DELIVERY: 10.00 seconds (240 frames), 2.39:1 cinematic widescreen, 2048 x 858 pixels, 24 frames per second, MP4. The clip starts in the middle of an action (no establishing moment) and ends in the middle of an action (no final pose, no resolution).
SUBJECTS:
- Heroine: Korean woman, 25 years old, 165 cm tall, athletic build, long straight black hair tied in a high ponytail that whips with her movement, light natural makeup. Wearing a fitted white cropped jacket, black high-waist tactical pants and white sneakers.
- Hero: Korean man, 28 years old, 182 cm tall, lean muscular build, short black hair with a side part, sharp jawline. Wearing a charcoal fitted henley, black cargo pants and black boots.
- Both fight like trained martial artists: palm strikes, blocks, kicks, spins, then fast swordwork. The fight is evenly matched: each lands hits and each is pushed back, and neither dominates.
- Her katana: 100 cm blade (total length), polished silver edge, rose-gold guard and a white wrapped grip, formed from drifting pink-gold light particles, with a soft pink-gold glow.
- His katana: 100 cm blade, polished silver edge, black guard and a deep navy wrapped grip, formed from drifting cyan light particles, with a soft cyan glow.
- Each katana appears in turn: hers first, then his, each forming out of light in the owner's open hand over about 0.5 s.
- Onlookers: 10 ordinary adults in casual clothes (jeans, hoodies, dresses, one in a yellow raincoat), standing about 8 m back behind a low wooden fence. Some raise phones, some cover their mouths, some step back, all reacting with gasps. They do not move into the fight.
- No blood, no gore. Sword hits land on blades, with sparks, and in grabs and shoves only.
SETTING: A flower park in bright daylight, a 12 m wide grey-stone paved clearing in the centre. Cherry blossom trees in full bloom around it with pink petals falling and drifting, curved beds of red and yellow tulips along the edges, white wooden benches, a small stone fountain on the left, and a low wooden fence with the onlookers on the far side. Clear blue sky with a few soft clouds.
LIGHT (every light fixed in the scene, none attached to the camera, except the katana glows):
- Key: afternoon sun high on the right, 5600 K, hard, with defined shadows and bright highlights on faces and blades.
- Fill: open blue sky and the pale stone floor, 7500 K, soft, lifts the shadows with a cool tint. Key to fill ratio 3:1 (about 1.6 stops), giving shape with gentle contrast.
- Back or edge light: the same sun backlights petals and hair, creating a thin bright rim on her ponytail and his shoulders.
- Practical: katana glows, pink-gold (3500 K) and cyan (8000 K), soft, tinting hands, faces and nearby petals.
CAMERA (Super 35 format, 24.89 mm wide; anamorphic look with oval out-of-focus highlights and a slight horizontal flare from the sun). Exposure for the whole clip: T2.8, shutter angle 180 degrees (exposure time 1/48 s, natural film motion blur), exposure index 800. Light handheld shake throughout: 0.5 degrees of rotation, 3 Hz, on pan and tilt axes, focus stays steady. The camera stays on one side of the line between the two fighters and the onlookers (axis of action) for the whole clip. All cuts are hard cuts on action, so each movement continues from its position at the cut.
TIMELINE (each shot starts and ends on a whole frame):
Shot 1, 0.00 to 2.50 s (frames 0 to 60). 35 mm lens, angle of view 39 degrees, camera height 1.2 m, 3 m from them, slow push-in of 0.6 m. Frame 0 is already mid-action: his palm strike is landing on her blocking forearm, petals bursting off her jacket, onlookers visible at the back. At 0.7 s she spins and kicks at his ribs, he catches her ankle and shoves her back 1.5 m, her sneakers sliding on the stone. At 1.6 s she thrusts her right hand out and her katana forms from pink-gold particles (0.5 s), fully solid at 2.1 s. Sharp on her face and hand, onlookers softly blurred behind.
Audio: palm impact, sneaker slide, rising shimmer as the blade forms, onlookers gasping.
Shot 2, 2.50 to 5.00 s (frames 60 to 120). 24 mm lens, angle of view 55 degrees, camera height 1.0 m, low angle, orbiting 45 degrees around them at 0.5 m/s. At 2.7 s she slashes down at him, he jumps back, the blade cuts a ring of petals out of the air. At 3.2 s he opens his left hand and his katana forms from cyan particles (0.5 s), solid at 3.7 s. At 3.9 s his blade meets hers in a first clash with a sparks flash, and the shockwave blows petals outward. At 4.5 s they trade three quick cuts, the blades ringing each time.
Audio: blade swish, cyan shimmer, three rapid metallic clangs, petal rustle.
Shot 3, 5.00 to 7.50 s (frames 120 to 180). 50 mm lens, angle of view 28 degrees, camera height 1.4 m, tracking sideways at 1.4 m/s beside them. At 5.2 s he drives a thrust at her, she sidesteps and slashes at his shoulder, he blocks with the flat of the blade. At 5.9 s she ducks under his horizontal cut, hair brushing the blade, and kicks him in the thigh, he staggers 1 m back. At 6.6 s he leaps over a tulip bed with a downward cut, she parries and is pushed back 1 m, her sneakers sliding, but she keeps her balance. The fight is clearly equal at this moment.
Audio: thrust whoosh, steel on steel, kick thud, onlookers' startled shouts.
Shot 4, 7.50 to 10.00 s (frames 180 to 240). 85 mm lens, angle of view 17 degrees, camera height 1.3 m, 3.5 m from them, shallow focus (T2.8, fighters sharp, onlookers and blossoms soft and oval). At 8.1 s both leap at each other at the same time, spinning in the air. The clip ends on frame 240 with the two blades crossing mid-air in a clash, sparks bursting, petals swirling around them, neither landing, no outcome shown.
Audio: twin shimmer swell, a loud metallic clash, cut off mid-sound on the last frame.
AUDIO MIX: Fight sounds (blade clangs, kicks, footsteps) peak at -12 dBFS. Katana shimmer at -18 dBFS. Crowd gasps at -22 dBFS. A tense cinematic string-and-percussion score sits under them at -20 dBFS. Park ambience (wind, birds, fountain) at -35 dBFS. The sound starts already running at frame 0 and stops without a tail at frame 240.
LOOK: Cinematic spring daylight action grade, saturated pink blossoms and clear blue sky, pink-gold against cyan blade glows, fine film grain, natural skin tones, subtle halation on the sun and blades, no on-screen text.
