Starter prompt
The exact brief that produced the image above.
An overhead flat-lay on a bright bone-white desk, filling the frame. A clean black and white clapperboard lies open at a slight angle, beside a ruled shot list with neat pencil column marks, a small folded lens chart, and three instant photo prints of a sunlit street pinned in a row. One thin amber grease-pencil arc curves across the paper like a camera-move diagram. Soft even daylight from the upper left, delicate shadows, bone-white and warm grey palette with a single amber accent, bright and high key, no legible lettering.
