### **I. DYNAMIC PROMPT TEMPLATE**
**Instructions:** Replace the bracketed `[VARIABLE]` placeholders with your specific concepts to create a unique, detailed prompt.
**LOGLINE:** A lone `[PROTAGONIST_ARCHETYPE]`, known as `[PROTAGONIST_CODENAME]`, must infiltrate the impenetrable `[TARGET_LOCATION]` to steal the `[MACGUFFIN_OBJECT]` from the ruthless `[ANTAGONIST_ORGANIZATION]`, using a high-tech `[UNIQUE_GADGET]` before a `[TICKING_CLOCK_EVENT]` occurs.
**DYNAMIC_VARIABLES:**
* **`[PROTAGONIST_ARCHETYPE]`**: (e.g., ex-special forces ghost, disgraced government cryptographer, master cat burglar, disillusioned corporate spy)
* **`[PROTAGONIST_CODENAME]`**: (e.g., “Spectre,” “Echo,” “Nyx,” “Silas”)
* **`[TARGET_LOCATION]`**: (e.g., a subterranean Swiss data vault, a penthouse art gallery in a Dubai skyscraper, a high-security bio-lab on a remote island, the central server of a stock exchange)
* **`[LOCATION_AESTHETIC]`**: (e.g., Brutalist concrete and cold steel, minimalist white and glass, opulent neo-classical marble, high-tech obsidian and neon)
* **`[MACGUFFIN_OBJECT]`**: (e.g., a quantum encryption key, biometric data on a hard drive, a stolen prototype weapon, a vial of a deadly virus)
* **`[ANTAGONIST_ORGANIZATION]`**: (e.g., a rogue intelligence agency, a powerful tech corporation, an international crime syndicate, a shadowy government cabal)

* **`[TICKING_CLOCK_EVENT]`**: (e.g., a data purge at midnight, the arrival of an armed security team, the activation of an automated lockdown protocol)
* **`[CINEMATIC_STYLE]`**: (e.g., the cold precision of David Fincher, the gritty realism of Michael Mann’s *Heat*, the sleek, high-tech feel of *Mission: Impossible*, the neon-drenched atmosphere of *Blade Runner 2049*)
* **`[PRIMARY_COLOR_PALETTE]`**: (e.g., deep blues, cold cyans, and clinical whites; tungsten oranges and shadowy blacks; emerald greens and gunmetal greys)
**SCENE_BREAKDOWN (STORYBOARD SEQUENCE):**
Generate a continuous, cinematic 5-shot sequence depicting a high-stakes stealth heist. Maintain a consistent visual and tonal style throughout.
**SHOT 1: The Approach (Establishing Shot)**
* **Camera:** Wide, sweeping aerial drone shot, slowly pushing in.
* **Action:** The `[TARGET_LOCATION]` is revealed at night, an imposing architectural marvel of `[LOCATION_AESTHETIC]`. It’s isolated and heavily guarded. The weather is tense (e.g., a brewing thunderstorm, heavy fog, silent snowfall). The city lights glitter distantly.
* **Details:** The shot establishes the scale of the challenge. Security patrols are visible as tiny, methodical dots. The building’s lighting scheme highlights its defenses.
**SHOT 2: The Infiltration (Medium Close-Up)**
* **Camera:** Low-angle medium shot, tracking the protagonist.
* **Action:** `[PROTAGONIST_CODENAME]`, clad in tactical gear, emerges from the shadows at a weak point (e.g., a maintenance duct, a glass skylight). An extreme close-up on their face shows intense, focused determination, sweat beading on their temple. They activate their `[UNIQUE_GADGET]`.
* **Details:** The `[GADGET_VISUAL_EFFECT]` is subtle but clear. We see the immediate effect: a laser grid flickers and dies, a pressure plate fails to register their weight. The sound design is minimal—just the hum of the gadget, breathing, and the distant city.
