[Character Reference Lock]
The uploaded image {{Mixed 1}} is the sole and complete visual character reference for the female lead.

From the first frame to the last, strictly preserve the following from the reference image:

Character identity
Facial features
Face shape
Skin tone
Apparent age
Hairstyle
Hair color
Height
Body type
Body proportions
Clothing
Footwear
Overall character presence.

Do not independently alter or redesign the character’s clothing, and do not add accessories absent from the reference image.

When shown from the front, at a three-quarter angle, looking down, looking up, speaking, smiling, walking toward the camera, or bringing her hands near her face, always preserve the same face, body proportions, and outfit.

Do not inherit the reference image’s background, composition, pose, text, or original lighting.

[Overall Performance Principles]

The female lead is not acting in a skit and does not know that her boyfriend is about to say something romantic.

Her boyfriend has simply called out to her on the spur of the moment and casually started filming.

Every reaction must unfold naturally, as it would during a real everyday conversation:

First she hears it
→ briefly pauses and understands it
→ her expression begins to change
→ her body then reacts
→ a trace of the previous expression lingers
→ then she enters the next state.

Expression changes must not resemble switching reaction stickers.

Do not control the eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth mechanically, one item at a time.

Her face may show slight asymmetry, an unfinished smile, natural blinking, brief distraction, swallowing, breathing adjustments, and averted gaze.

She mainly looks at her boyfriend behind the phone rather than staring precisely into the phone camera at all times.

Leave realistic comprehension time, breaths, and small silent pauses between lines.

Shyness must not depend on obvious blushing.

Do not generate suddenly red cheeks, even blush, a pink filter, or exaggerated warming effects.

If natural light and emotion cause changes in facial color, allow only extremely subtle, slow, uneven warming of the skin tone; it is also acceptable for no visible blush to appear at all.

Express shyness mainly through:

Briefly looking away
Being unable to suppress the corners of her mouth
Speaking more slowly
A brief pause in hand movement
Turning her body slightly aside
Being unable to keep looking at her boyfriend

[Camera Position and Shot-Size Principles]

The boyfriend films the female lead with a handheld phone from a first-person perspective.

The boyfriend himself never enters the frame; only his nearby off-camera voice is heard.

They initially maintain a normal conversational distance of about 1.8–2 meters. When the female lead approaches, the boyfriend naturally steps back half a step so that the closest distance remains about 1.2–1.5 meters, avoiding an oppressive camera-in-the-face shot.

The entire film mainly uses full-body and upper-body framing.

Never use an extreme close-up in which the face fills the frame.

Opening:

A medium full-body shot. The female lead appears completely in frame, with clear space above her head, the ground below her feet, and the trees behind her all visible.

Middle:

An upper-body shot from the waist up, continuously retaining clear headroom.

Closest point:

A medium close-up from the chest up, while the top of her head, neck, both shoulders, and part of her chest remain fully visible, with breathing room on all four sides.

Changes in shot size may arise only from the real movement of the camera operator and the female lead, slight lifting of the phone, and natural reframing.

No digital zoom, sudden push-ins, camera jumps, or hidden cuts of any kind.

Keep the phone at a normal 1× main-camera field of view. Do not use ultra-wide facial distortion or a telephoto candid-shot look.

Maintain slight handheld micro-shake and small vertical movement caused by the camera operator’s breathing throughout.

When the boyfriend speaks or laughs, the phone may shake very slightly in sync.

When following the character as she approaches, one brief, subtle autofocus hesitation is allowed, followed by a natural return to sharp focus.

Do not use a stabilizer or cinematic camera movement.

[Environment]

A shaded path on a summer afternoon.

The female lead stands amid dappled tree shadows, with a row of green trees behind her and a sunlit road surface.

Use authentic smartphone depth of field.

Because there is distance between the character and the background, distant leaves and the road may soften slightly and naturally, but there must be no exaggerated creamy bokeh, artificial light spots, or portrait-mode edge errors.

Leaves move in a light breeze.

Dappled tree shadows slowly sweep across the ground and the character’s clothing, occasionally passing lightly over her face without obscuring her main expression.

Preserve authentic skin texture, pores, subtle facial contours, and natural variations in skin tone.

No subtitles, filters, beauty enhancement, skin smoothing, special effects, or background music throughout.

——————

[00:00–00:04 | Medium Full-Body Shot · Suddenly Called Over]

This is only the first performance phase of the same continuous shot; do not cut.

Begin with a medium full-body shot.

The female lead stands under the trees with her side and back slightly toward the camera, looking down as she casually adjusts her cuff or checks a small item in her hand.

Her weight rests naturally on one leg while the other is relaxed.

She does not look at the camera in advance or prepare a photo pose.

The off-camera male voice is very close, with a small amount of authentic phone-microphone texture, casually saying as though the idea just occurred to him:

“Hey, look over here—smile.”

