs to the camera, heads turned up toward the stage steps at the top of the frame; crystal lamp shades glow in the lower left corner.",
    "THEN: S2 walks slowly between the tables in the left-centre of the frame, from the back toward the camera, his hands low at his sides, his head turned down toward frame right, scanning the seated guests.",

   "action": [
    "BEGINNING: right after the cut, S1 dances in the centre-right of the frame in a wide stance, his right arm (screen left) thrown up high, his face lifted toward the lights; behind him two rows of backup dancers in black hit the same move in unison, arms raised.",
    "THEN: dozens of narrow white beam lights criss-cross over his head and flick on and off to the beat; tall LED screens behind the dancers glow with orange flame graphics.",
    "THEN: S1 pulls his raised arm down across his chest and bends his knees, shoulders pumping; the dancers behind him drop low with him in unison.",
    "END: S1 plants his silver boots wide, weight low, his right hand sweeping across his body, looking toward frame left; the smoke keeps rising on the right."

    "BEGINNING: right after the cut, a huge illuminated arch of carved white lace pattern frames the stage in the centre; inside it S1 in silver dances at centre front of more than twenty dancers in black; a giant red-orange circular mandala glows on the LED wall behind them.",
    "THEN: two white smoke jets shoot straight up on either side of S1, and blue-white beams sweep outward from the stage into the hall in a wide V.",
    "THEN: the dancers move in unison with him, arms swinging; on both sides of the arch tall red sail-shaped silk panels hang under glittering gold chandeliers, deep blue curtains behind.",
    "END: in the foreground the guests at round tables with pink flowers and white dome lamps sit still with their backs to the camera, women in red, pink and gold saris, all faces turned to the stage."

    "BEGINNING: right after the cut, three people behind the desk look up toward the camera: S4 on the left with both hands on the lighting console, S3 standing in the centre with the walkie-talkie raised to her mouth in her right hand and her left hand resting on the desk, S5 on the right holding the phone handset to his ear.",
    "THEN: S3 speaks into the walkie-talkie, her lips moving, her eyes up toward the stage; S4 keeps his fingers on the faders; S5 listens on the phone, head tipped.",
