Prompt

Setting: Interior fast food restaurant, Saturday afternoon. Packed dining area, 40+ customers. Harsh overhead fluorescent lighting casts warm yellow tones over plastic booth seating, tiled floors, and a busy service counter. Ambient soundscape: overlapping conversations, fryer hiss, tray clatter, children's voices. SHOT SEQUENCE (15-second breakdown): [0:00–0:03] — WIDE ESTABLISHING Handheld-style wide shot. Crowded counter area. A teenage boy in a gray hoodie and jeans pushes through the lunch crowd toward the pickup counter where a teenage girl in a fast food uniform turns with a loaded tray. Energy is tense, purposeful. [0:03–0:07] — MEDIUM TWO-SHOT The boy grabs the girl's shoulder, spinning her around. Her expression shifts from surprise to fear. Tray wobbles. Medium shot, slightly low angle on him, slightly high on her — emphasizing power imbalance. Shallow depth of field, background customers blurred but present. [0:07–0:09] — CLOSE-UP / IMPACT His open hand strikes her cheek. Her head snaps sideways. Tray crashes to tile — toys and a drink exploding outward in slow motion for 12 frames. Sound design: the slap cuts through all ambient noise in a single sharp crack, followed by half a beat of silence. [0:09–0:11] — REACTION MONTAGE (rapid cuts) Customers freeze mid-bite. A child begins crying. Phones rise. An elderly woman grabs her husband's arm. Wide eyes. Open mouths. Three fast cuts, each 18 frames. [0:11–0:13] — KITCHEN DOOR SWING A swinging door bursts open in the background. A woman in her mid-40s in a restaurant polo and visor strides out with measured, authoritative calm. Her eyes sweep the scene instantly. A badge catches the fluorescent light on her hip. [0:13–0:15] — POWER CLOSE She raises credentials high, voice calm and clear over the noise: "FBI. Nobody moves." The teenage boy's face — pure panic — as he backs into the corner of a booth. Camera slowly pushes in on her badge, glinting under the lights. Hard cut to black. CINEMATOGRAPHY NOTES FOR SORA: Cinematic realism, handheld with subtle stabilization. Color grade: warm fluorescent interior, slightly overexposed highlights. No slow motion except the tray impact. No text overlays, no watermarks, no logos. Mood: Tense, visceral, procedural drama. Think The Wire meets everyday American setting.
