Werewolf Film

{
 "output": "Full-screen live-action shot from The Wolfman (2010), from its very first frame: one continuous locked-off shot. Gothic Victorian period horror on 35mm with fine grain, an asylum lecture theater at night, dim soft light from above, sickly pale skin with a sheen of sweat, a desaturated palette of olive green, leather brown and dirty ivory. The man's face stays fully human the whole time: a sweating man in agony at the moment before the change.",
 "characters": {
  "S1": {
   "name": "Lawrence Talbot, played by Benicio del Toro",
   "look": "man in his forties, dark damp tousled hair falling onto his forehead, heavy dark brows, pale clammy skin, dark stubble, a line of small scabbed cuts down the bridge of his nose; a cream cloth wrap around his neck under a thick brown leather strap buckled across his throat; a coarse gray-brown tweed coat pinned by two broad brown leather belts with iron buckles crossing his chest, strapping him into a high-backed wooden chair",
   "voice": "silent; only ragged breathing"
  },
  "S2": {
   "name": "an asylum attendant",
   "look": "man in a long black buttoned coat standing behind S1; his head and shoulders are cut off by the top edge of the frame, so only his dark torso and his hands clasped in front of his waist are visible",
   "voice": "silent"

 "shots": [
  {
   "shot": 1,
   "camera": "locked-off, lens a little below S1's eye level, three-quarter front view, medium close-up: S1's tipped-back head and strapped chest fill the right two-thirds of the frame, his face right of centre; S2 stands soft-focus in the background at the left third; behind them a cream glazed-brick dado up to chest height, a dark olive wall above and a dark wooden door frame at the right edge; shallow focus on S1; the camera never moves, S1's face grows huge only because he lurches toward the lens",
   "action": [
    "BEGINNING: alive from the first frame, S1 slumps with the back of his head pressed against the chair back, face tipped up and turned slightly toward the right side of the frame, eyes closed, mouth hanging open; S2 stands motionless at the left, hands clasped.",
    "THEN: S1's head rolls upright while staying tipped back; his eyelids lift halfway and his eyes roll up until mostly the whites show, brows raised, mouth open, taking shallow trembling breaths.",
    "THEN: he holds that dazed upward stare, head quivering slightly against the chair, the belts keeping his shoulders and chest pinned; S2 does not move at all.",
    "THEN: his chin lifts higher and his head presses back hard, his mouth stretching wide in a gasp, his eyes squeezing almost shut.",
    "THEN: suddenly he wrenches his head forward and down toward the lens, turning it toward the left side of the frame, straining against the strap at his throat.",
    "END: his face fills most of the frame in extreme close-up, three-quarter profile turned to the left side of the frame, eyes now open and looking down toward the lower left, brow knotted, lips parted, breathing hard; the room behind him is a soft blur."

   "voice": "silence: nobody speaks in this shot, no voice at all"
  }
 ],
 "sound": {
  "ambience": "the hushed room tone of a large hall, the creak of leather straps and the wooden chair as he strains, his ragged breathing",
  "speech": "no words in this video; the only human sounds are breaths and movement",
  "never_spoken": "no narration and no voice-over: the descriptions, performance notes and step words of this prompt are never spoken aloud",
  "music": "a film score under the scene, always below the voices: low tense strings with a slow heavy pulse that swells as he lurches forward",
  "subtitles": "none"
