## Prompt

- Model: Seedance 2.0

```text
Format: 15s, 1080p, 16:9 landscape

Style: Ultra-realistic nostalgic home-video footage

Camera: Handheld early-2000s compact digital camera filmed by a friend (natural autofocus hunting, minor handheld shake)

Audio: 100% diegetic location sound (footsteps, ambient street noise, rustling, natural laughter; no music, no voiceover)

Character & Setting: Same young woman (early 20s, dark wavy hair half-clipped, oversized olive field jacket, wide-leg jeans, loafers, canvas tote) walking through the quiet canal-side neighborhood on a warm, overcast afternoon.

SCENE BREAKDOWN (2-SECOND BEATS)
00:00–00:02 (Beat 1 — The Kitchen) She turns from the counter holding a glass of iced tea, spots the lens, and flashes an amused half-smile as the friend quickly taps zoom in and out.

00:02–00:04 (Beat 2 — Stepping Outside) She shoulders her canvas tote and pushes open the heavy wooden alley door, holding it open for the camera while a bicycle rattles past on cobblestones.

00:04–00:06 (Beat 3 — The Fruit Stand) Pausing at a corner wooden crate, she picks up a ripe peach, exchanges a quick laugh and coins with the vendor, and drops it into a small paper sleeve.

00:06–00:08 (Beat 4 — The Dog Greeting) Crossing the stone pedestrian bridge, she naturally drops to one knee to scratch a neighbor’s golden retriever behind the ears before stepping back up.

00:08–00:10 (Beat 5 — The First Bite) Leaning against the weathered bridge railing over the canal, she takes a fresh bite of the fruit and looks right at the camera with wide, delighted eyes.

00:10–00:12 (Beat 6 — Playful Lens Block) the camera operator pushes in close to her face; she laughs out loud, scrunches her nose, and playfully slaps her palm over the lens to block it.

00:12–00:14 (Beat 7 — Walking Ahead) She drops her hand, turns, and jogs ahead down the narrow lane, glancing back over her shoulder with a two-finger gesture for her friend to catch up.

00:14–00:15 (Beat 8 — Abrupt Cut) Camera bounds forward following behind her; mid-stride, she looks back with a quick grin, and the recording abruptly cuts off at 00:14.8 without a fade.