**SHOT 3: The Obstacle (Tension Point)**
* **Camera:** Over-the-shoulder shot, showing the protagonist’s point-of-view of the final security measure protecting the `[MACGUFFIN_OBJECT]`.
* **Action:** The `[MACGUFFIN_OBJECT]` is visible, encased in its container. Between it and the protagonist is a formidable, state-of-the-art defense system (e.g., a field of kinetic sensors, a laser-scanned antechamber, an AI-controlled sentry drone). The protagonist must bypass it with skill, not force. The `[TICKING_CLOCK_EVENT]` is hinted at by a flashing light or a digital countdown timer in the background.
* **Details:** The lighting here is stark and dramatic, casting long shadows. Anamorphic lens flares from the security lights create a sense of pressure and surveillance.
**SHOT 4: The Acquisition (Extreme Close-Up)**
* **Camera:** Extreme close-up, rack focus.
* **Action:** The protagonist’s gloved hand carefully removes the `[MACGUFFIN_OBJECT]` from its housing. The focus shifts from their intense eyes to the object itself, making it feel monumentally important. A single bead of sweat drips from their chin onto the floor, narrowly missing a sensor.
* **Details:** The object has a unique visual quality—it might glow faintly, have intricate etchings, or reflect the room in a distorted way. The sound is a satisfying, soft *click* as it’s secured.
**SHOT 5: The Escape (Dynamic Action Shot)**
* **Camera:** Handheld, fast-paced tracking shot from a low angle.
* **Action:** An alarm is triggered. Red lights flash, bathing the `[LOCATION_AESTHETIC]` in a hellish glow. `[PROTAGONIST_CODENAME]` sprints through corridors, no longer silent. They are a blur of motion, evading automated security doors slamming shut and the first signs of responding guards.
* **Details:** The scene is chaotic but controlled. The protagonist’s movements are efficient and desperate. The shot ends with them rappelling down an elevator shaft or crashing through a window into the stormy night, vanishing into the darkness as sirens wail in the distance.
**CINEMATIC_STYLE_GUIDE:**
* **Overall Mood:** Tense, suspenseful, claustrophobic, high-tech.
* **Cinematography:** In the style of `[CINEMATIC_STYLE]`. Use of deep focus, hard shadows, and precise camera movements in the stealth phase, switching to dynamic, shaky-cam for the escape. Filmed with an anamorphic lens for cinematic widescreen aspect ratio and distinctive lens flares.
* **Lighting:** High-contrast, chiaroscuro lighting. Practical light sources (computer monitors, laser grids, emergency lights) dominate the scene.
* **Color Grading:** A desaturated `[PRIMARY_COLOR_PALETTE]`, emphasizing a cold, technological world.
* **Pacing:** Slow and deliberate build-up of tension, followed by a sudden, explosive release of action.
* **Sound Design:** Emphasize diegetic sounds: the hum of electronics, the soft footfalls, the protagonist’s breathing, the distant thunder. The score should be a low, pulsing electronic synth track that builds in intensity.

### **II. EXAMPLE PROMPT (Filled-in Template)**
This is what the template looks like when filled out, ready to be fed to an AI like Sora.
**LOGLINE:** A lone disgraced government cryptographer, known as “Echo,” must infiltrate a subterranean Swiss data vault to steal a quantum encryption key from a ruthless tech corporation, using a short-range sonic device that disables electronics before a data purge at midnight occurs.
**SCENE_BREAKDOWN (STORYBOARD SEQUENCE):**
Generate a continuous, cinematic 5-shot sequence depicting a high-stakes stealth heist. Maintain a consistent visual and tonal style throughout.
**SHOT 1: The Approach (Establishing Shot)**
* **Camera:** Wide, sweeping aerial drone shot, slowly pushing in.
* **Action:** The “Zurich Data Haven,” a subterranean Swiss data vault, is revealed at night, its only surface feature a stark, Brutalist concrete cube nestled in a snow-covered alpine valley. It’s isolated and heavily guarded. Silent, heavy snowfall blankets the landscape. The lights of a distant village glitter feebly.
