A woman falls from a rooftop in a dream and wakes in a bedroom to fireworks over the night city — a cinematic video

Prompt

Duration: 24 sec
Aspect ratio: 16:9 landscape

Overall style:
A realistic cinematic short film: a person has a falling dream at night and then suddenly wakes up in a bedroom. Throughout the film, the lighting comes from the blue-black sky after nightfall, city lights, and fireworks; there is no daylight, sunlight, or golden sunset.

Character Reference:
Use Image 1 to define the appearance, hairstyle, build, and clothing of the sole main character. Keep the appearance consistent in the dream and after waking.
The main character wears white wired earbuds and does not remove them until the end.

Scene:
A high-rise rooftop at night. Along the edge is a low, solid, thick concrete parapet with a flat top, like a low step; the character can simply step onto it. There are no metal railings and no climbing is required.
Beyond the building is a brilliantly lit city and waterfront, with a deep blue sky that is almost black. The character is illuminated by soft ambient rooftop lighting, with the face clearly visible; city lights and fireworks provide background and rim lighting.

Fireworks:
Beautiful large champagne-gold willow fireworks and pale-purple peony fireworks bloom in batches over the distant city. Show the complete process of rising, bursting, and fine golden light trails cascading downward; reflections appear on the water.
At the exact moment the character falls backward, fireworks burst one after another with “砰、砰、砰、砰” sounds. The blooms are distributed across the night sky on both sides of the character, illuminating the sky and the character’s outline without obscuring the face.

SHOT 1 (0—7 seconds) Steps onto the parapet with back to camera, turns to face camera, falls backward with arms spread
Subject:
The main character from the reference, a low solid rooftop parapet, a city at night.

Action:
0—3 seconds:
The main character stands with their back to the camera, facing the city beyond the edge of the building.
They step one foot onto the low parapet first, then bring up the other foot and easily stand upright. Both arms hang naturally at the sides.
The camera films from behind, clearly showing the character stepping onto the top of the parapet, with the city lights of the night in the distance.

3—5 seconds:
The main character turns around on top of the parapet to face the camera.
They are now facing inward toward the rooftop, with the night sky beyond the building behind them.
The camera pushes forward, transitioning from a full-body rear view to a front upper-body shot after the turn. The character looks at the lens with a calm, slightly dazed expression.

5—7 seconds:
Facing the camera, the character spreads both arms to the sides, with the palms naturally relaxed.
After opening the arms, the character maintains this pose and falls backward beyond the building, their face still toward the camera, then transitions into a back-first fall.
At the same moment the body begins to fall backward, beautiful fireworks repeatedly burst across the night sky behind them, accompanied by “砰、砰、砰、砰” sounds.

Environment:
A deep blue-black night sky, illuminated buildings, and a distant waterfront. The parapet is low and flat, the rooftop lighting is soft, and the character’s face is not a pitch-black silhouette.

Camera:
The camera remains inside the rooftop area throughout, filming toward the outside of the building.
First show the character from behind and fully capture the action of stepping onto the parapet; as the character turns, push forward to a front upper-body shot; the character faces the camera, spreads their arms, and falls backward.
Do not move around behind the character in this section, do not suddenly reverse the angle, and do not cut to a side view early.

Style:
Definitive night cinematography with realistic skin. When the fireworks flare, the face and clothing briefly show soft color changes while the background retains its nighttime depth.

Constraints:
The order must be:
back to camera stepping onto the parapet → turning to face the camera → front upper-body composition → spreading the arms → falling backward → fireworks bursting continuously at the same time.
Not still facing away after the turn, and not spreading the arms in a side view.
No running start, crouching to gather force, upward jump, somersault, or accidental slip.

SHOT 2 (7—10 seconds) Falling through the night, side-profile close-up
Subject:
The main character falling on their back.

Action:
7—8 seconds: Cut to a close-up of the head and shoulders from a front-side angle. The character continues the arms-spread pose, face turned upward, hair lifting in the airflow.
8—10 seconds: The character continues descending; the earbud cable and clothing flutter in the wind, the gaze is dazed, the lips slightly parted, with no violent struggle. Fireworks continue blooming one after another in the distance.

Environment:
Building facades with lit windows sweep rapidly past, while the background remains nighttime throughout. Firework afterglow reflects on strands of hair and the side of the face.

Camera:
A close camera from the front-side angle follows the character downward in sync, keeping the face clear. Building lights sweep rapidly upward in the background, creating a sense of vertical speed.

Style:
Realistic weightlessness and air resistance, a calm facial expression, and intense background motion.

Constraints:
Continue the arms-spread pose from the previous shot. It must not become flying, hovering, or horizontal gliding. No daytime buildings or sunlight.

SHOT 3 (10—14 seconds) Front-facing fall, street approaching
Subject:
The main character’s face and upper body, with a nighttime street below.

Action:
10—12 seconds: Cut to a front-following close-up filmed from above the character and pointed downward. The character falls on their back facing the camera; the rooftop behind them, streetlights, street, and car headlights continuously grow larger.
12—14 seconds: The character slowly closes their eyes while the body continues descending. A white car and the road below rapidly approach; cut to the bedroom before any impact occurs.

