[balcony]
Artifact Name: Balcony Overlooking City Park Function: Primary emotional location, breakfast/conversation space, "their space," site of promise and final goodbye Scenes: 002, 003, 004, 005, 006, 007, 008 (visible from park, Marcus waving) Duration in Film: ~200 seconds cumulative (most frequently used location) Recurring: Yes (primary recurring location, 7 of 8 scenes)
Physical Description (PROMPT-READY)
Balcony Dimensions: Small intimate balcony, approximately 8 feet wide x 4 feet deep (2.4m x 1.2m), just enough space for small table and two chairs. Fourth-floor height, approximately 40 feet (12m) above street level. East-facing, overlooking city park with fountain, oak trees, pathways.
Railing: Wrought iron in black (#1C1C1C / RGB 28,28,28), European style with vertical bars and decorative scrollwork at top. Approximately 42 inches (106cm) tall, standard safety height. Slightly weathered, some rust patina on undersides (authentic aging). Geometric pattern creates visual "cage" effect in wider shots.
Floor: Terracotta tiles in burnt sienna (#E07B53 / RGB 224,123,83 / Pantone 7576 C), 12-inch square tiles, slightly worn, weathered by sun and rain. Warm Mediterranean feel. Some tiles slightly faded, adding character.
Table: Small round bistro table, approximately 24 inches (61cm) diameter, in wrought iron (#2C2C2C / RGB 44,44,44) matching railing. Glass top, clear, approximately 1/4 inch thick, allows light to pass through. Two place settings: white ceramic plates, white ceramic cups (coffee), newspaper, wooden bread board, small glass vase with single white flower (gardenia or white rose).
Chairs: Two matching bistro chairs in wrought iron (#2C2C2C), with curved backs and simple cushions in soft taupe linen (#D4C5B0 / RGB 212,197,176 / Pantone 7530 C). Intimate proximity, positioned facing each other across small table.
Plants/Herbs: Small terracotta pots (matching floor tiles in burnt sienna #E07B53) positioned on floor near railing corners. Contents: rosemary (4 inches tall, silvery green), thyme (spreading, small purple flowers). Herbs = domestic permanence, life, ironic against Anna's impending departure.
Blanket: Cream wool blanket (#F5F5DC / RGB 245,245,220 / Pantone 11-0107 TCX) draped over back of one chair, used in Scene 004 (Marcus wraps around both shoulders). Soft, tactile, intimate.
White Flower: Single white flower (gardenia or white rose) in small clear glass vase (3 inches tall, simple cylinder) on table. White petals (#FFFFFF), fresh, symbolic (funerals, mourning, death in plain sight). Marcus doesn't question it — Anna often brings flowers.
View Beyond Railing: City park visible below and ahead (east). Park features: central fountain (approximately 100 yards / 91m away), oak trees with spreading canopy, pathways in slate gray (#6B7B8C), benches beneath trees, green grass and foliage. Morning joggers, park life continuing, normalcy. Sky above park: powder blue (#B0E0E6) with soft clouds.
Lighting (varies by scene timing):
- Dawn (0:35-1:15, Scenes 003-004): Golden hour beginning, amber (#FFBF00 / RGB 255,191,0) and honey gold (#EAA221 / RGB 234,162,33) flooding balcony from east (rising sun), 5500K, warm and radiant, three-quarter backlight creating rims on hair/shoulders
- Breakfast/Midpoint (1:15-2:15, Scenes 004-006): Peak golden hour, sun-soaked yellow (#FFD662 / RGB 255,214,98), champagne gold (#F7E7CE / RGB 247,231,206), ethereal gold (#FFE5B4 / RGB 255,229,180), 6000K, saturated warmth, dreamlike suspended-time quality, low contrast (1.5:1 ratio), almost too beautiful
- Morning Hardens (2:30-4:00, Scene 007): Light cooling, pale yellow (#FFF4B7 / RGB 255,244,183), soft white (#F5F5F0 / RGB 245,245,240), 5000K, neutral daylight, losing dream quality, contrast increasing (3:1 ratio)
- Departure View (4:00-5:00, Scene 008, from park looking up): Pale yellow (#FFF4B7), 5000K, distant, Marcus small on balcony reading newspaper, waving down, oblivious
Mood: Intimate sanctuary, "their space" (site of proposal, morning coffee ritual), threshold between interior (domestic life, past) and exterior (park, death, future). Suspended time, bubble of normalcy masking interior turmoil. As film progresses: warmth → cooling → distance. Balcony = emotional container for entire story.

