**Part 2: The Shot-by-Shot Sequence**
**Scene 1: The Problem (0-2 seconds)**
* **Shot Description:** A slightly frustrating, relatable scene. A `[The problematic object, e.g., a smelly, used kitchen sponge]` is shown in a state of disarray on a `[Surface, e.g., a clean marble kitchen countertop next to a stainless steel sink]`. The object looks `[Negative adjective, e.g., damp and unappealing]`.
* **Camera Angle & Movement:** A static, medium close-up shot that clearly establishes the problem.
**Scene 2: The Hook / Introducing the Solution (2-4 seconds)**
* **Shot Description:** A hand enters the frame and places a simple, unexpected `[The ‘hack’ object, e.g., a fresh, bright yellow lemon]` and a `[Second ‘hack’ object, e.g., a small bowl of baking soda]` next to the problematic item. This is the moment of intrigue.
* **Camera Angle & Movement:** A quick, subtle push-in (dolly zoom) on the newly introduced items, creating focus and curiosity.
**Scene 3: The Demonstration – Step 1 (4-7 seconds)**
* **Shot Description:** A clear, top-down (flat-lay) shot. Hands are seen performing the first key action of the hack. `[Describe the first action in detail, e.g., The hands cut the lemon in half with a clean, swift motion using a sharp kitchen knife. Then, one half of the lemon is squeezed generously over the sponge, soaking it in juice.]`
* **Camera Angle & Movement:** Static top-down angle, perfectly centered.
**Scene 4: The Demonstration – Step 2 (7-10 seconds)**
* **Shot Description:** A close-up shot from a 45-degree angle. Hands perform the second key action. `[Describe the second action in detail, e.g., The hands now sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda directly onto the lemon-soaked sponge. The baking soda fizzes slightly as it makes contact, a key visual detail.]`
* **Camera Angle & Movement:** Quick cut to a close-up to emphasize the texture and reaction (the fizzing).
**Scene 5: The Transformation / Final Step (10-12 seconds)**
* **Shot Description:** The hands perform the final, transformative action. `[Describe the final action, e.g., The hands place the treated sponge into a microwave, close the door, and a quick shot shows the microwave’s timer counting down for 1 minute in a hyper-lapse.]`
* **Camera Angle & Movement:** A medium shot that shows the context of the action (placing the item into the appliance).
**Scene 6: The Satisfying Reveal (12-15 seconds)**
* **Shot Description:** The grand finale. The result of the hack is revealed in a visually pleasing way. `[Describe the final, perfect result, e.g., A hand wearing a protective oven mitt carefully removes the sponge from the microwave. Steam gently rises from it. The sponge is then placed on the clean countertop, looking pristine, clean, and visibly refreshed. A final shot shows the hand giving it a light, satisfying squeeze, with clean water running out.]`
* **Camera Angle & Movement:** A dramatic slow-motion close-up of the final result, emphasizing its perfection. The camera may do a slow arc around the object.

**Part 3: Negative Prompts & Constraints**
* **AVOID:** Shaky camera, blurry shots, poor lighting, distracting backgrounds, unnatural or clumsy hand movements, showing the person’s face, dirty or unkempt hands/nails, brand names or logos on products.
* **ENSURE:** Smooth transitions between shots, realistic physics (e.g., water, steam), and perfect visual continuity in object placement and lighting from one scene to the next. The overall feeling must be clean, efficient, and aspirational.
