Universal Prompt Prompt:
Shot Type: Close-Up. The camera is positioned directly above a broken mirror lying on a beach, capturing a fractured reflection of a bearded man in formal attire. Composition Techniques: Rule of Thirds, Asymmetry. The broken mirror is positioned off-center, occupying the lower two-thirds of the frame. The fragmented reflection creates a visually striking asymmetry, drawing the eye across the various shards. Lighting: Natural, soft lighting suggests late afternoon or early evening at the beach. The warm, golden hues enhance the contrast between the cool tones of the mirror and the earthy colors of the sand and shells. Color Palette: The image is dominated by teal blue from the mirror fragments, contrasting with the warm beige and brown tones of the sand and shells. The reflected figure adds touches of black from the suit and white from the shirt. Mood and Emotion: The scene evokes a sense of contemplation and melancholy. The fractured reflection symbolizes a fragmented self-image or broken memories, creating an emotionally charged atmosphere. Style: The image blends realism with surrealism. While the beach setting and reflected figure are realistic, the composition and use of the broken mirror create a surreal, thought-provoking scene. Location and Setting: A sandy beach littered with various shells and small pebbles. The texture of the sand is gritty and uneven, with shells of different sizes and shapes scattered throughout. Character Placement: The reflected figure in the mirror fragments appears to be a middle-aged man with a full beard and long hair. He's wearing a black suit and white shirt, suggesting formal attire. His expression is serious, looking directly at the camera. The fragmented nature of the mirror breaks up his image, with each shard showing a different part of his face or upper body. The mirror itself is broken into numerous pieces, creating a fan-like pattern. The largest fragment is at the bottom of the frame, with smaller shards radiating outwards. Some pieces are missing, revealing more of the sandy beach beneath. The beach background is rich in texture. Various shells are visible, including small, white bivalve shells, spiral shells, and fragments of larger shells. The sand has a coarse, grainy appearance with subtle variations in color from light beige to darker brown. The contrast between the man's formal attire and the casual beach setting creates a sense of displacement or incongruity, adding to the surreal nature of the image. The sharp edges of the broken mirror contrast sharply with the organic, rounded shapes of the shells and the uneven texture of the sand. The placement of the mirror on the beach suggests it may have washed ashore, adding an element of mystery to the scene. The careful arrangement of the fragments, however, implies artistic intent rather than a random occurrence. The image captures a moment of introspection and fragmentation, inviting the viewer to contemplate the nature of self-reflection and the complexities of identity. The juxtaposition of man-made elements (mirror, formal clothing) with the natural beach setting creates a thought-provoking visual metaphor.

Prompt for Flux
Close-Up shot directly above a broken mirror lying on a sandy beach, capturing a fragmented reflection of a middle-aged man with a full beard and long hair, dressed in a black suit and white shirt. Composition follows the Rule of Thirds and Asymmetry, with the mirror off-center, occupying the lower two-thirds of the frame. Natural, soft lighting suggests late afternoon, casting warm golden hues that enhance the contrast between the cool teal tones of the mirror fragments and the earthy beige and brown tones of the sand and scattered shells. The color palette features teal blue from the mirror, warm beige, and browns of the beach, with black and white accents from the man's attire. The mood evokes contemplation and melancholy, with the fractured reflection symbolizing a fragmented self-image. Blending realism and surrealism, the image features a gritty, uneven sandy beach rich in texture, dotted with various small shells, including bivalves and spiral shells. The mirror, broken into fan-like pieces, reveals bits of sand beneath, while the largest shard at the bottom displays different segments of the man's serious expression, creating an emotionally charged atmosphere. The juxtaposition of the formal attire against the casual beach setting conveys a sense of displacement and adds mystery, as if the mirror washed ashore yet arranged with artistic intent. The scene invites viewers to reflect on identity and self-perception, with sharp mirror edges contrasting the organic shapes of the shells and sand, capturing a moment of introspection and the complexities of identity.

Camera 3
The camera tilts up from the mirror, revealing more of the beach setting. This fluid motion contextualizes the surreal scene within its natural environment, expanding the visual narrative.