[bathroom]
Artifact Name: Bathroom with Mirror Function: Private truth space, Anna's breaking moment, threshold between performance and reality Scenes: 005 (The Illusion of Normal - bathroom break scene) Duration in Film: ~15 seconds Recurring: No (single use, critical emotional beat)
Physical Description (PROMPT-READY)
Room Dimensions: Small bathroom, approximately 6 feet x 8 feet (1.8m x 2.4m), efficient European apartment bathroom. Single door (west side, connecting to apartment hallway).
Walls: Soft white tiles (#F5F5F0 / RGB 245,245,240 / Pantone 11-0602 TCX Brilliant White), 6-inch square ceramic tiles, matte finish (not glossy, too clinical). Grout in light gray (#D3D3D3 / RGB 211,211,211). Clean, simple, functional. No decoration, no warmth — this is utilitarian space, which makes Anna's breaking more stark.
Mirror: Large rectangular mirror above sink, approximately 24 inches wide x 36 inches tall (61cm x 91cm), silver-backed (slightly aged, not perfectly clear, subtle distortion suggesting distortion of self Anna fears). Frame in simple brushed nickel (#B8B8B8 / RGB 184,184,184). Mirror reflects Anna's face and overhead light — confrontation with self, truth visible.
Sink: Wall-mounted ceramic sink in white (#FAFAFA / RGB 250,250,250), simple European style, no cabinet beneath (exposed plumbing). Chrome faucet in polished silver (#C0C0C0 / RGB 192,192,192). Single cold/hot mixer tap. Edges of sink = where Anna's hands grip (knuckles white, tension visible).
Overhead Light: Single ceiling-mounted fixture, frosted glass dome in white (#F5F5F5), approximately 12 inches diameter. Bulb: LED daylight 5000K, slightly harder light than rest of apartment (more revealing, less forgiving). Creates slight shadows under eyes, top-down lighting emphasizes vulnerability.
Floor: Same honey oak hardwood (#C9A76C / RGB 201,167,108) as rest of apartment, continuous. Small bath mat in soft taupe (#D4C5B0 / RGB 212,197,176) in front of sink (not visible in main shots).
Door: Wooden door in white painted wood (#FAFAFA), simple panel design, brushed nickel handle matching mirror frame. Door = threshold motif (crossing from balcony performance to bathroom truth, then back to balcony performance after washing face).
Towel: Single hand towel hanging on bar beside sink, in light gray linen (#9B9B9B / RGB 155,155,155), simple, functional.
Lighting: Overhead practical at 5000K (cooler than golden balcony at 6000K), slightly harder top-down light creating shadows under eyes (revealing rather than forgiving). Natural window light absent (no window in bathroom, interior room). Contrast ratio: 4:1 (higher contrast than balcony, more clinical, truth-revealing).
Mood: Clinical, private, truth-confronting. This is the only space Anna allows herself to break. Bathroom = boundary between public performance (balcony with Marcus) and private truth (facing future deterioration in mirror). Harder light = less forgiving = reality unmasked. Utilitarian simplicity makes emotional breaking more stark (no warmth to soften vulnerability).
Spatial Geography
- Door: West wall, connecting to apartment hallway
- Sink: North wall, centered, mirror above
- Mirror: Above sink, Anna's reflection visible
- Overhead Light: Ceiling center, directly above sink
- Camera Position: Facing sink and mirror (south side), capturing Anna at sink, mirror reflection, door behind camera
Key Sight Lines:
- Anna's POV: Mirror reflection, seeing her own face, confronting future deterioration
- Camera POV: Anna at sink, hands gripping edges, mirror showing face, overhead light creating shadows
- Mirror reflection: Anna's face, eyes, vulnerability visible (double image = performed self vs. hidden self)
Color Palette Summary

Foliage in pale green (#C1E1C1 / RGB 193,225,193 / Pantone 558 C, early October, some leaves beginning to turn golden yellow #FFD662 and burnt sienna #E97451, seasonal transition = life/death symbolism).
