Template prompt
Target duration: 15s A cinematic live-action romantic confrontation between two adults in their early twenties. Set the scene in an empty castle cloister on a rainy night. Beyond a tall stone archway, rain falls into a dark courtyard. Wet flagstones reflect warm wall lamps; cool courtyard light outlines the man's shoulders. Keep the background quiet and uncluttered, with realistic skin, fabric, and restrained facial performances. The woman has long platinum-blonde hair, pale skin, and gray eyes. She wears a black academic robe with emerald lining, a white shirt, and a green-and-silver striped tie. Her straight shoulders and slightly raised chin conceal her vulnerability. The man has tousled black hair, green eyes, and thin round metal glasses. He wears a black academic robe with burgundy lining, a white shirt, and a loosely knotted red-and-gold striped tie. He tries to conceal his feelings without appearing cold or contemptuous. Keep the woman on screen left and the man on screen right. Maintain the same camera axis, matching eyelines, consistent lighting, and continuous positions across cuts. They begin half a step apart, already facing each other. The woman has just asked him to swear on her life; do not repeat that earlier line. The man is looking down, and she is watching his face. All spoken dialogue is in English. 0:00 - 0:06 | The Impossible Oath (over her shoulder, close-up of the man): The woman looks directly at him and says: "If you've ever loved me, may Crucio torment me instead." At "me instead," his eyes snap back to hers. His lips part and he inhales as though to interrupt, but no words follow. His fingers slowly curl at his sides. He cannot repeat her oath. 0:06 - 0:08 | The Breaking Point (close-up of the woman): After waiting for his answer, she raises her voice: "Swear it!" Her demand is brief and strained, carrying hurt and desperation. She stays where she is, breathing unevenly. 0:08 - 0:10 | The Answer in Silence (locked close-up of the man): Hold two full seconds without dialogue. He meets her eyes, swallows, and starts to form a word before closing his mouth. He gives the smallest shake of his head. His expression reveals the feeling his words denied. 0:10 - 0:15 | The Embrace (continuous medium close-up): Her tense expression softens as she understands. She closes the remaining half-step, slides both arms beneath his, and wraps them tightly around his back, burying her face against his shoulder. He freezes for half a beat, then places one hand on her upper back and wraps his other arm around her mid-back. He draws her close, lowering his cheek toward her hair as his shoulders relax. Her fingers grip the back of his robe. Use one uninterrupted shot with a gentle push-in, ending on their mutual embrace. Keep hands, arms, and body contact anatomically coherent. No kiss or additional dialogue. Sound and continuity: Natural English dialogue with synchronized lip movements. Each character speaks only their assigned lines. Pronounce Crucio "KROO-see-oh." It is mentioned within an oath, not cast: no wand movements, spell effects, or magical injury. Preserve rain and breathing. No narration, subtitles, or on-screen text. Keep music beneath the voices.
