THE GIANT FIRE ROLL 13s, 1:1, 30fps, 7 hard cut shots. Photoreal handheld, harsh midday sun, South Asian cooking yard, iron trough over wood fire, bubbling ghee.
AYAAN: man 32, brown skin, short black hair, trimmed beard, calm, never comic. Face and build identical every shot; clothes change only after a cut, never on camera. KABIR: man 30, stubble, off-camera until S7.
ROLL: 2m masala roll, 38cm thick, spiral scoring identical throughout, heavy enough to bend posture; crust advances pale gold to charred.
S1 0-1.55 24mm wide. Beige sleeveless kurta, olive dhoti, red gamcha. Ayaan strides at lens, raw roll on shoulder. KABIR: "That's lunch?" AYAAN into lens: "For now."
S2 1.55-3.1 28mm low. White shirt, leather apron, headwrap. Roll hits ghee, violent sizzle, steam at lens. AYAAN: "Stand back."
S3 3.1-4.7 35mm high diagonal down the trough. Emerald kurta, rust waistcoat. Copper ladle throws butter along the spiral. KABIR: "New clothes?" AYAAN: "New stage."
S4 4.7-6.25 50mm low tracking above the rim. Chef jacket, red bandana. Firewood dropped under the trough, flame rolls beneath. AYAAN: "More fire."
S5 6.25-8 35mm handheld, whip-pan down. Charcoal shirt, goggles. Two hooks turn the roll a quarter turn, metal shrieks. KABIR: "Too much!" AYAAN: "Almost."
S6 8-10.25 28mm wide. Cream kurta, cobalt waistcoat. Knife cracks crust. 65mm macro: steam, paneer, vegetables, molten cheese. AYAAN: "Taste it."
S7 10.25-13 50mm two-shot. Maroon sherwani; Kabir in denim shirt. He bites, crunch, eyes widen. KABIR: "Bigger tomorrow?" AYAAN, looking past him: "Behind you." Fast pan to a cart 8m away holding a 4m raw roll, cart bowing. Black at 13.00.
AUDIO diegetic only: dialogue, sand steps, fire crackle, sizzle, steam, metal scrape, knife crack, crunch. No music.
LAST FRAME: black, no on-screen text, captions, subtitles, logos or watermarks.
NEGATIVE: music, text, dissolves, slow motion, drone, on-camera wardrobe morph, face change, extra fingers, crowd, glossy ad.
