"style": "Hand-drawn anime, black and white, high-contrast noir",
"format": "16:9",
"camera": "Handheld vlog-style shot from a selfie stick, giving a slightly wider perspective of the character and some background. Natural sway and subtle shake from the extended arm. Camera keeps focus on the character's face while the background softly blurs.",

"scene_description": "The private eye holds a selfie stick in one hand, camera angled slightly above eye level, speaking directly to the lens. He stands under a flickering streetlamp in a narrow alley, wet pavement reflecting the light. His trench coat is open slightly, collar turned up, fedora brim low. The camera captures part of his extended arm and the stick, giving a casual but intentional framing. His voice is steady and deliberate as mist curls in the cold night air. The blurred background shows hints of neon signs and distant silhouettes. Fully black and white, deep chiaroscuro lighting, and fine film grain overlay.",