Anna's Bench: Wooden park bench beneath large oak tree, secluded but with clear view of balcony above (approximately 40 feet up, 100 yards away). Bench in weathered teak wood (#8B5A3C / RGB 139,90,60), approximately 6 feet long, slatted back and seat, wrought iron legs in black (#1C1C1C). Slightly worn, comfortable, public but peaceful. Positioned on grass, slightly off main pathway. Oak tree overhead provides dappled shade. This is where Anna will die.
Pathways: Winding pathways throughout park in slate gray gravel (#6B7B8C), well-maintained, approximately 6 feet wide. Paths connect fountain, benches, park entrances. Morning joggers use paths, life continuing, normalcy. Anna crosses pathway to reach bench.
Grass and Foliage: Green grass in pale green (#C1E1C1 / Pantone 558 C), well-maintained, slightly dewy in early morning. Shrubs and lower plantings in darker green (#556B2F / RGB 85,107,47), natural, not overly manicured. Fallen oak leaves on grass near Anna's bench (early October, seasonal transition).
Sky: Powder blue (#B0E0E6 / RGB 176,224,230 / Pantone 2197 C) with soft white clouds (#F0F0F0), open air, neutral witness. Cooler than warm balcony tones, suggesting shift from intimacy to open public space, private to universal.
Street Violinist (Scene 007-008): Young woman, approximately 20s, positioned near fountain. Violin case open on ground (collecting tips). Playing Vivaldi "Four Seasons: Autumn" — technically perfect, emotionally hollow (competence vs. artistry, Anna's critique). Violinist continues playing through Anna's death (diegetic sound, last thing Anna hears). Dressed casually, dark jeans and cream sweater, unaware of drama unfolding nearby.
Lighting (Scene 008, late morning):
- Color Temperature: 4500K (cool daylight, overcast quality, returning to truth after warm balcony)
- Quality: Soft overhead natural light, sky dome fill, dappled sunlight through oak leaves creating gentle patterns on Anna and bench
- Contrast Ratio: 3:1 (neutral, muted, realistic, no dramatic shadows)
- Key Light: Sun at 4500K, diffused through oak canopy, creating gentle top/side light on Anna
- Fill Light: Sky dome, open air, soft ambient
- Rim Light: Dappled sunlight creating subtle rim on Anna's hair and shoulders
Mood: Public normalcy masking private tragedy. Life continuing (joggers, violinist, park maintenance) while Anna dies peacefully on bench. Nature indifferent, beautiful, open. Park = death waiting patiently in background throughout film, transitioning to foreground as inevitability approaches. Shift from intimate warm balcony (private love) to open cool park (universal mortality). Anna looks peaceful, as if sleeping (dignity, not horror). Oak tree = grounding, ancient, witnessing.
