Universal Prompt Prompt:
Shot Type: Close-Up. The camera is positioned directly in front of the subject, capturing the upper body and face in detail. The frame is tightly focused on the mask and the partially visible face behind it, creating an intimate and intense visual. Composition Techniques: Rule of Thirds, Asymmetry. The white mask is positioned slightly off-center, occupying the left side of the frame. This asymmetrical placement creates visual interest and tension. The subject's visible eye aligns with the upper-right intersection point of the rule of thirds grid, drawing the viewer's attention. Lighting: The scene employs high-contrast, dramatic lighting reminiscent of film noir. A strong key light appears to be coming from the left side, casting deep shadows on the right. This creates a chiaroscuro effect, emphasizing the mask's contours and the subject's facial features. The stark lighting accentuates the texture of the mask and the softness of the skin, creating a compelling interplay between light and shadow. Color Palette: Black, White, Gray. The monochromatic palette intensifies the dramatic contrast. The pure white of the mask stands out starkly against the deep blacks of the background and the subject's clothing. Subtle gradations of gray in the skin tones and shadows add depth and dimension to the image. Mood and Emotion: Mysterious, Tense, Melancholic. The high contrast and concealment of part of the face create a sense of mystery and unease. The expressionless mask juxtaposed with the glimpse of a human face behind it evokes a feeling of hidden emotions and inner conflict. Style: Film Noir, Cinematic. The dramatic lighting, high contrast, and mysterious atmosphere are hallmarks of the film noir style. The composition and framing give the image a cinematic quality, as if it were a still from a psychological thriller. Location and Setting: The setting appears to be a dark, undefined space. The lack of background detail focuses all attention on the subject and the mask, creating a sense of isolation and introspection. The darkness surrounding the figure suggests a void or an abstract space, emphasizing the psychological nature of the image. Character Placement: The subject is positioned centrally in the frame, facing directly towards the camera. Their right hand holds the white mask up to the left side of their face, covering everything except for the right eye and a portion of the right cheek and mouth. The subject's visible eye is open, gazing directly at the viewer with an intense, mysterious expression. The hair is pulled back, with a few stray strands visible at the top of the frame, adding a touch of organic texture to the otherwise stark composition. The mask is held at a slight angle, revealing a sliver of the subject's real face behind it. This careful positioning creates a powerful visual metaphor for duality and the concept of hidden identities. The contrast between the smooth, featureless mask and the expressive human eye creates a compelling tension within the frame. The subject's visible skin has a soft, luminous quality that contrasts with the hard, matte surface of the mask. This textural difference further emphasizes the distinction between the artificial facade and the living person behind it. The precise positioning of the mask, held just far enough away from the face to cast a subtle shadow, adds depth and dimensionality to the image. This shadow play reinforces the theme of layers and hidden truths. Every element in this carefully composed image contributes to its overall impact, from the precise angle of the mask to the intensity of the gaze, creating a visually striking and psychologically charged portrait.

Prompt for Flux
Close-Up shot of a subject, with the camera focused directly on the upper body and face, capturing intense details. The composition follows the Rule of Thirds, where the white mask is placed slightly off-center on the left side of the frame, creating visual intrigue. The subject's visible eye aligns with the upper-right intersection point, guiding the viewer's gaze. High-contrast lighting reminiscent of film noir dramatically enhances the scene, with a strong key light casting deep shadows on the right, generating a chiaroscuro effect that emphasizes the mask's contours and the softness of the subject's skin. The color palette is monochromatic, featuring a striking contrast between the pure white of the mask, deep black background, and subtle gray undertones in the skin. The mood is mysterious and melancholic, with the expressionless mask against the glimpse of a human face conjuring hidden emotions and inner conflict. This image showcases a cinematic film noir style, with dramatic lighting and composition, set in a dark, undefined space that heightens the subject's isolation. Centrally placed, the subject faces the camera, holding the mask to the left side of their face, revealing the right eye and part of the right cheek and mouth. The intense gaze of the visible eye speaks to the viewer, while the hair, pulled back with stray strands, adds texture to the stark frame. The mask, angled to expose a sliver of the subject's real face, symbolizes duality and hidden identities. The contrast between the smooth, featureless mask and the soft, luminous skin of the subject accentuates the theme of hidden truths, with carefully positioned elements crafting a powerful, psychologically charged portrait.

Camera 1
The camera slowly pushes in on the subject, gradually tightening the frame. This deliberate movement intensifies the sense of introspection and psychological tension, drawing the viewer deeper into the subject's hidden world.
Camera 2
A subtle pan from left to right reveals the mask first, then slowly unveils the visible part of the face. This fluid movement mimics the act of uncovering a secret, building suspense and emphasizing the duality theme.
Camera 3
The camera performs a slow, clockwise rotation around the subject. This circular movement creates a disorienting effect, blurring the lines between mask and face, reality and illusion, enhancing the mysterious atmosphere.
