A live rap performance at a hanging microphone in a packed movie theater lobby at night, six shots cut on the beat. Photorealistic live action, vertical 9:16.
WHO IS WHO: THE RAPPER, the performer at the hanging microphone and the large central figure in every shot, is the person in [Image 1]: copy the exact face from [Image 1] (the face shape, eye color and eye shape, eyebrows, nose, mouth, skin tone, age, hair color, hair length and hairstyle, and any beard, moustache, glasses or freckles), with the build, clothes, headwear, eyewear and jewellery from [Image 1]. The same face from the first frame to the last, so their friends recognize them at once. Everyone else is the crowd.
THE SET: the same movie theater lobby at night in every frame, packed with a hyped crowd: orange LED showtime boards overhead in the straight-on shots, a glowing red cinema sign above the crowd in the lobby shot (no readable words or logos), curved orange-red neon ceiling coves in the side angles and the close-up. The vintage chrome microphone hangs on its long black cable in front of THE RAPPER at mouth height in every shot.
THE SHOTS: six shots.
[0-1.7 s] SHOT 1, STRAIGHT-ON MEDIUM: THE RAPPER, a forearm across the chest, raps toward the lens with a big grin, bouncing on the beat, the crowd waving behind.
[1.7-5.9 s] SHOT 2, SIDE-ANGLE MEDIUM: THE RAPPER, turned toward the left of the frame, raps hard, both hands up and working in front of the body, palms open, then counting on the fingers.
[5.9-9.3 s] SHOT 3, THE LOBBY SHOT: THE RAPPER stands centred at the microphone in the packed crowd under the cinema sign and the showtime boards, rapping, one hand low, rocking side to side.
[9.3-10.7 s] SHOT 4, CLOSE-UP: THE RAPPER raps straight into the lens with total intensity, eyebrows up, the microphone beside the head at the right.
[10.7-12.3 s] SHOT 5, SIDE-ANGLE MEDIUM: THE RAPPER, turned toward the left of the frame, swings an arm across the body, eyes half closed, rapping.
[12.3-15 s] SHOT 6, STRAIGHT-ON MEDIUM: THE RAPPER faces the lens, crossing both forearms in an X over the chest and opening them again on the beat, rapping with a hard, proud face to the last frame.
MOUTHS: THE RAPPER raps from the first frame to the last without a break, in fast phrases on a steady beat: the lips press shut on m, b and p, round on o, the jaw drops on long vowels, never a loose flapping jaw. The crowd never raps into the microphone.
FACE: confident and fired up, grinning between lines in SHOT 1, intense in the close-up.
Sound: none; a rap song goes on afterwards, so the rapping must be easy to see.
THE RAPPER keeps the face, hair, skin, eyewear and clothes of [Image 1] in every frame. Nobody in the crowd looks like THE RAPPER. A stable face, no distortion, natural proportions.
Avoid: a backwards cap, curly hair, an open denim or green jacket, a bare chest or a heavy chain that is not in [Image 1], a second rapper at the microphone, a nightclub instead of the cinema lobby, captions, subtitles, logos, watermarks, extra limbs, morphing.
