Shifting between deep indigos Prompts

USE THE ATTACHED IMAGE AS THE BASE. Retain exactly: the giant Sierra Leone cotton tree (Ceiba pentandra) with the portal ring embedded in its trunk, the liquid gold rippling event horizon filling the portal circle, the seven stone steps rising from red laterite earth to the portal, the crowd of 200 figures in ceremonial formation with the processional axis open down the centre, the rainforest clearing walls, the cotton tree canopy spreading over the entire clearing. CHANGE ONE — DRUMS: Remove the two enormous flanking drums from their fixed architectural positions left and right of the steps. Replace with four Fontomfrom drums held and played by drummers who are figures within the crowd formation — drums at human height, carried and played by people, not standing as permanent fixtures. The drums belong to the ceremony, not to the clearing. The space between the crowd and the steps must be open and unobstructed. CHANGE TWO — COLOUR TEMPERATURE: Shift the entire frame from warm amber fill to deep pre-dawn indigo. The ambient light is gone. The only light sources are: (1) scattered oil lamps on carved wooden posts at crowd level casting small amber pools, (2) the liquid gold event horizon of the portal as the dominant light source from above, (3) incense smoke catching lamp light in low horizontal threads across the red earth. The crowd reads as dark silhouettes with ceremony white cutting through the darkness. The portal glow is the brightest point in the frame by a factor of ten. CHANGE THREE — STEP BASE: Clear the processional axis and the base of the seven steps entirely. No figures standing at step level. The steps are empty. The golden Stool retinue — eight Okomfo priests in white, six Okomfohemaa in deep indigo and gold, two Nkonwasoafo bearers in dark cloth — positioned at the base of the first step only, to the sides of the axis, not blocking it. Four small sacred fire braziers with white smoke columns rising beside the stool on its carved hardwood plinth. RETAIN: One solitary figure at the far right margin of the frame, standing between the crowd and the treeline, almost entirely in shadow — only the edge of her face catching the furthest oil lamp. She is facing the portal. She is the only person in the clearing not facing the centre. This is Akua. Do not move her. Do not illuminate her. She stays at the threshold of visibility. Extreme wide cinematic shot, elevated angle, full clearing visible. Red-ochre laterite earth floor. Living rainforest walls in deep shadow. Cotton tree silver-grey bark with warm gold undertone from portal glow below. Indigo pre-dawn sky in fragments through the canopy. Incense smoke low across the red earth. Morning mist at the forest margin. Fireflies at the treeline. 2.39:1 cinematic anamorphic. 35mm grain. Barry Jenkins deep-shadow cinematography. Afrofuturism meets epic historical West African cinema. Photorealistic painterly texture. no drums as fixed architectural columns, no drums flanking the steps symmetrically, no drums larger than the people near them, no warm ambient fill light, no daytime lighting, no evenly lit crowd, no figures blocking the processional axis at step level, no figures on the steps, no portal separate from the cotton tree trunk, no small cotton tree, no clean separation between stone ring and bark, no floating portal, no modern lighting, no electric light, no spotlight effect, no plain uncarved drum bodies, no djembe, no hand drums, no drums without Adinkra carving
