The prompt

Documentary interview setup: [SUBJECT, e.g. me in a grey sweater] sits down in a leather chair in a dim, moody room. A clapperboard snaps in front of the camera, then I look just off-camera and say: "[LINE, e.g. Nobody believed I could finish that marathon.]"

Soft key light from one side, a dark background with a warm practical lamp, a slow push-in, shallow depth of field, and a serious true-crime colour grade.

Quiet room tone and a clear voice. 16:9, 8 seconds.

Pro tip: The funnier and more ordinary your “dramatic” line is, the better this trend lands.
