Universal Prompt Prompt:
Shot Type: Extreme Close-Up. The camera is positioned mere inches from the subject's face, capturing intricate details of skin texture, smoke tendrils, and the glowing ember of a cigarette.
Composition Techniques: Rule of Thirds, with the subject's mouth and cigarette positioned along the lower third line. Leading lines are created by the smoke trails, guiding the viewer's eye across the frame. The depth of field is shallow, with the face in sharp focus while the background blurs into a dreamy haze.
Lighting: The scene is dominated by warm, reddish lighting that appears to emanate from multiple sources. A primary light source seems to be positioned to the upper left, casting a soft glow across the subject's face. Additional colored lights—blue and yellow—create highlights and add depth to the shadows. The lighting is dramatic and moody, enhancing the mysterious atmosphere.
Color Palette: The dominant color is a rich, warm red that bathes the entire scene. Accents of deep blue and bright yellow appear as light flares and reflections. The subject's skin takes on a golden hue in this lighting, while the smoke appears white to pale blue. Dark, almost black shadows add contrast and depth.
Mood and Emotion: The scene evokes a sense of intimacy and introspection. There's a dreamy, almost trance-like quality to the image, suggesting a moment of deep contemplation or escape. The close framing and hazy atmosphere create a feeling of being enveloped in the subject's private world.
Style: The image blends elements of realism with surrealism. While the subject and cigarette are rendered with photorealistic detail, the overall effect—with its vivid colors, light flares, and smoke—leans towards a hyper-realistic, dreamlike aesthetic. This style enhances the cinematic quality of the shot.
Location and Setting: The setting appears to be an intimate, enclosed space—possibly a dimly lit room or nightclub. The background is entirely out of focus, emphasizing the isolation of the subject and the intimate nature of the moment captured.
Character Placement: The subject's face fills most of the frame, with only part of it visible. The mouth and chin are prominently featured, with lips slightly parted. Delicate fingers hold a cigarette close to the lips, positioned in the lower third of the frame. Smoke rises from the cigarette, curling around the face and fingers, creating a veil-like effect that partially obscures some features.
Additional Details:
- The subject's skin appears smooth and luminous in the warm light, with a slight sheen suggesting humidity or perspiration.
- Subtle makeup is visible, including what seems to be lip gloss reflecting light.
- The cigarette is held between the index and middle fingers, creating a classic, elegant pose.
- Smoke tendrils are captured in exquisite detail, ranging from thin, wispy strands to thicker plumes that catch the colored lights.
- Light flares and bokeh effects in the background add to the dreamy, surreal quality of the image.
- The nails on the visible fingers appear manicured and reflect light, suggesting they might be painted or have a glossy finish.
- Tiny water droplets or light reflections are visible on the skin, adding to the texture and dimensionality of the image.
- The depth of field is so shallow that even parts of the face not in the immediate focal plane begin to soften, enhancing the dreamlike quality.

Camera 1
The camera slowly pushes in, maintaining focus on the lips and cigarette. As it moves closer, the smoke becomes more prominent in the foreground, creating a mesmerizing dance of light and shadow across the frame.
Camera 2
A gentle, circular dolly movement around the subject's face reveals different angles of light play on the skin and through the smoke. The camera maintains its close-up framing, creating an intimate, almost voyeuristic perspective.
Camera 3
The camera pulls back slightly, allowing more of the face to come into view. As it does, it tilts upward, following the path of the rising smoke, before settling on the subject's eyes, partially obscured by the haze.
