Prompt

Use my Seedance 2.5 directorSkill to optimize the prompt a bit. The results feel more natural and real now, especially the previous blushing and expressions being too forced. Prompt: Duration: 20 seconds Aspect ratio: 9:16 vertical Style: Couple POV handheld smartphone live-action feel (Boyfriend POV), summer outdoor natural light, one continuous shot, absolutely no cuts, realistic “someone just recorded this” smartphone texture. Character: Main character 【Character reference lock】 The uploaded image {{Mixed 1}} is the only complete person visual reference for the female lead. From the first frame to the last frame, strictly keep the following from the reference image: - Identity - Facial features - Face shape - Skin tone - Age feel - Hairstyle - Hair color - Height - Body type - Body proportions - Outfits - Shoes - Overall personal aura/temperament. Do not change or redesign the character’s outfit on your own, and do not add any accessories that do not exist in the reference image. When facing forward, three-quarter view, looking down, looking up, speaking, smiling, walking closer, and when hands get close to the face, always keep the same face, the same body proportions, and the same outfit. Do not inherit the reference image’s background, composition, pose, text, or original lighting. 【Overall acting principles】 The female lead is not acting a short drama, and she does not know what her boyfriend is about to say. All reactions must happen like real people in everyday conversation: First hear it → short pause and understanding → facial expression starts to change → body reacts shortly after → some leftover after-feel from the previous expression → then enter the next state. Expression changes must not feel like switching expression stickers. Do not mechanically control eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth one by one. The face can show slight asymmetry, an incomplete smile, natural blinking, brief daydreaming, swallowing, breathing changes, and gaze avoidance for a moment. She mainly looks at her boyfriend behind the phone, not constantly and precisely into the phone camera. Between lines, keep real understanding time, breath, and natural small pauses without speaking. Shyness should not rely on obvious blushing. Do not generate sudden red cheeks, even blush, pink filter, or exaggerated heat/flushed effect. If natural light and emotion cause some color change on the face, allow only very slight, slow, uneven skin warming, or none at all. Shyness should be conveyed mainly through: - brief glance away - mouth-corner pressure that won’t fully hold - speaking speed slowing down - hand pausing briefly - body slightly turning aside - not daring to keep looking at the boyfriend 【Camera and framing principles】 The boyfriend holds the phone and films the female lead from a first-person POV. The boyfriend himself must never enter the frame; only keep near-distance off-screen voice. At the beginning, keep about 1.8–2 meters normal chatting distance. When the female lead walks closer, the boyfriend naturally steps back by half a step so the closest distance remains 1.2–1.5 meters, without an oppressive face-to-face close-up. Throughout the film, focus on full-body and upper-body shots. Never show an extreme close-up that fills the entire frame with the face. Opening: Full-body mid shot. The female lead appears fully in frame; the ground, her head above, and the trees behind are clearly visible. Middle: Upper-body shot from above the waist; keep ample space above her head. Closest: Half-body close-up from above the chest; head top, neck, both shoulders, and part of the chest must still be fully inside the frame, with breathing room on all sides. Framing changes can only be created by the real walking movement of the filmer and the female lead, slight hand-raising, and natural composition adjustment. No digital zoom, no sudden push-in, no lens jump, and no invisible cuts. The phone stays at normal 1× main camera perspective; do not use ultra-wide face distortion; do not use long-lens “sneaking” texture. Throughout, keep slight handheld micro-shake and small vertical up/down movement caused by the filmer’s breathing. When the boyfriend speaks or laughs, the phone may show very slight synchronized shaking. When following the person walking closer, allow one brief, slight autofocus hesitation, then naturally return to sharp focus. Do not use a stabilizer; no cinematic camera moves. 【Environment】 A tree-shaded path on a sunny afternoon. The female lead stands in dappled tree shadow; behind her is a row of green trees and the road surface lit by sunlight. Use real smartphone depth of field. Because there is distance between the person and background, distant leaves and road can naturally soften slightly, but must not create exaggerated creamy bokeh, artificial light flares, or portrait-mode edge errors. Leaves are moved by a light breeze. Dappled tree shadows slowly sweep across the ground and her outfit, occasionally gently passing near the face, but must not cover the main expressions. Preserve real skin texture, pores, subtle facial micro-movements, and natural skin tone variation. No subtitles, no filters, no beauty, no skin smoothing, no special effects, no background music. —————— 【00:00–00:04 | Full-body mid shot · suddenly being called】 This is only the first acting stage of the same continuous take; do not cut. Start with full-body mid shot. The female lead slightly turns her back