After hearing him, she reacts half a beat late.

She first softly says “Hm?” then raises her head and shifts her gaze from her hand to her boyfriend behind the phone.

She does not immediately show exaggerated surprise.

She simply pauses briefly, as though confirming, “Are you filming now?”

She tries to smile cooperatively, but the smile is not very natural:

The corners of her mouth lift only slightly and remain there for less than a second.

Her eyes still carry the hesitation of having just been called over. She briefly glances away, then returns her gaze toward her boyfriend.

Her chin tightens slightly.

Her motion of adjusting her cuff stops, and she is unsure whether she should pose.

Holding this reluctantly cooperative faint smile, she softly asks:

“…Like this?”

Her tone is uncertain, with a slightly rising ending.

After asking, the corners of her mouth relax naturally. Do not make her expression change completely and abruptly.

[00:04–00:07 | Upper Body · An Old Memory Gets Brought Up]

Do not cut at any point.

The boyfriend naturally takes one step forward while raising the phone slightly.

The frame naturally changes from a medium full-body shot to an upper-body shot from the waist up, retaining ample headroom.

The off-camera male voice says while suppressing a laugh:

“Just like the day you first met my mom.”

She first has a very brief pause of comprehension.

The faint smile that has not completely disappeared remains at the corners of her mouth.

Her gaze first stills, as though recalling what he means.

Then she realizes that her boyfriend is teasing her.

She looks up at him, leans forward less than half a step, and naturally speaks faster:

“That’s not the same! I was nervous!”

Her tone is the defensive response of someone whose old story has been exposed by a person she knows well. Her volume rises slightly, but she does not shout.

She may instinctively raise one hand to explain, then decide halfway through that it is unnecessary and naturally lower it.

Her expression should mainly convey “a little flustered while knowing he is teasing her.”

Do not suddenly widen her eyes, force her cheeks to turn red, or make her seem genuinely angry.

[00:07–00:10 | Upper Body · She Cannot Help Laughing]

After finishing the previous line, she initially tries to maintain a serious, defensive expression.

She first presses her lips together, trying not to laugh.

After a short pause, a hint of amusement escapes at the corner of her mouth.

She lets out a soft laugh through her nose before genuinely beginning to laugh.

Keep the entire laugh casual and restrained, not exaggerated or explosive.

Her laughter may include slightly broken breaths.

She lowers her head slightly, and her shoulders move gently twice with the laughter.

One hand instinctively rises toward her mouth without fully covering her face.

She turns her gaze slightly aside, as though she does not want her boyfriend to see that she can no longer hold it in.

After a brief moment, she looks back at her boyfriend and says, still smiling:

“…You’re still bringing that up!”

The line is slightly indistinct because her amusement has not fully faded.

After speaking, she reaches toward the phone in a very light mock-swatting motion.

Her palm only passes along the edge of the frame. It does not cover the entire lens or actually hit the phone.

The boyfriend instinctively dodges slightly.

The image consequently makes one brief, very small natural wobble before returning to her.

[00:10–00:12 | Upper Body · Her Laughter Slowly Subsides]

Keep the same shot throughout.

The off-camera male voice suddenly suppresses his laughter and sounds as though he has genuinely noticed something:

“Hey, don’t move. There’s something at the corner of your mouth.”

Her amusement must not disappear instantly.

She first stops what she was saying.

The remaining laughter turns into a small exhale.

The hand raised near her mouth slowly lowers.

Her gaze shifts from relaxed to puzzled.

She looks at her boyfriend behind the phone and pauses, as though judging whether he is teasing her again.

The corners of her mouth still retain a trace of her recent smile.

She softly asks:

“Huh?”

Her expression simultaneously contains lingering amusement and mild concern. Do not make her suddenly become extremely nervous or frightened.

[00:12–00:15 | Approaching · Medium Close-Up · Simple Self-Check]

She naturally takes one step toward the camera.

The boyfriend instinctively steps back half a step and slightly adjusts the phone angle.

The frame naturally becomes a medium close-up from the chest up.

The top of her head, neck, both shoulders, and part of her chest remain fully within the frame.

Never let her face fill the frame.

As she approaches, autofocus hesitates very briefly once, then settles back onto her face.

While moving closer, she asks:

“Where?”

She uses the phone as a temporary mirror.

She tucks her chin slightly and looks near the lens.

She raises one hand and lightly wipes only one corner of her mouth once.

After wiping, she looks down at her fingertip.

She then lightly presses her lips together, looks back up at her boyfriend, and waits for an answer.

Do not add too many consecutive checking motions.

Do not simultaneously generate repeated mouth wiping, licking the corner of her mouth, puffing her cheeks, pressing her lips from side to side, and rapidly darting eyes.

Keep the movements simple and authentic, like someone genuinely checking whether something is stuck at the corner of their mouth.

