Video prompt / A heavy-lift rocket tears off a coastal launch pad at first light, and the marsh three kilometres away only hears it long after the vehicle has climbed out of frame. Shot 1 - 0.0s to 5.0s - EWS, low angle looking up from the marsh edge, locked-off; the launch pad fills the far frame, and the first five seconds are only the low rumble travelling through reeds as the vehicle rises. Shot 2 - 5.0s to 10.0s - MCU, handheld, the ignition deluge and steam; the pre-laced marsh-channel water sheets the near bank and the deluge pipe mouth in the near foreground stays almost dry. Shot 3 - 10.0s to 15.0s - MS, crane, the hold-down release and the stack clearing the tower; the crane tracks the vehicle just enough to keep it centred while the marsh drops away to a flat horizon. Shot 4 - 15.0s to 20.0s - EWS, drone high angle looking down on the marsh; the launch pad is a bright point in the distance and the sound still has not reached the reeds. Shot 5 - 20.0s to 25.0s - WS, locked-off on the marsh edge again; the delayed sound finally arrives as a soft pressure wave that ripples the reed beds, a single bird lifting off to the east. Shot 6 - 25.0s to 30.0s - EWS, slow dolly east over the marsh as the vehicle threads the cloud base; the scene holds on the flat wetland and the distant contrail. Camera: 35mm anamorphic throughout, 2.39:1, 24 fps, 180 degree motion blur, natural colour profile with a restrained contrast curve. Anti-default: the near-foreground deluge pipe stays almost dry, and the marsh water does not sheet or ripple from engine wash at any point until shot five. Grade: gold-hour amber palette over the launch pad with sulphur / wet concrete grey / one white plume in the upper frame, the marsh in cool desaturated teal and the sky holding a clean blue gradient. Audio: five diegetic events — (1) the low sub rumble arriving through ground and reeds before anything is seen, (2) the ignition and deluge hiss in shot two, (3) the hold-down release and stack-clear clank in shot three, (4) the distant steady thrust tone in shots four and six, (5) the delayed soft pressure-wave arrival rippling the reeds in shot five with one bird call. Constraints: 6 shots, zero people visible, one visible vehicle (the rocket, no ground vehicles), one bird in shot five only, zero logos / insignia / lettering / text, no music or score or BGM, no subtitles, no voiceover.