to the camera, standing under tree shade, looking down as she casually adjusts her sleeve cuffs or checks something small in her hand. Her weight naturally rests on one leg, the other leg relaxed. She does not look at the camera in advance, nor does she pose for photos. Off-screen voice is very close, with a small amount of real smartphone microphone texture, like she was casually called on the spot, saying: “Hey, look here—smile.” She hears it and responds with a half-beat delay. First softly “Mm?” Then she lifts her head, moving her gaze from the hand to her boyfriend behind the phone. She does not immediately show exaggerated surprise. She just pauses slightly, like confirming: “Now are we filming?” She tries to cooperate with a smile, but it’s not very natural: Only slightly lifts the mouth corners, staying under one second. Her eyes still carry hesitation from being called. She looks open briefly, then returns gaze toward the boyfriend. Her chin slightly tightens. The action of adjusting her sleeve cuff stops; she doesn’t know whether to pose. She keeps this reluctant, shallow smile and asks softly: “…Like this?” Her tone is uncertain, with a slight upward lift at the end. After asking, her mouth corners naturally relax; do not suddenly change her face. 【00:04–00:07 | Upper-body · being caught on an old memory】 No cuts throughout. The boyfriend naturally walks one step forward while slightly raising the phone. The frame naturally changes from full-body mid shot to an upper-body shot above the waist; keep ample space above her head. Off-screen voice sounds like he’s holding back laughter: “Like the day I first met your mom.” She first shows a very short understanding pause. The shallow smile that hadn’t fully disappeared still remains at the corners of her mouth. Her gaze pauses first, like recalling what this line means. Then she realizes her boyfriend is teasing her. She looks up at him; her body leans forward a small half step, and her speaking pace naturally speeds up: “Can it be the same?! I was nervous then!” The tone is a familiar-person dispute after being teased about an old matter; volume rises a bit, but not to shouting. She can instinctively raise one hand to explain, but only half-extends it, then decides it’s unnecessary and lets it drop. Her expression should be mainly: a bit anxious, but also knowing he’s teasing her. Do not suddenly widen the eyes, do not force the cheeks to turn red, and do not play it like real anger. 【00:07–00:10 | Upper-body · can’t help laughing】 After the previous line, she was originally trying to keep a serious arguing face. First she presses her lips together, trying hard not to laugh. After a short pause, a hint of a smile leaks out from the corners. She lets out a light laugh through her nose; then she really laughs. The level of laughter remains everyday and restrained, not exaggerated burst laughter. The laugh can include a bit of interrupted breathing. She slightly lowers her head; her shoulders move lightly along with the laughter. One hand lifts toward her mouth instinctively, but does not fully cover her face. She turns her gaze aside a little, like she doesn’t want her boyfriend to see she’s already losing control. After a moment, she looks back at her boyfriend, still smiling, and says: “…You’re still bringing this up!” The line is slightly muddled because her smile hasn’t fully faded. After speaking, she raises her hand toward the phone direction and makes a very light pretend tap gesture. The palm only passes through the edge of the frame; it does not cover the whole lens and does not truly collide with the phone. The boyfriend instinctively avoids it. The image then produces a brief, subtle natural shake; then it returns to her. 【00:10–00:12 | Upper-body · the smile slowly stops】 Keep the same take throughout. The off-screen boyfriend suddenly stops the laughter tone, like he truly just discovered something: “Hey, don’t move—there’s something on your mouth corner.” Her smile cannot disappear instantly. She first stops the speaking action. The remaining laugh turns into a small puff of breath. The hand near her mouth slowly lowers. Her eyes shift from relaxed to puzzled. She looks at her boyfriend behind the phone, pausing for a moment as if judging whether he’s teasing again. Her mouth corner still retains a little trace from having just laughed. She asks softly: “Ah?” The expression contains both lingering smile and slight concern; do not suddenly turn into intense tension or fear. 【00:12–00:15 | Walk closer · half-body close-up · simple self-check】 She naturally walks one step closer toward the camera. The boyfriend instinctively steps back half a step and slightly adjusts the phone angle. The framing naturally becomes a half-body close-up above the chest. Her head top, neck, both shoulders, and part of the chest remain fully in frame. Never let the face fill the frame. When she walks closer, an auto-focus hesitation appears once, very brief; then it returns to sharp focus on her face. As she approaches, she asks: “Where is it?” She treats the phone as a temporary mirror. Her chin slightly tucks in; her eyes look near the camera. She lifts one hand and lightly wipes only one side of the mouth corner. After wiping, she looks down at her fingertips briefly. Then she gently presses her lips, and lifts her eyes back to her boyfriend, waiting for the answer. Do not continuously add too many checking actions. Do not generate repeated wiping, licking the mouth corner, puffing cheeks, pressing lips left/right, and quick eye turns at the same time. Keep actions simple and real, like a person really confirming whether there’s something on their mouth corner. 