#### **3. Narrative Structure (Scene by Scene Breakdown)**
**(Video Length: 30-45 seconds)**
* **Scene 1: The Awakening (0-5 seconds)**
* **Shot:** A breathtaking, ultra-wide establishing drone shot. The camera slowly pushes in from above the clouds or over a mountain ridge to reveal the stunning landscape of `[Iconic Landmark or Landscape of Destination]` at sunrise.
* **Details:** The light is golden and soft. There are no crowds, creating a sense of peace and discovery. The scale is immense.
* **Example:** A drone flying low over the misty green terraced rice paddies of Ubud, Bali, as the first rays of sun hit the volcanic peaks in the distance.
* **Scene 2: The Immersion (5-15 seconds)**
* **Shot:** A quick, fluid montage of 3-4 sensory-rich shots that place the viewer directly in the experience. Use a mix of medium shots and close-ups.
* **Details:**
1. **Close-up:** Hands of a `[Local Artisan/Chef]` preparing `[Local Craft/Dish, e.g., hand-rolling pasta, weaving a traditional textile]`. Shallow depth of field, focusing on the texture and detail.
2. **Medium Shot:** A traveler’s feet walking on `[Unique Ground Texture, e.g., ancient cobblestone streets, black sand beaches, a forest path covered in leaves]`.
3. **Dynamic Shot:** A point-of-view (POV) shot from a `[Mode of Transport, e.g., a vintage Vespa on a coastal road, a wooden boat gliding through clear water, a train window looking out at mountains]`.
* **Scene 3: The Human Connection (15-25 seconds)**
* **Shot:** A powerful, intimate, slow-motion shot focusing on the human element. This is the emotional core of the video.
* **Details:** Show a `[Protagonist Description, e.g., a solo female traveler in her 30s, a couple in their 50s, a young family]` experiencing a moment of pure, unscripted `[Emotion, e.g., joy, tranquility, wonder]`. They are not looking at the camera.
* **Example:** A couple laughing together while sharing a glass of wine on a balcony overlooking the sea at sunset. A solo traveler closing her eyes and taking a deep breath at a scenic viewpoint.
* **Scene 4: The Lasting Memory (25-35 seconds)**
* **Shot:** One final, epic, and visually stunning shot that encapsulates the destination’s magic. This is the “postcard” moment.
* **Details:** A cinematic, wide-angle shot during the ‘golden hour’ (late afternoon) or ‘blue hour’ (twilight). Use a slow slider or crane movement to add gentle motion.
* **Example:** The colorful cliffside villages of Cinque Terre illuminated by warm lights as day turns to night. The Northern Lights dancing above a glass igloo in Finland.
* **Scene 5: Call to Action (35-40 seconds)**
* **Shot:** The final, epic shot from Scene 4 holds and subtly blurs.
* **Details:** The `[Travel Agency Name]` logo appears cleanly and elegantly on screen. Below it, the tagline `[Video Theme/Tagline]` fades in, followed by the call to action: `[Call to Action, e.g., “Plan Your Unforgettable Journey,” “Discover Your Next Story.”]` and the website `[Website URL]`. Use a modern, sans-serif font.
#### **4. Cinematic & Technical Directives**
* **Camera Work:** Prioritize smooth, deliberate movements. Use sweeping drone shots for scale, gentle slider movements for elegance, and stable, intimate handheld shots for authenticity. Employ rack focus to guide the viewer’s attention.
* **Lighting:** Exclusively use natural light. Heavily feature the ‘golden hour’ and ‘blue hour’ for a warm, magical, and professional look. Avoid harsh, direct midday sun.
* **Pacing & Editing:** The edit should be rhythmic and poetic. Start slow, build energy in the montage, hold on the emotional human moment, and end on a serene, breathtaking note. Use L-cuts and J-cuts if describing an audio track for a seamless flow.
* **Lens Choice:** Simulate prime lenses with a beautiful, shallow depth of field (bokeh) for close-ups and medium shots to isolate subjects and create a dreamy, high-production-value feel.
#### **5. Subject & Human Element**
* **Talent:** Feature authentic and relatable people, not overly polished models. The cast should reflect the agency’s target demographic: `[Target Audience, e.g., adventurous millennials (25-40), affluent retirees (60+), young families with children]`.
* **Wardrobe:** Natural, stylish, and appropriate for the destination and activities. Earthy tones, linens, and comfortable travel wear.
* **Action:** All actions should feel candid and genuine. No posing or smiling directly at the camera. Capture moments of interaction, contemplation, and happiness.
#### **6. Exclusions (Negative Prompts)**
* **AVOID:** Generic stock video aesthetics, overly crowded tourist locations, cheesy or forced smiles, shaky camera footage, distracting branding (other than the agency’s at the end), clichéd jump-cuts, or overly saturated and unrealistic colors.