* **Details:** The shot establishes the scale of the challenge. Armored security patrols are visible as tiny, methodical dots in the snow. The building’s cold, blue security lighting highlights its impenetrable defenses.
**SHOT 2: The Infiltration (Medium Close-Up)**
* **Camera:** Low-angle medium shot, tracking the protagonist.
* **Action:** “Echo,” a woman in sleek, black tactical gear, emerges from the shadows of a ventilation shaft. An extreme close-up on her face shows intense, focused determination, her breath misting in the cold air. She activates her unique gadget, a short-range sonic nullifier.
* **Details:** The gadget emits a silent pulse of invisible energy, visible only as a faint, shimmering ripple in the air. We see the immediate effect: a red laser grid across the corridor flickers and dies. The sound design is minimal—just the low hum of the device, her controlled breathing, and the muffled wind outside.
**SHOT 3: The Obstacle (Tension Point)**
* **Camera:** Over-the-shoulder shot, showing Echo’s point-of-view of the final security measure.
* **Action:** The quantum encryption key is visible, a glowing crystalline rod suspended in a magnetic containment field. Between it and Echo is the antechamber, its floor a grid of weight-sensitive plates that will trigger a lockdown. A digital clock on the far wall reads 23:57, hinting at the midnight data purge.
* **Details:** The lighting here is stark and clinical, cast by the glowing key and a single overhead light, creating long, spider-like shadows. Anamorphic lens flares from the security sensors create a sense of oppressive surveillance.
**SHOT 4: The Acquisition (Extreme Close-Up)**
* **Camera:** Extreme close-up, rack focus.
* **Action:** Echo’s gloved hand carefully navigates the final lock, disabling the magnetic field. She removes the glowing quantum encryption key. The focus shifts from her intense eyes, reflected in the glass casing, to the intricate, pulsing light within the key itself. A single snowflake, carried in on her gear, melts and drips from her shoulder onto the floor, narrowly missing a pressure plate.
* **Details:** The key pulses with a soft, cyan light. The sound is a satisfying, soft *hiss-click* as the containment field deactivates and the key is secured in a cryo-pouch.
**SHOT 5: The Escape (Dynamic Action Shot)**
* **Camera:** Handheld, fast-paced tracking shot from a low angle.
* **Action:** A silent alarm is triggered. Red emergency lights flash, bathing the Brutalist concrete corridors in a hellish glow. Echo sprints through the hallways, no longer silent. She is a blur of motion, vaulting over laser tripwires that reactivate behind her and evading automated security doors slamming shut.
* **Details:** The scene is chaotic but controlled. Echo’s movements are efficient and desperate. The shot ends with her launching a magnetic grapple line up an elevator shaft and ascending into the darkness, vanishing just as armored guards flood the corridor below.
**CINEMATIC_STYLE_GUIDE:**
* **Overall Mood:** Tense, suspenseful, claustrophobic, high-tech.
* **Cinematography:** In the style of David Fincher’s cold precision. Use of deep focus, hard shadows, and methodical camera movements in the stealth phase, switching to dynamic, shaky-cam for the escape. Filmed with an anamorphic lens for cinematic widescreen aspect ratio and distinctive blue-toned lens flares.
* **Lighting:** High-contrast, chiaroscuro lighting. Practical light sources (computer monitors, the glowing key, red emergency lights) dominate the scene.
* **Color Grading:** A desaturated color palette of deep blues, cold cyans, and clinical whites, emphasizing a cold, technological world.
* **Pacing:** Slow and deliberate build-up of tension, followed by a sudden, explosive release of action.
* **Sound Design:** Emphasize diegetic sounds: the hum of servers, the soft footfalls on metal, Echo’s breathing, the distant wind. The score should be a low, pulsing electronic synth track reminiscent of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, which builds in intensity during the escape.
