A 15-second lighthearted comedy short film set by the ocean, in 16:9 aspect ratio. The scene takes place in the evening at a wooden bench area by the beach, featuring wooden railings, the edge of the sandy shore, waves in the distance, low-lying rocks, and a golden sunset. The footage should have an authentic, candid smartphone-style look: slight handheld shake, natural composition, occasional minor refocusing, and a strong sense of everyday life. Avoid a cinematic or commercial feel; no subtitles or text overlays. Main Character: An adult woman in her early 20s, wearing natural, light makeup with healthy, authentic-looking skin. Her medium-length black hair falls naturally and is gently tousled by the sea breeze. Consistent Outfit: A light blue, loose-fitting denim shirt with slightly rolled-up cuffs; a white crew-neck T-shirt; off-white, high-waisted straight-leg casual pants; white canvas sneakers. A light brown canvas tote bag is placed next to a wooden chair. She holds a brown kraft paper bread bag in both hands—unbranded and without text, with only a small edge of white wrapping paper visible at the top. The same face, hairstyle, outfit, and props are maintained throughout the entire sequence. Seagull: An ordinary white-gray seagull, standing on a wooden railing or low stone pedestal, about 2–3 meters away from the protagonist. It performs only simple actions: standing and staring, tilting its head slightly, calling out once, and turning away. It does not touch the paper bag, does not approach the protagonist’s hands, and does not try to snatch the food. Key Event: She is sitting on a wooden chair by the sea, having just bought a bag of bread to eat while watching the ocean. She notices a seagull nearby that seems to be staring at the bread bag, so she clings to it nervously while pretending to be calm as she gazes out at the sea. The seagull merely calls out once and turns away. She breathes a sigh of relief, only to realize she’s crumpled the paper bag in her grip, so she looks at the camera and laughs self-deprecatingly. 00:00-00:02 Handheld medium shot from a friend’s perspective. The protagonist sits on a wooden chair by the sea, her tote bag placed to one side of the chair. She looks down and places the brown kraft paper bag on her lap, gently opening the top to take out the bread. The sea breeze ruffles her black hair and the cuffs of her light blue denim shirt. The paper bag is opened just a little, revealing no complex food items. 00:02-00:04 Cut to a close-up of a lone seagull perched on a nearby wooden railing. A white-gray seagull stands steadily on the railing, its head tilted slightly toward the protagonist, its eyes seeming to stare at the paper bag. The background features a blurred sea and a golden sunset. The seagull is framed alone, not sharing the shot with the protagonist or competing for food. 00:04-00:06 Cut back to a close-up of the protagonist’s face. She was looking down with a relaxed smile when she suddenly senses a gaze from the side. Her eyes slowly shift to the left side of the frame, her eyebrows rise slightly, and the corners of her mouth freeze. She makes no sudden movements, merely confirming that the seagull is watching her. Keep her face clearly visible; do not let her hair obscure her features. 00:06–00:08 Mid-shot from chest to knees. She pulls the bread bag a little closer to her chest—a very gentle, natural-looking movement. Holding both sides of the paper bag with her hands, it makes a faint crinkling sound. Her body faces the sea, but her gaze sneaks sideways toward the seagull. She tugs the bag only once, without squeezing it so hard that it loses its shape. 00:08-00:10 Close-up of the seagull. The seagull lets out a cry and flaps its wings gently, but does not fly toward the protagonist. It simply turns and hops to the other side of the railing, or takes half a step toward the right side of the frame. The shot freezes, making this action seem like a “false alarm.” It should not swoop down, snatch food, or quickly cross the frame. 00:10–00:12 Medium-close-up of the protagonist. She visibly lets out a sigh of relief, her shoulders dropping. She looks down at the paper bag in her lap and realizes she’d been clutching it too tightly—the opening is crumpled. She presses her lips together to stifle a smile and gently smooths out the opening with her fingertips. Only the bag’s opening is shown; the bread inside is not visible. 00:12-00:15 Medium shot from the friend’s perspective; the camera pulls back slightly. She looks at the camera and flashes a helpless smile that says, “Was I being too nervous?” before gently placing the bread bag back on her lap. In the distance, a seagull alights on or flies away from a corner of the background, and the sound of the waves continues. The scene ends naturally. Action Guidelines: Alternate shots between the protagonist and the seagull as much as possible; avoid prolonged, complex shared shots. The seagull represents a source of psychological pressure, not an antagonist. The paper bag must be free of text or branding, and the bread inside must not be shown in detail. The paper bag must remain in the protagonist’s hands or on her lap at all times; it must not fall. Only one seagull appears; it must not turn into a flock. Do not allow the seagull to approach the protagonist’s hands, face, or the paper bag. Audio: Authentic seaside ambient sounds. Sound of waves, a light sea breeze, seagulls calling in the distance, the crinkling of the paper bag, the faint scraping of a wooden chair, her soft laughter, and her friend quietly stifling a laugh off-camera. No music, no narration, no subtitles. Restrictions: Realism and believability take precedence over visual appeal; no restaurants; no crowds at the pier; no flocks of seagulls; no snatching food; no running; no exaggerated screams; no brand logos, garbled text, deformed fingers, face-swaps, paper bags passing through models, or animals coming into contact with characters.