[00:15–00:17 | Understanding the Romantic Line · Brief Pause]

The off-camera male voice slows slightly. It is gentle, with an irrepressible smile:

“…A little cuteness.”

After hearing it, she has a realistic pause of about 0.6–0.8 seconds.

The pause is not completely rigid, nor does her entire face suddenly go blank.

The hand with which she wiped the corner of her mouth pauses in midair for an instant.

Her eyes remain on her boyfriend, and she blinks lightly once.

Then her gaze briefly shifts to the side, as though confirming whether she really just heard such a corny line.

The corner of her mouth moves very slightly, but she immediately suppresses it.

She slowly exhales through her nose.

The overall reaction should feel like “amused by an unexpectedly corny romantic line while also feeling a little embarrassed,” rather than startled or instantly blushing.

[00:17–00:18.5 | Very Brief Mock Annoyance]

She lowers the hand paused near her mouth.

She first gives her boyfriend a sideways glance.

She makes a soft “tsk.”

She turns her head slightly away and takes less than half a step backward.

The framing naturally returns to a complete upper-body shot.

She may say very lightly:

“You’re seriously so boring…”

Her tone already contains an irrepressible smile, so she does not sound angry.

The mock annoyance lasts only briefly.

Do not make her wrinkle her nose forcefully, narrow her eyes into exaggerated slits, suddenly shrug, or make a cartoonish expression of disdain.

[00:18.5–00:20 | Natural, Shy Ending]

After speaking, she no longer deliberately acts shy.

She first suppresses the corners of her mouth, but then slowly reveals a natural, slightly asymmetrical smile anyway.

She is too embarrassed to keep looking directly at her boyfriend.

Her gaze first falls to the ground beside her, pauses very briefly, then rises to look at him again.

She may raise a hand to lightly touch the side of her face or tuck windblown hair behind her ear, but she must not cover her face with her entire palm.

Her shoulders relax naturally.

She turns her body slightly aside, remaining at a three-quarter angle to the camera.

In a slightly softer voice with a trace of helpless amusement, she says:

“You’re seriously…so annoying.”

“Annoying” does not indicate genuine anger; it is playful denial after being amused by her partner.

After speaking, she lowers her head and laughs once.

Then she looks up and steals another glance at her boyfriend behind the phone.

When their eyes meet, she does not continue speaking. She simply holds the smile at the corners of her mouth and exhales softly.

The image remains in upper-body framing:

She stands slightly turned aside, with her hand near the side of her face or ear, looking toward her boyfriend with an authentic, restrained smile that has not fully opened up.

Do not freeze into a still photograph.

At the final moment, retain slight breathing, natural blinking, moving leaves, and subtle handheld phone motion.

[Sound Design]

Use only authentic synchronous phone audio throughout.

Retain:

The boyfriend’s nearby off-camera voice
The female lead’s natural speech
Their subtle breathing
The female lead’s brief, irrepressible laughter
The rustling of leaves in the wind
Very soft distant environmental sounds
Occasional light wind noise on the phone microphone.

The boyfriend’s voice always comes from behind the camera and never has the studio-recorded quality of off-screen narration.

The female lead’s dialogue naturally syncs with her mouth.

Allow slight swallowed syllables, pauses, and smiling breath while speaking. Do not articulate every word like an announcer.

No subtitles.

No background music.

No enhanced sound effects.

[Final Mandatory Constraints]

The entire film must be a genuinely continuous single take.

All time segments are merely consecutive performance phases within the same shot and do not indicate cuts.

Do not create hidden transitions by having the character block the lens.

Do not suddenly change camera position, lighting, background, character distance, or time.

Maintain this shot-size sequence:

Medium full-body shot
→ Upper body from the waist up
→ Medium close-up from the chest up
→ Complete upper-body ending.

Even the closest framing must fully retain the top of her head, both shoulders, neck, and part of her chest.

Never use an extreme close-up in which the face fills the frame.

Strictly preserve {{Mixed 1}}’s identity, facial features, face shape, hairstyle, hair color, body type, clothing, and presence.

The character’s expressions must be continuous and restrained, with time for comprehension and reaction.

Prohibited:

Suddenly bright-red cheeks
Even pink blush
Shyness effects
Beauty enhancement and skin smoothing
Plastic skin
Facial twitching
Mechanical expression switching
Exaggerated wide eyes
Exaggerated nose wrinkling
Anime-style crescent eyes
Short-video-style cutesy acting
Excessive head shaking and swaying
A gesture accompanying every line
Unmotivated loud laughter
Changes in facial proportions
Face swapping
Outfit changes
Extra fingers
A palm fully covering the lens
Background jumps
Digital zoom
Instant camera relocation
Hidden cuts
Portrait-mode edge errors.

Authenticity takes priority over “executing every detail precisely.”

If a micro-expression cannot be completed naturally, reduce the action rather than replacing it with a more exaggerated expression.
