“Create an ultra-cinematic, high-resolution shot of a dense crowd of people marching down a narrow city street at dusk. The atmosphere is moody, dramatic, and rain-soaked, with wet pavement reflecting blue and gold light from storefronts and street lamps.
The crowd holds up hand-painted protest signs, some reading vague or partially obscured messages. People are bundled in coats, silhouetted by a bright misty backlight at the end of the street. Fog, rain particles, and diffused light create a soft, atmospheric haze.
Begin the shot in a tight medium framing behind the crowd—only a few figures and signs visible. Slowly pull the camera backward, gradually revealing more of the mass of people filling the street. Maintain steady, cinematic motion with a slightly floating, gimbal-like feel.
The lighting should be dramatic and contrast-heavy: deep shadows in the foreground, glowing rim-light outlines around heads and shoulders, and the city’s neon and storefront lights spilling into the scene. Add subtle lens bloom, shallow depth of field, raindrops catching the light, and soft bokeh in the distance.
Tone and style: gritty, realistic, and atmospheric—resembling a high-budget film by Denis Villeneuve or Christopher Nolan.”
