Three-Beat Vertical Story
Turn a simple emotional premise into a coherent short scene with a beginning, reversal, and visual payoff.
Create a [DURATION]-second 9:16 short story about [CHARACTER] who wants [GOAL] but encounters [OBSTACLE]. Use exactly three beats: establish the routine in one wide shot, reveal the obstacle through one motivated camera move, and resolve with a small visual action rather than explanatory dialogue. Keep the same character identity, wardrobe, location, props, weather, and screen direction throughout. Use [MOOD] lighting and natural sound with no music unless supplied. No montage, time jump, extra characters, on-screen captions, or unexplained visual effects.