Environment:
Nighttime buildings and streets, with window lights, streetlights, and car headlights providing spatial depth. The ground is visible but not at daylight brightness.

Camera:
Keep the position and size of the face stable while the background rapidly approaches. At the end, hold on the front-facing composition with closed eyes and match into the next shot.

Style:
The urgency comes from the increasingly close ground, rushing air, and intensifying wind sound, while the character still has a dreamlike, dazed quality.

Constraints:
No impact with the ground or car, and no wounds. No black screen, white flash, or dissolving transformation; cut directly to the bed.

SHOT 4 (14—18 seconds) Waking from the falling dream
Subject:
The same main character lying in a beautiful bedroom.

Action:
14—15 seconds: Hard cut to a top-down close-up on the bed. The face has a similar size, position, and angle to the previous shot; a soft pillow is now behind the head.
The character suddenly opens their eyes, opens their mouth to inhale, and their shoulders give a brief jolt.
15—16 seconds: The gaze refocuses, breathing is rapid, and the fingers briefly clutch the bedsheet.
16—18 seconds: The character looks around the familiar bedside surroundings and realizes they are in the room. The fingers release, the brow relaxes, and the breathing begins to settle.

Environment:
An elegant apartment bedroom at night. Cream-white linen bedding, soft pillows, a walnut nightstand, and warm wall lights. Blue light from outside blends with the warm interior lighting, with the hair spread across the pillow.

Camera:
A locked top-down close-up. The camera movement that continued throughout the dream becomes stable at the instant of waking.

Style:
A natural, brief startled-waking reaction, followed by a gradual return to calm; no prolonged screaming or wide-eyed staring.

Constraints:
The character is already lying in bed, not crashing into the bedroom from the air. Clothing and earbuds remain consistent, and the ceiling and bed are fully intact.

SHOT 5 (18—24 seconds) Sits up, removes earbuds, looks at fireworks outside
Subject:
The main character, an elegant bedroom, and the nighttime view and fireworks outside the window.

Action:
18—20 seconds: Cut to a wide shot of the bedroom. The character uses one hand to brace against the bed and sit up, turns toward the edge of the bed, lowers both legs over the side, and places both feet on the rug.
20—21 seconds: The character settles into a seated position, lowers their head, and slowly exhales.
21—22 seconds: Using both hands, the character removes the left and right earbuds, lowers the hands holding them in front of the legs, and lets the cable hang naturally.
22—24 seconds: Fireworks sound outside again. The character raises their head toward the large window; golden willow fireworks unfold in the night sky, with pale-purple points of light blooming beside them.
The character looks at fireworks similar to those in the dream, briefly showing confusion, then relaxes their shoulders and sits quietly. Hold on a frame where the character’s profile, the beautiful bedroom, and the fireworks outside are all visible at once.

Environment:
The bed and character are on the right side of the frame, with a large picture window in the left background. Cream-colored bedding, walnut furniture, a light rug, sheer curtains, and warm lighting create a beautiful lived-in atmosphere.
Outside are a dark sky, city lights, and reflections on the water; preserve the nighttime setting.

Camera:
A locked wide shot from a slightly angled position at the foot of the bed, clearly showing the character’s profile, the room, and the fireworks at the same time. Do not cut to a separate fireworks-only shot.

Style:
The room is warm and quiet, while the fireworks outside are vivid and brilliant. The tension after waking gradually fades, leaving an open-ended finish.

Constraints:
Sit up first, then remove the earbuds, and only afterward look outside. The character does not stand up or leave. The fireworks are outdoors in the distance, do not cover the face, and do not cause flicker or overexposure.

Audio:
No dialogue, no narration, no subtitles.
The opening has a low-volume, hazy melody, nighttime city ambience, and high-altitude wind.
As the character falls backward at 5—7 seconds, fireworks burst continuously in sync with “砰、砰、砰、砰” sounds.
During the fall, the wind gradually intensifies, while the fireworks sound comes from far away.
At 14 seconds, when cutting to the bedroom, the falling wind sound stops immediately, emphasizing the inhale, breathing, and rustling bedding.
After the earbuds are removed, the music becomes faint sound leaking from the earbuds, while the fireworks outside and the quiet room ambience become clearer.

Negative:
Daytime, bright sunlight, golden sunset on the face, blue sky and white clouds; metal railings, fences, climbing a tall wall, bracing both hands on the wall, sitting astride the parapet; filming directly toward the character at the opening, still facing away after turning, falling before spreading the arms, the camera inexplicably moving outside the building, a side view replacing the front upper-body shot; running start, pushing off after gathering force, somersaults, slipping feet, collapsing wall, fireworks hitting the character; hovering in midair, impact with the ground, impact with a car, gore, passing through the ceiling, crashing into the bed; face swap, outfit change, earbuds disappearing early, plastic skin, melting facial features, extra limbs, fused fingers, body teleportation; prolonged screaming, fireworks covering the face, indoor explosion, overexposure and flicker, pitch-black room, garbled text, watermark, subtitles.
