Kling framing prompt

Photorealistic documentary-style wide up-tilt shot of a generic suburban backyard, ARRI Alexa look, Patagonia documentary aesthetic. A 3rd-floor balcony visible above on a generic 3-story home (no signage). On the balcony rail: a man, 34, average build, messy brown hair, plaid shirt, jeans, no shoes (slippers visible) holds a clipboard. Beside him: a boy, 8, gap-toothed grin, shaggy brown hair, wearing an oversized lab coat with sleeves rolled up, holds a green-striped watermelon at arm's length over the rail. Below on the lawn: an old mattress with 6-8 pillows piled as a landing zone. A small wind chime catches breeze on the rail. Natural mid-morning sun from camera-right, soft shadows. The watermelon has a generic black smartphone gaffer-taped to its side — the phone screen is a BLANK glowing surface, readout PIL-overlaid in post, do not render text or numbers on the phone. NO signage, NO recognizable architecture. 16:9, ARRI Alexa, documentary realism. (HARD CONSTRAINT: exactly ONE adult man (Dad) AND ONE child (Kid) in frame on the balcony; no other humans visible; no animals in this shot.)

Kling motion prompt

5 seconds, documentary realism. 0-1s: WS up-tilt — backyard, balcony 3 floors up with dad + kid visible at the rail with the watermelon, mattress below. 1-2s: MCU at the rail — kid solemnly says 'Object one: watermelon.' Dad says 'Yeah.' Kid releases. 2-3.5s: follow-macro on the falling watermelon, BLANK glowing phone screen visible (no text rendered, PIL overlays climbing velocity in post). 3.5-4.5s: watermelon SPLATS on the mattress, pieces fly, heavy wet THUNK sound, kid claps once. 4.5-5s: MCU back on Dad writing on clipboard, kid grins. HOLD 0.3s on dad's neutral approval. Natural lighting only. Kid + dad speak the diegetic lines only — no narrator.

Kling framing prompt

Photorealistic documentary-style medium-close-up at the same balcony rail as the prior shots. Same man (34, plaid, no shoes) AND same boy (8, oversized lab coat). The boy this time holds a small short-haired family cat (any natural color — calico or tabby) calmly in his arms at chest height. In the doorway behind them: a woman, 33, casual home clothing (plaid + jeans), arms crossed, GLARING — framed in the dimmer interior of the home, NOT entering the balcony. Continuity carry-over of the splat-zone mattress + watermelon remnants below. ARRI Alexa, mid-morning, natural lighting. 16:9, documentary realism. (HARD CONSTRAINT: exactly ONE adult man (Dad), ONE child (Kid), ONE adult woman (Mom in doorway), and ONE small cat in frame — no other humans, no other animals. The cat MUST escape unharmed.)

Kling motion prompt

5 seconds, documentary realism. 0-1.5s: MCU at rail — kid holds the cat calmly in his arms, solemnly begins 'Object three: the —'. 1.5-2s: doorway behind: Mom APPEARS framed in the door, arms crossed, glaring. Audible throat-clear. 2-2.5s: kid FREEZES mid-sentence, dad's eyes widen in panic seeing Mom. 2.5-2.7s: cat DARTS off-frame in a streak with a single startled yelp. 2.7-4s: dad turns 90° to camera with an apologetic face and says: 'We are NOT testing the cat.' Kid sheepishly puts empty arms down. 4-5s: HOLD 0.5s on dad's camera-look + kid's floor-stare. Mom in doorway, glare unbroken. Natural lighting. Diegetic dialogue only ('Object three: the —' cut off, then 'We are NOT testing the cat.')

Photorealistic documentary-style two-part shot. Part 1 (0-3.5s — at the balcony rail): same man (34, plaid), same boy (8, oversized lab coat) at the rail. The kid this time holds a generic black old iPhone out over the rail. Mom STILL in the doorway behind them, arms crossed, glaring throughout. Continuity carry-over of the splat-zone mattress with debris (watermelon, toaster, crumbs) below. Same ARRI Alexa morning sun. The iPhone screen is a BLANK glowing surface — readout PIL-overlaid in post. Part 2 (3.5-5s — LOCAL endcard composite): dark navy gradient (#0a0d14 → #050810), GPSStats wordmark in cyan center with glow halo. 16:9, ARRI Alexa for the first half; LOCAL for the second half. (HARD CONSTRAINT: in part 1, exactly ONE adult man (Dad), ONE child (Kid), ONE adult woman (Mom in doorway); no other humans; no animals — the cat has escaped.)

Kling motion prompt

5 seconds, hybrid. 0-1s: MCU at rail — kid says 'Object three, revised: an old iPhone.' Dad nods cautiously. 1-1.5s: kid produces an old black iPhone from the bag, holds it out, releases. 1.5-3s: follow-macro on the iPhone falling — BLANK glowing screen (PIL composites live free-fall counter in post, no text rendered by Artlist). 3-3.5s: iPhone SMASHES on mattress and bounces, ECU on destroyed phone with cracked-screen pattern (visible cracks ARE image content, not text). 3.5-4s: dissolve to LOCAL endcard composite — dark navy gradient with GPSStats wordmark fading in cyan center. 4-5s: tagline below, App Store badge, #MadeWithAI microcopy.