【00:15–00:17 | Understanding the flirty line · short pause】 The off-screen boyfriend slows down a bit; his voice is gentle and carries an unmistakable hidden smile: “…It’s stuck a little bit of cuteness.” After she hears it, she shows a real pause of about 0.6–0.8 seconds. The pause is not completely rigid, nor does the whole face suddenly become expressionless. Her hand wiping her mouth corner freezes in mid-air for an instant. Her eyes still look at her boyfriend; she blinks once lightly. Then her gaze briefly shifts to the side, like checking whether she actually heard such a cheesy line. Her mouth corner moves very slightly, but she immediately holds it back. She slowly exhales through her nose. The overall reaction should feel like: “She got teased by a sudden cheesy love line, and also a little embarrassed,” not like being scared or instantly blushing. 【00:17–00:18.5 | Very short fake disdain】 She lowers her hand from near her mouth. First she glances sideways at her boyfriend. She softly makes a “tsk.” Her head turns slightly away; her body steps back a small half step. Framing naturally returns to a complete upper-body shot. She can say in a very light tone: “You’re really so boring…” The tone already includes a laugh she can’t suppress, and it doesn’t sound angry. The fake disdain lasts only a short time. Do not strongly scrunch the nose, do not squint the eyes into exaggerated half-moons, and do not suddenly shrug or make a cartoon-like disgust expression. 【00:18.5–00:20 | Natural shyness ending】 After she says it, she no longer intentionally performs shyness. She first presses down the mouth corner, then slowly reveals a natural, slightly asymmetrical smile. She feels a bit shy to keep directly staring at her boyfriend. Her gaze first drops to the ground beside her for a short moment, then she lifts her eyes to look at him once. She may raise a hand lightly to touch her cheek side or tuck wind-blown hair behind her ear, but do not cover the face with the full palm. Her shoulders relax naturally. Her body turns slightly aside, keeping three-quarter face-to-camera. She lowers her voice a little and speaks with a tone that carries a resigned smile: “You’re really… so annoying.” “Annoying” is not real anger; it’s the mouth-versus-heart “I’m mad” after being teased into a laugh. After speaking, she laughs down into her head briefly. Then she looks up again and steals a glance at her boyfriend behind the phone. When their eyes meet, she doesn’t say more; she only suppresses the smile at the mouth corner and gently exhales. The frame stays on an upper-body shot: She slightly turns her body; her hand rests by the face side or ear; she looks at her boyfriend with a real, restrained smile that hasn’t fully opened. Do not freeze into a still photo. In the last moment, keep slight breathing, natural blinking, leaves moving, and a tiny handheld phone movement. 【Sound design】 Throughout, use only real smartphone in-sync audio. Keep: - Near-distance boyfriend off-screen voice - Female lead’s natural speaking voice - Light breathing from both people - Female lead’s short bursts of laughter she can’t stop - The rustling sound of leaves moved by wind - Very light distant ambient sound - Occasionally slight smartphone microphone wind noise. The boyfriend’s voice always comes from behind the lens; no off-screen voiceover studio-like recording texture. Female lead’s lines and mouth movements sync naturally. During speaking, allow slight word swallowing, small pauses, and a laughter-breath vibe; do not broadcast word-for-word. No subtitles. No background music. No sound effect enhancement. 【Final forced constraints】 The whole film must be a truly continuous one-take, no cuts. All time segments are continuous acting stages within the same take, not indicating cuts. Do not create hidden transitions by covering the lens with people. Do not suddenly change camera position, lighting, background, subject distance, or time. The shot order must be maintained: Full-body mid shot → Upper-body above waist → Half-body close-up above chest → Full upper-body ending. The closest framing must still fully include head top, both shoulders, neck, and part of the chest. Never show an extreme close-up with the face filling the frame. Strictly keep {{Mixed 1}}’s identity, facial features, face shape, hairstyle, hair color, body type, outfit, and temperament. The character’s expressions must be continuous, restrained, with understanding time and reaction time. Prohibited: - Suddenly red cheeks - Even pink blush - Shyness effects - Beauty smoothing - Plastic skin - Facial feature twitching - Mechanical expression switching - Exaggerated wide eyes - Exaggerated scrunched nose - Anime crescent eyes - Short-video style cutesy performance - Overly vigorous head shaking and swaying - A hand gesture for every line - Laughing loudly without reason - Face proportion changes - Face swap - Outfit changes - Extra fingers - Palm covering the whole frame - Background jump - Digital zoom - Lens teleport - Invisible cuts - Portrait-mode edge errors. Prioritize realism over executing every tiny detail perfectly. If a micro-expression cannot be completed naturally, reduce the action, but do not replace it with a more exaggerated expression.
