Universal Prompt Prompt:
Shot Type: Wide Shot. The camera captures a vast, barren landscape with a large mirror frame as the central focal point. The frame is positioned slightly off-center, creating a sense of imbalance and intrigue.
Composition Techniques: Rule of Thirds, Leading Lines, Asymmetry. The mirror frame is placed along the left vertical third line, while the chair occupies the right third. The cracked earth creates leading lines that draw the eye towards the distant mountains.
Lighting: Natural, diffused light from an overcast sky bathes the scene in a soft, ethereal glow. The light is even across the landscape, with subtle shadows cast by the mirror frame and chair. The mountains in the background are slightly hazier, suggesting atmospheric perspective.
Color Palette: The scene is dominated by muted earth tones. The cracked ground is a pale beige, contrasting with the darker brown wooden frame of the mirror and chair. The sky is a mix of light grays and whites, with hints of blue peeking through. The distant mountains are rendered in soft blues and purples.
Mood and Emotion: The scene evokes a sense of melancholy, isolation, and introspection. The vast emptiness of the landscape, combined with the symbolic presence of the mirror and solitary chair, creates a contemplative and slightly unsettling atmosphere.
Style: The image blends surrealism with photorealism. While the elements are rendered with photographic detail, their arrangement and symbolism push the scene into the realm of the surreal.
Location and Setting: A vast, arid desert with cracked, dry earth extends as far as the eye can see. In the distance, a range of mountains rises against the cloudy sky. The ground is parched and fractured, creating a network of intricate patterns.
Character Placement: While there is no full human figure visible, bare feet and lower legs can be seen at the bottom edge of the mirror frame. They appear to be standing on the cracked earth, suggesting the presence of an unseen person holding the mirror.
Objects: The large mirror frame is the most prominent object, standing upright on the desert floor. It's made of dark wood with an ornate design. The mirror reflects the sky and mountains, but also reveals the feet and legs of an unseen figure. To the right, a simple wooden chair sits empty on the cracked earth, its back towards the mirror.
Symbolism: The mirror represents self-reflection and the search for identity in a barren emotional landscape. The empty chair symbolizes absence, loneliness, or an invitation for contemplation. The vast, empty desert represents isolation or a blank slate for self-discovery.
Textures: The scene is rich in textures, from the intricate network of cracks in the dry earth to the weathered wood of the mirror frame and chair. The smooth surface of the mirror contrasts with the rough terrain, while the distant mountains have a softer, hazier texture.
Perspective: The wide-angle view emphasizes the vastness of the landscape, making the human elements (mirror, chair, feet) seem small and isolated. This perspective reinforces themes of human insignificance in the face of nature or the universe.

Prompt for Flux
"Wide Shot of a vast, barren desert landscape, showcasing a large, ornate dark wood mirror frame as the central element, positioned slightly off-center for dynamic intrigue. The composition adheres to the Rule of Thirds, with the mirror along the left vertical third line and a simple wooden chair occupying the right third, creating a visual tension. Cracked earth extends across the ground, forming leading lines that guide the viewer's gaze toward distant, hazy mountains. Natural, diffused light from an overcast sky casts an ethereal glow over the scene; the lighting is soft and even, introducing subtle shadows from the mirror and chair. The color palette features muted earth tones: pale beige of the cracked ground contrasts with the dark brown of the mirror frame and chair, while the sky presents light grays and whites flecked with blue, accompanied by soft blues and purples of the distant mountain range. The overall mood evokes a sense of melancholy and introspection, underscored by the vast emptiness of the landscape. The style fuses surrealism with photorealism, as elements are presented in photographic detail but arranged to suggest a surreal narrative. The location is an arid, cracked desert, leading to a range of mountains under a cloudy sky, the ground displaying intricate patterns of dryness. Bare feet and lower legs appear at the mirror's edge, hinting at an unseen figure standing on the parched ground, while the empty chair faces away from the viewer, reinforcing themes of absence and contemplation. The mirror symbolizes self-reflection amidst isolation, while the chair invites thoughtfulness. The textures are rich, from the cracked earth to the weathered wood of the furniture, with the smooth mirror surface contrasting against the rough terrain and the distant mountains rendered in softer hues. The wide-angle perspective amplifies the vastness of this emotional landscape, accentuating the isolation of the human elements and fostering a profound sense of insignificance against nature's backdrop."

Camera 2
A gentle dolly zoom focuses on the mirror, slowly pushing in while widening the field of view. This creates a disorienting effect, blurring the line between reflection and reality.
Camera 3
A low-angle tracking shot moves along the cracked earth towards the chair, then smoothly rises to reveal the mountains in the background. This movement connects the foreground elements to the distant landscape.
