Main Subject: Young Korean woman, 20, natural everyday appearance, medium-length dark brown hair in a loose half-up style with wispy bangs, realistic skin texture, minimal makeup, slightly sleepy but cheerful personality.
Wearing a soft mustard-yellow cardigan over a white cotton blouse, dark navy pleated midi skirt, white ankle socks, brown loafers, and a small canvas shoulder bag. Maintain consistent identity, clothing, hairstyle, and appearance throughout.
Location: Quiet traditional neighborhood in Gyeongju on a cool autumn morning. Low tiled-roof houses, stone walls, narrow lanes, small gardens, bicycles, old utility poles, fallen leaves, and a tiny family-owned bakery with a fogged glass window and handwritten Korean signs. No tourists or busy traffic.
Visual Style: Ultra-realistic documentary realism. Genuine candid behavior, subtle expressions, natural movement, authentic Korean small-town atmosphere.
Camera Style: Early-2000s consumer MiniDV camcorder. Heavy handheld shake, imperfect framing, autofocus hunting between bakery windows and her face, exposure pumping between indoor and outdoor light, faded colors, soft contrast, slight motion blur, DV compression artifacts, mild sensor noise, no stabilization.
00:00–00:03
She walks down the quiet lane carrying her shoulder bag, stepping through fallen leaves. She notices the small bakery and slows down.
00:03–00:06
Inside, she looks through the glass display and chooses a freshly baked red-bean bun. Warm bakery light reflects on the glass while autofocus struggles to find her face.
00:06–00:09
She steps outside, takes a small bite, and smiles while warm steam escapes from the fresh bread. A bicycle passes behind her.
00:09–00:12
She continues toward a nearby stone wall, checking the time on her small wristwatch as morning sunlight reaches the street.
00:12–00:15
She notices the camera, laughs softly, gives a quick little wave, and walks away toward the old neighborhood. The operator accidentally points at the pavement before the recording cuts to black.
Audio: Natural ambience only–morning birds, footsteps on leaves, bicycle bell, distant scooter, bakery door chime, quiet conversation, paper bag rustling, soft wind. No music. No narration.
Goal: A forgotten MiniDV recording from 2004, capturing an ordinary autumn morning in historic Gyeongju–quiet, nostalgic, imperfect, intimate, and completely believable.
