Prompt
Create a cinematic production board / visual planning sheet for a 15-second vertical short film (9:16) set in a futuristic cyberpunk Istanbul. The board should feel like a professional director’s pre-production guide, with a clean grid-based layout, clearly labeled sections, and a visually cohesive presentation. Use the provided reference image as the primary opening-scene visual anchor. The opening mood, character design, environment, and atmosphere should be strongly inspired by that image: a foggy neon-blue and purple cyberpunk Istanbul skyline, Galata Tower in the background, rooftop setting, a dramatic male protagonist with tech goggles, and a cybernetic raven companion. The short film should tell a fast-paced, dramatic, action-driven micro-story that begins on the rooftop and escalates into a mysterious chase through the city, ending with an unresolved, suspenseful final moment. Include the following sections: Shared Creative Direction (Top Bar) Show the overall concept and production constraints: Format: 15-second short film Aspect ratio: 9:16 vertical Tone: dramatic, mysterious, urgent, cinematic, action-driven Visual world: futuristic cyberpunk Istanbul Primary color palette: neon blue, violet, cold grey, magenta accents Environment: misty skyline, dense urban rooftops, Galata Tower, Istiklal Street, narrow back alleys, hidden doorway Narrative arc: rooftop awakening -> transformation -> flight -> landing -> pursuit -> mysterious ending 2) Character + Styling Reference Section Present the main protagonist from multiple angles and styling views: A rugged male protagonist in a long futuristic trench coat Tech goggles / visor that he puts on in the first scene Urban tactical boots and cyberpunk accessories Serious, focused, emotionally restrained expression Slightly noir, rebellious, street-survivor feel Include front, side, back, and close-up reference views Emphasize identity consistency across all storyboard shots Also include the cyber raven: Mechanical-organic hybrid raven Glowing cyber eye Black metallic feathers and intricate mechanical details The raven should have a transforming capability It evolves into a compact futuristic flying vehicle / hoverbike-like aerial machine, while still visually echoing its raven form 3) Environment and Set Design Section Show the major environments with visual references: Rooftop overlooking Galata Tower in a foggy cyberpunk skyline Aerial route moving toward the tower Futuristic Istiklal Street landing zone Tight backstreets / side alleys with wet pavement, neon signs, cables, steam, and urban density Final hidden doorway in a dim alley Include a top-down movement diagram that maps the protagonist’s route: Rooftop start Raven transformation point Flight path toward Galata Tower Descent toward Istiklal Street Run through narrow alleys Arrival at mysterious door Mark camera positions, movement arrows, and shot numbers along the route. Storyboard Section (8 shots) Create about 8 numbered storyboard frames showing the full progression of the 15-second film. Each frame should include: Camera type / lens feel Shot size Camera movement Action Emotional progression Short visual note Use this sequence: Shot 1 – Opening rooftop tableau Camera: wide cinematic establishing shot Shot size: wide Movement: slow push-in or subtle drifting motion Action: the man sits or crouches on the rooftop beside the cyber raven, overlooking the cyberpunk Istanbul skyline with Galata Tower visible in the distance Emotion: calm tension before action Visual note: match the uploaded reference image closely as the opening scene Shot 2 – Goggles activation Camera: medium close-up Shot size: medium / close Movement: slow dramatic move or handheld micro-motion Action: the protagonist raises and puts on his tech goggles Emotion: decision, readiness, activation Visual note: lenses glow, subtle reflections of the city lights Shot 3 – Raven transformation Camera: medium wide Shot size: medium wide Movement: dynamic orbit or fast reveal Action: the cyber raven transforms into a sleek flying vehicle while preserving its bird-like silhouette and design DNA Emotion: awe, escalation Visual note: mechanical feathers unfold, body reshapes into a hovering rideable craft Shot 4 – Mount and launch Camera: wide action shot Shot size: wide Movement: fast tracking / acceleration Action: the man jumps onto the transformed raven-vehicle and launches forward from the rooftop Emotion: adrenaline surge Visual note: neon trails, wind, fast departure toward Galata Tower Shot 5 – Flight toward Galata Tower Camera: aerial chase shot Shot size: wide / medium wide Movement: high-speed forward tracking Action: the protagonist rides the flying raven through the skyline, rapidly heading toward Galata Tower Emotion: urgency and momentum Visual note: cyberpunk Istanbul spreads beneath them; drones, haze, lights, and layered architecture Shot 6 – Landing at Istiklal Street Camera: dynamic descending shot Shot size: wide to medium Movement: whip descent / hard landing motion Action: they descend and land in a futuristic version of Istiklal Street Emotion: impact, urgency Visual note: wet pavement, crowd blur, signage, sparks, kinetic city life Shot 7 – Alley chase on foot Camera: handheld or stabilized chase cam Shot size: medium / full body Movement: fast tracking run Action: the protagonist leaves the vehicle and runs through narrow side streets and alleys as if trying to reach somewhere in time Emotion: breathless urgency, rising tension Visual note: tight alleyways, steam vents, neon reflections, urban claustrophobia Shot 8 – Mysterious door ending Camera: medium close-up to close-up Shot size: medium / close Movement: slow dramatic creep-in Action: the man arrives at a hidden door, pauses, then slowly opens it Emotion: suspense, mystery, unresolved ending Visual note: the moment the door opens, cut to black / end of film, leaving intrigue 5) Lighting / Mood / Style Notes Pair visual lighting references with short notes: Foggy neon dusk atmosphere Cold blue ambient city light with magenta accents Wet reflective surfaces Soft haze and volumetric light Rooftop = moody and atmospheric Flight = bright kinetic streaks and motion energy Street level = denser contrast, more visual noise, more practical lights Final door = darker, more focused, suspenseful lighting 6) Mood and Keywords Block Include concise thematic keywords such as: cyberpunk futuristic Istanbul mysterious mission urgency rooftop solitude transformation aerial pursuit urban chase noir tension hidden destination suspenseful ending 7) Audio / Tone Section Indicate the sonic direction: Distant city hum Wind on the rooftop Mechanical transformation sounds Rising cinematic electronic score Fast pulsing beats during the flight and chase Footsteps and breath in the alley Door creak at the end End on an unresolved sonic sting or low suspense note 8) Cinematography Notes Describe the visual philosophy: Vertical framing designed for maximum scale and speed Mix of wide atmospheric shots and tight emotional close-ups Smooth cinematic motion for rooftop and flight, more handheld intensity in alley chase Lens feel: slightly anamorphic-inspired cinematic look, but adapted for vertical composition High contrast with controlled neon highlights Subtle filmic texture and polished post-processing Pacing should feel compressed but readable, like a premium teaser or opening sequence to a larger cyberpunk story Final Visual Goal The entire board should communicate a high-end cyberpunk Istanbul short film concept with a strong narrative arc, stylish world-building, fast pacing, and a mysterious cliffhanger ending. It should feel like a director’s concept board for a premium cinematic commercial or short film, with the uploaded image clearly serving as the opening visual inspiration.
