[Subject doing one simple everyday action] in [real location, time of day].
Observational documentary style, handheld camera at shoulder height with small natural sway, slightly imperfect framing, the camera reframes once to follow the action.
35 mm lens, natural available light, no stylized lighting, muted realistic colors, light film grain.
The subject does not look at the camera.
Ambient location sound only.

Matching tips for the edit:
- Generate at the same aspect ratio and frame rate as your real footage when the model allows it.
- Grade AI shots with the same node tree or LUT as the real footage, then add the same grain.
- Use them short (2 to 4 seconds) between real shots, not as the hero shot.
- Label AI generated shots in your project and follow your client's and platform's disclosure rules.
