## Before you start

Guidance from Reference, separate from the creator's instructions.

1. Read the reference and inspect the project, installed libraries, and available agent skills before writing code. Reuse suitable tools already present.
2. Prefer the creator-reported libraries and skills when they fit the task. Explain what useful additions help with, and install missing project dependencies or relevant skills from official sources when the environment and the user's existing permissions allow it. Respect the project's package manager and setup rules; do not ask again for routine setup already authorized.
3. Distinguish tools used by the creator from your own recommendations. A listed tool is not automatically required, and an empty tools or requirements list means the setup is unknown, not that nothing is needed.
4. Ask concise questions when missing inputs or choices materially affect the result: paid services, credentials, the user's assets, or a different production approach. Use existing answers and permissions; continue independent work while waiting.
5. If a useful library, skill, or service cannot be installed or used, explain an available alternative and its expected effect on quality, features, or effort. Get the user's choice before a material compromise; otherwise state the fallback and continue. Never silently simplify the result or claim to have used a tool you did not use.

## Prompt

```text
00:00–00:03 — Wide cinematic shot of an abandoned amusement park at dusk. Dark storm clouds roll in fast. A teenage boy in a red jacket walks alone.
00:03–00:06 — Strong wind hits. A loose metal sign swings violently and crashes behind him. He starts running.
00:06–00:09 — He reaches the old carousel and climbs onto a faded wooden horse as heavy rain begins.
00:09–00:12 — Lightning flashes, illuminating the entire park in stark white. The carousel slowly starts turning from the wind.
00:12–00:15 — Rain hammers the metal roof. He holds on tightly as the carousel spins faster.
00:15–00:18 — Another lightning strike reveals a girl in a yellow raincoat standing at the entrance, watching him.
00:18–00:21 — She steps inside the spinning carousel as the storm intensifies.
00:21–00:24 — The boy looks at her. Both stay silent while rain pours and the ride turns.
00:24–00:27 — Camera slowly pushes in to a medium two-shot. Another lightning flash freezes the moment.
00:27–00:30 — Final close-up of their faces as rain streaks down. Atmosphere: eerie, melancholic, charged with quiet tension.

## What it looks like

Written by Reference from the video frames, not by the creator.

A moody, realistic scene at a dim amusement-park carousel, with a boy in a red coat and a woman in a bright yellow coat.

- Color: Muted blue-gray and charcoal tones, with red and yellow coats as vivid accents.
- Type: Live-action cinematic imagery with subdued, naturalistic lighting.
- Framing: The carousel and its horses fill the setting; the boy is often framed in the foreground, while the woman appears farther back. Close views emphasize the characters’ faces.
- Structure: Establishing views of the park and carousel give way to character-focused views and a close two-shot of the boy and woman.
