SCENE CONTEXT: an epic large-scale battle of an elven army against an orc horde on the dawn grass field below the white-gold citadel. Told in four cuts: a roaring orc, a continuous FPV-drone dive from the giant battle down to a tiny ground-level battle hidden in the grass, the elven hero swordswoman cutting through orcs, then a grand super-wide of the whole clash.
ACTIVE REFERENCES:
<<<image_1>>>: green grass field rising to the white-and-gold spired elven citadel on a misty grey mountain, low dawn sun flaring screen-right, drifting haze. 100% matches.
<<<image_2>>>: appearance reference for the HERO elf swordswoman ONLY (the one seen close-up in CUT 3) — blonde, silver-and-gold leaf-filigree armor, pale-blue cape, fighting only with an elven SWORD (no bow, no arrows). The rest of the elven army is VARIED — both men and women, different faces, hair colors, builds, armor styles and capes, each elf UNIQUE, NOT copies of <<<image_2>>>. 100% matches for the hero only.
<<<image_3>>>: massive grey-green orcs in dark battered black-iron plate, tusks, amber eyes, heavy weapons — each orc UNIQUE. 100% matches.
<<<image_4>>>: forest/plant warriors, carved wooden faces with glowing amber eyes, orange flower-petal manes, green leaf mantles, bark skin, vine-wrapped spears and glowing amber-cored shields — each one slightly UNIQUE. 100% matches.
<<<image_5>>>: STONE warriors woven from grey moss-flecked boulders, craggy carved faces, pale glowing eyes, rope belts, chipped raw-stone swords — each one slightly UNIQUE. 100% matches.
SCALE LOCK: in CUT 2 at ground level the plant and stone warriors are TINY — each about the size of a human palm, miniature soldiers fighting among and half-hidden by towering blades of grass. The elves and orcs are full-size GIANTS by comparison, as tall as four humans stacked head to toe relative to the grass; down low only their massive legs, feet and stomping boots tower above and crash near the tiny armies.
FORMAT MODE: SEQUENCE OF CUTS — CUT 1 … CUT 2 … CUT 3 … CUT 4, described in order. Cuts only at the specified points; the camera does not cut on its own. CUT 2 is itself one continuous free-flying FPV-drone take.
OPTICS:
CUT 1 — 18° tight portrait on the orc, shallow focus.
CUT 2 — opens ~84° wide for scale and speed, tightening to ~47° weaving through the fighters, then macro ~18° at ground level among the grass (deep focus high, shallow macro focus low). No drift mid-segment.
CUT 3 — 47° neutral medium following the hero elf, shallow-ish focus separating her from the orcs.
CUT 4 — 107° architectural ultra-wide, deep focus.
CAMERA:
CUT 1 — locked tight handheld, eye-level, micro-tremor, holding on the orc's face.
CUT 2 — aggressive, weightless, dynamic FPV-drone. Open on a wide SIDE view: a VARIED elven army (men and women) charging from screen-LEFT, orcs charging from screen-RIGHT, the two lines rushing together across <<<image_1>>>, citadel and dawn sun behind. The drone flies fast and low THROUGH the middle of the clash, weaving and banking between colliding elves and orcs, dodging swinging swords, then whips downward and punches between the TALL grass blades to the soil, where out-of-focus grass blades sweep across the foreground and a tiny ground-level battle is half-hidden in the grass.
CUT 3 — fluid tracking move orbiting with the elven hero swordswoman, eye-level, following her blade.
CUT 4 — slow high crane pull-back revealing the full battlefield, citadel and mountain screen-right-back.
ACTION:
CUT 1 — extreme tight on <<<image_3>>>: the orc throws its head forward and ROARS in fury, jaw wide over the tusks, amber eyes blazing, neck veins bulging, spit and breath-fog bursting toward camera.
CUT 2 — up top the giant armies collide: VARIED elven swordsmen and swordswomen trade blows with orcs across the line, swords ringing. As the drone dives into the grass, a TINY ground-level battle is revealed, half-concealed by towering grass blades — a small army of plant/forest warriors (<<<image_4>>> type) charging from screen-LEFT clashing with a small army of STONE warriors (<<<image_5>>> type) from screen-RIGHT: plant warriors lunging and thrusting vine spears, stone warriors parrying and counter-swinging heavy stone swords, leaves and amber embers scattering, stone chips flaking, while enormous orc and elf feet pound the earth nearby, near-missing them. Tall out-of-focus grass keeps sweeping across the foreground.
CUT 3 — <<<image_2>>> the elven hero swordswoman moves through the orc ranks at speed, blade flashing: she parries an orc's heavy chop, spins past it and cuts it down, then drops a second charging orc with a clean diagonal slash, cape streaming. Sword only.
CUT 4 — super-wide grand view: the two giant armies fully engaged across the dawn field, hundreds of varied elves and orcs clashing in a massive-scale battle, dust and haze rolling, the white-gold citadel and rising sun screen-right-back.
PHYSICS: realistic momentum and weight. Giant footfalls send tremors, bursting dust and dew droplets at macro scale; tall grass blades whip, bend and brush the lens in the drone's wake; stone warriors move with heavy grinding mass, plant warriors fast and agile with weighty organic creak; the hero elf moves light and fluid, cape and braids carrying inertia. Mass has weight, correct contact shadows, no teleporting poses.
LIGHTING: cinematic dawn from <<<image_1>>> — warm low backlight and sun flare screen-right, soft mist rolling down the mountain at ~40% density. CUT 1: hard low key on the orc's right side, half the face in shadow. CUT 2: sun glints through the tall wet grass at ground level, giant legs casting moving shadows over the tiny armies, plant warriors' amber glow and stone warriors' pale eye-glow reading against shadowed soil; bright blurred battle bokeh above. CUT 3: warm rim light catching the hero elf's filigree armor and blade. CUT 4: volumetric god-rays through the haze across the whole field. White balance 5000K.
COLOR: cold steel-grey orc iron and stone against warm dawn-gold light; the plant warriors' orange petals and amber cores glowing warm; the varied elven armor catching the low sun in silvers, golds and pale blues; green grass deep and wet, soil dark and shadowed.
AUDIO (SFX only): CUT 1 — guttural roaring war cry, wet breath. CUT 2 — thundering charge, clashing steel and sword rings, thundering giant footsteps overhead, and down in the grass the massed clashes of tiny weapons, stone grinding, creaking wood, scattering leaves, bursting dew, wind through tall grass. CUT 3 — fast steel clashes, orc grunts, cape snap. CUT 4 — vast roaring battle wash. No music.
POSITIVE LOCKS:
- Four cuts in order: roaring orc → FPV-drone dive into the grass → hero elf cutting down orcs → grand massive-scale super-wide. Cuts only at the specified points; the camera does not cut on its own.
- The elven army is VARIED — men and women, different faces, hair, builds and armor; only the HERO swordswoman in CUT 3 matches <<<image_2>>>. Elves fight only with SWORDS — no bows, no arrows, no archers anywhere.
- At ground level it is TWO TINY ARMIES, not a duel: plant/forest warriors (<<<image_4>>> type) on the LEFT versus STONE warriors (<<<image_5>>> type) on the RIGHT, fighting among and half-hidden by towering grass, with tall grass blades across the foreground, while giant orc and elf legs fight and stomp above.
- Each orc, each elf, each tiny warrior is unique. Citadel, sun direction, dawn light identical across all cuts.
- CUT 4 is a massive-scale battle with hundreds of fighters. Dynamic motion throughout, stable readable picture, no ghosting, no flickering.