Spatial Geography
- Fountain: Center of park, approximately 100 yards (91m) east of apartment building, visible from balcony
- Pathways: Winding through park, connecting fountain, benches, entrances
- Anna's Bench: Southeast section of park, beneath large oak tree, secluded but with view of balcony (approximately 40 feet up, 100 yards west)
- Street Violinist: Near fountain, visible from bench, audible throughout park
- Balcony: Visible in distance (west/northwest), fourth floor, Marcus small and distant
- Camera Positions:
- Wide establishing: From park entrance or pathway, showing fountain, trees, benches, balcony in far background
- Anna's journey: Tracking Anna crossing street, passing violinist, approaching bench
- Bench scene: Medium and close-ups of Anna on bench, violin case beside her, oak tree overhead, balcony visible in background
- Final wide: From Anna's bench POV or objective wide, showing Anna on bench (foreground) and Marcus on balcony (tiny background) simultaneously
Key Sight Lines:
- From bench looking west/up: Balcony visible, fourth floor, Marcus small and distant, waving
- From balcony looking east/down: Park visible, fountain, trees, benches (but not Anna's specific bench clearly — Marcus doesn't see her)
- Wide objective: Both balcony (upper background) and bench (lower foreground) in single frame = devastating split-screen of realities

Master Prompt (for AI image generation)
Photorealistic photograph of a medium-sized European urban park, approximately 2 acres, Vienna/Prague/Barcelona aesthetic, early October morning. Well-maintained public park with winding slate gray gravel pathways (#6B7B8C), green grass in pale green (#C1E1C1), mature oak trees (40-50 feet tall) with spreading canopy, dark brown trunks (#3D2817) and ash gray bark (#A9A9A9), foliage in pale green with some early autumn golden yellow (#FFD662) and burnt sienna (#E97451) leaves beginning to turn and fall. Central circular stone fountain approximately 100 yards distant, slate gray weathered limestone (#6B7B8C), 15-foot diameter basin, 6-foot central spout, water flowing gently. Young street violinist (woman, 20s) performing near fountain, dark jeans and cream sweater, violin case open on ground, playing Vivaldi "Autumn" (technically perfect, emotionally hollow). Wooden park bench in foreground beneath large oak tree, weathered teak wood (#8B5A3C), 6 feet long, slatted back and seat, black wrought iron legs (#1C1C1C), slightly worn, comfortable, secluded but peaceful, positioned on grass slightly off main pathway. Oak tree overhead creating dappled shade on bench. Fallen oak leaves on grass around bench. Morning joggers on pathways, life continuing, normalcy. Sky: powder blue (#B0E0E6) with soft white clouds (#F0F0F0), open air. In far background (west/northwest, approximately 100 yards), fourth-floor apartment balcony barely visible, tiny, distant. Lighting: Late morning, 4500K cool daylight, soft overhead natural light diffused through oak canopy creating dappled sunlight patterns on bench and grass, gentle top/side light, contrast ratio 3:1 (neutral, muted, realistic), sky dome fill, no harsh shadows, open air quality. Mood: Public normalcy, life continuing, nature indifferent and beautiful, open space contrasting intimate balcony warmth, park as site of peaceful death awaiting (bench = destination, fountain = anchor, oak tree = witness). Empty bench awaiting arrival, violin case space beside bench for placement. European city aesthetic, public park, accessible, morning foot traffic visible. Aspect ratio: 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen. Shot on ARRI Alexa Mini LF with Cooke S4/i 35mm lens, T5.6 aperture for deep depth of field (showing fountain and bench and distant balcony all in focus), Black Pro-Mist 1/8 filter for gentle softening, natural outdoor cinematography. Cinematography inspired by Gregory Oke (Aftersun) naturalistic lighting and Claire Mathon (Portrait of a Lady on Fire) intimate observation, but cooler tones acknowledging truth/finality. Establishing wide showing full park geography with bench beneath oak tree as visual anchor.
Location Artifact Summary
Total Locations: 5 unique environments Total Recurring Locations: 3 (living-room-kitchen, balcony, park) Single-Use Locations: 2 (bedroom, bathroom) Most Frequently Used: [balcony] (~200 seconds cumulative, 7 of 8 scenes) Emotional Anchor: [balcony] (primary emotional container, "their space") Final Destination: [park] (background presence → foreground ending, symbolic shift)
Color Temperature Progression Across Locations:
- Bedroom (4000K) - Cool pre-dawn truth
- Living-room-kitchen (4000K → 5500K) - Warming with sunrise
- Balcony (5500K → 6000K → 5000K) - Peak warmth → cooling reality
- Bathroom (5000K) - Clinical neutral, private truth
- Park (4500K) - Cool daylight, return to truth, public mortality
Visual Motifs Across Locations:
- Thresholds: Doorways (bedroom → living room, living room → balcony, balcony → bathroom, apartment → park) = transitions between truth and performance
- Warm Interior → Cool Exterior: Apartment warmth (cream, taupe, honey oak, golden light) → Park coolness (grays, greens, powder blue, muted light) = private intimacy → public mortality
- Visibility of Park: Park always visible from balcony (background presence, death waiting) → Park becomes foreground (inevitability approaches)
- Height: Fourth-floor balcony (elevated, separate from mortality) → Ground-level park bench (returning to earth, mortality accepted)
