Create a photorealistic cinematic film still. This is the opening shot of a
live-action film.
CHARACTER: Use the character from the attached reference sheet — Elias Ward,
55-year-old astronaut. Same face, same graying beard, same weathered white
pressure suit with "ODYSSEY-9" patch on the right chest, NASA patch on the
left chest, American flag on the left shoulder, same life-support backpack.
No reinterpretation of the character.
ACTION: Elias has just climbed out of a scorched space landing capsule and
stands frozen beside it, looking toward the horizon. His helmet is on with
the gold visor raised.
ENVIRONMENT: a vast overgrown wheat field at dawn, tall dry grass, a large
white parachute draped over the grass behind the capsule, low morning fog,
no people, no buildings, no animals.
COMPOSITION: wide shot, the astronaut small-to-medium in frame on the right
third, the capsule on the left, horizon line low, empty sky taking the upper
third.
LIGHT & MOOD: golden low morning sun breaking through fog, soft warm key
light with cool desaturated shadows, melancholic and quiet.
STYLE: photorealistic, shot on 35mm film, subtle film grain, shallow
atmospheric haze, muted cinematic color grading. No stylization, no
illustration look.
FORMAT: horizontal 16:9. This image will be used as the first frame for
video generation — leave natural space for the character to move forward.
