The prompt

15-sec Seedance prompt — 5 shots

Style: Authentic early-2000s MiniDV home video. Young Korean woman, 24, naturally attractive, long dark hair, minimal makeup, cream cardigan over white T-shirt, loose blue jeans, white sneakers. Cozy apartment living room, warm late-afternoon light. 4:3, handheld shake, autofocus hunting, tape grain/compression, natural exposure. Keep woman, outfit, hair and environment consistent.

SHOT 1 — 0:00–0:03
Close handheld shot as she places the MiniDV camera on a small table, adjusts framing, presses record, then quickly steps out of frame.
SHOT 2 — 0:03–0:06
Wide camera POV. She hurries into frame to get into position, stops in the center and quickly fixes her hair.

SHOT 3 — 0:06–0:09
She poses with a cute natural smile, tilting her head and placing one hand near her face. While shifting her weight, her foot slightly catches the rug.
SHOT 4 — 0:09–0:12
She stumbles forward slightly, catches herself, freezes for a moment, then immediately returns to the exact same pose, pretending nothing happened.

SHOT 5 — 0:12–0:15
She holds the pose, trying to stay serious, but breaks into a small laugh. She looks at the camera with an embarrassed grin.
End: Naturally hold on her laughing expression with slight MiniDV shake. Subtle realistic stumble, no dramatic fall, no cinematic polish, no slow motion.
