ACTIVE REFERENCES
@woman <<<image_1>>>: exact match to the character sheet. Face, eyes, nose, lips, jawline, cherry-red hair and proportions identical at every distance.
@dress <<<image_2>>>: exact match to the garment sheet, worn in every frame: champagne silk on the bias, V-neck wrap bodice, narrow straps, gathered waistband, long skirt in wide panels, trailing hem, high slit.
@beach <<<image_3>>>: exact match to the location sheet, at the last hour of light: wet packed sand mirroring the sky, shallow water, open horizon. She stands on the waterline; its pier sits far to her right, small and distant, laying a long shadow.

FIRST FRAME / BLOCKING
Tight backlit close-up on her hand only, no face in frame: thumb and forefinger closing around the sun on the horizon, the disc burning between them, fingers rimmed orange, all else silhouette.

FORMAT MODE
One continuous shot, 15 seconds, no cuts. Real time, no slow motion. Five distances, each move motivated: close on the hand, medium when she reacts, wide only when she raises her arm, down to the sand for a second, then medium close-up on her face.

ACTION
0.0-3.0 s: Her hand only, pinching the sun, the pose everyone strikes for photos.
3.0-6.0 s: The camera pulls back only to a medium shot, her face and raised hand in frame, the sun small between her fingers. She lowers her hand to let go and the sun comes down with it, the light dropping across her face. She stops, lifts her hand, the sun climbs back, the light returns. She looks at her hand.
6.0-10.0 s: She raises her arm high and the camera pulls back with the movement to a wide full figure. The sun climbs to midday: her shadow and the pier's shorten and swing together, the sand goes orange to white, the water hard and bright, the silk pale. She brings her arm down past the horizon: the light drains, both shadows stretch long, the sand turns blue, the silk silver, stars come out.
10.0-11.0 s: The camera drops to the wet sand for a second: her bare feet, her prints filling with water, the hem dragging, her shadow long and blue across the mirror of the sand.
11.0-15.0 s: The camera rises to a medium close-up on her face. She lifts her hand to where the sun started and opens her fingers. The sun stays and finishes setting on its own. She lowers her arm, looks at her open palm, quiet recognition, mouth closed. The last frame holds a full second.

PERFORMANCE
World: the ground records everything. Her feet press prints that fill with water, the sand holds the drag of the hem, the shadows are the scene's clock. Each event changes a second thing: the sand changes colour under her, the water gold to white to blue, the silk with it.
Acting: playful at first, doing it for the photo. Confusion when the sun follows her hand down, a careful test, then delight. At the end something like respect. Expression free, structure identical.

LIGHTING / COLOR
The sun is the only light and it is always where her hand is. It stays behind her, so she is backlit at every stage: a hot rim on her hair, her face lit by bounce off the sand, the silk glowing where light passes through. Every colour follows the sun's height.

WARDROBE
The silk lifts and falls with the wind, the panels open behind her and settle after each gust, the hem drags in the sand, fully opaque, straps on her shoulders.

AUDIO
Location sound only: sea wind, waves running up and back, her breath, the silk snapping, her feet in the sand.

STYLE / OUTPUT
35mm film, Kodak Vision3 250D, handheld documentary, available light. Natural grain, heavy halation around the sun. The camera has an operator's reaction time: late when the sun moves, corrects, overshoots.

POSITIVE LOCKS
@woman 100% consistent with reference at every distance, close-up to wide. One woman, one sun, two hands. The gown stays identical to the garment sheet throughout. The pier stays small and distant on the right, never between her and the sun. Every shadow points away from the sun and its length matches the sun's height.
