(01) — The project

Each test looks at one director: where the camera is, which lens, how long a shot lasts, when it cuts. It is a way to study their work, and to learn what generative tools can and cannot do.

(02) — Context

Getting the model to respect framing, blocking and rhythm, and keeping faces consistent.

(03) — Process

Prompts written as shot lists, reference images of the cast, many attempts.
