An American woman in her mid twenties, ordinary and relatable rather than model-pretty, light brown shoulder-length wavy hair that is a bit messy, faint freckles, no makeup, slightly puffy tired eyes with visible dark circles. She wears an oversized faded sage-green hoodie. A front-camera selfie held at arm's length in the driver's seat of a parked car, the phone held slightly above eye level and a little to her right, her head turned a few degrees toward the window. She looks just off the lens mid-sentence, tired and honest, lips slightly parted. Framed from chest to just above the head, head in the upper half. Inside a slightly worn grey car interior, seatbelt across her, overcast daylight through the side window, a parking lot faintly visible outside. Palette: muted grey, sage and skin tones. ======================================================================== IMAGE M1 mirror selfie, full body ======================================================================== A photograph captured as a single frame from a video actually shot on an iPhone, with the texture of real iPhone footage.

Framed head to feet, slightly off-centre, phone camera tilted a little. A small messy bedroom: unmade bed behind her, a dresser with three empty coffee cups and a phone charger, grey morning light through blinds. ======================================================================== IMAGE S2 bare face ======================================================================== A photograph captured as a single frame from a video actually shot on an iPhone, with the texture of real iPhone footage.

Sitting on a bedroom floor against the bed, a framed poster edge and white wall behind her, dim afternoon light. ======================================================================== IMAGE S4 eye close up ======================================================================== A photograph captured as a single frame from a video actually shot on an iPhone, with the texture of real iPhone footage.

The image is coherent and free of visual artifacts. Point of view from the woman lying in bed at night: her own hand holds a phone upright in front of the camera, fingers and thumb natural and correct, a few freckles on the hand. The phone screen shows exactly the app screen in [reference]: dark navy background, a glowing lavender breathing circle with the words breathe in, lights out in 12 min, and a pale yellow button. The screen is sharp and readable. Behind the phone, out of focus only slightly: dark bedroom, rumpled duvet, a small warm bedside lamp on the right. The screen is the brightest thing in the frame. ======================================================================== VIDEO V1 talking clip, 4 s, first frame = A1 ======================================================================== Create a realistic vertical phone-shot talking-head video. [reference] is the visible speaker and scene reference. Preserve the person's identity, face, outfit, setting, lighting, lens feel, and broad composition. Deliver the supplied script exactly in order with clear lip-sync. The visible person speaks every line. Do not rewrite, summarize, add, remove, or reorder words. CAMERA: handheld front-camera selfie held at arm's length, slight natural hand sway, no zoom. PERFORMANCE: quiet, worn-out and honest, like confessing to a friend. The moment the clip begins she is already speaking. GESTURE: minimal; a small exhausted head shake on "genuinely", eyes drift away from the lens on "sleep". Keep face, skin texture, lighting, and motion photoreal and stable. Add no subtitles, captions, labels, logos, UI text, floating words, or other readable on-screen text. Close-mic car audio, faint outside traffic, no music. SCRIPT TO DELIVER: "I genuinely don't remember what sleep feels like." PERFORMANCE AND ACTION DIRECTION: American woman in her mid twenties, soft tired voice, slightly raspy, slow, a small sigh before she speaks. ======================================================================== VIDEO motion clip for M1, 4 s, first frame = the M1 still ======================================================================== [reference] is the first frame.
