global_rule: No music, diegetic SFX only. [IMAGE] is the scene reference — massive 250 fireworks over city skyline reflected in harbor water, crowds on waterfront. SCENE: From within the crowd on the waterfront, a fireworks display builds to the climactic 250 formation. The crowd is ALWAYS seen from behind, facing the fireworks, never turning toward camera. CAMERA MOVE 1 — Handheld behind the crowd, looking over their heads and raised arms toward the sky above the harbor. SUBJECT ACTION 1 — The camera is positioned BEHIND the crowd, looking over their silhouetted heads toward the harbor and sky. Raised hands, phones, and waving arms frame the fireworks above. Shells detonate in red, white, and blue. The crowd faces AWAY from camera at all times, watching the display. Their silhouettes darken as the sky explodes with color behind them. LIGHTING — The crowd is in silhouette, backs to camera, the fireworks illuminating them from the front. Each detonation lights the backs of their heads and shoulders in alternating red, white, blue. Heavy halation on every burst. CAMERA MOVE 2 — Camera tilts up past the crowd's heads to the sky, now seeing the full display. SUBJECT ACTION 2 — The display intensifies. Shells launch in rapid succession, trails streaking upward from the harbor. Multiple detonations overlap. Smoke builds. Through the smoke, the trails begin converging into a pattern. The crowd gasps collectively — we hear them but see only the backs of their heads reacting. LIGHTING — Increasing brightness, smoke glows from within, colors bleeding together. CAMERA MOVE 3 — Camera holds on the sky as the 250 forms. SUBJECT ACTION 3 — The 2 explodes in cascading red. The crowd cheers. The 5 blazes in brilliant white. The cheer doubles. The 0 detonates in deep blue. The cheer becomes a ROAR. The full 250 hangs in the sky, impossibly bright, sparks raining down like golden snow. The crowd's raised fists and arms are silhouetted against the blazing number. LIGHTING — The 250 illuminates everything. Maximum bloom and halation. The crowd remains backlit silhouettes against the spectacle. CAMERA MOVE 4 — Camera slowly lowers back to crowd level, now seeing the backs of heads and shoulders, the 250 glowing above them. SUBJECT ACTION 4 — From behind, we see the crowd's silhouettes — arms around each other's shoulders, children lifted up, hands pointing — all facing the 250 and its perfect reflection in the harbor water. Golden sparks drift down onto them from above. They remain facing away, united, watching together. LIGHTING — Warm golden afterglow from the fading 250, the crowd as dark silhouettes with golden rim light on their backs and hair. FINAL STATE — The crowd from behind, silhouetted against the glowing 250 and its harbor reflection. DEPTH OF FIELD — Shallow on crowd silhouettes, fireworks soft and blazing beyond. QUALITY — Prismatic light refraction, heavy bloom, extreme saturation, vignette, chromatic aberration, halation. FORMAT — Anamorphic 21:9 cinematic footage. AUDIO — Crowd murmuring building to gasps, escalating booms, crackling, the collective ROAR when 250 forms, sparks hissing, settling awe.
