The technique comes first, followed by the scene, action, performance and duration. Paste it straight into a video model and swap in your own characters and plot.

Strictly symmetrical composition, the central axis running vertically through the frame, left and right mirrored in balance, the camera square-on with no tilt. A long hotel corridor with identical doors and wall lamps on both sides; at the end, a uniformed waiter pushes a room-service cart straight toward the camera, stops, and looks up. 5 seconds; neither side may have an extra object, the horizon strictly level.

Common pitfalls

A slight tilt breaks the symmetry.
Unmatched elements on the two sides look like a mistake.

Parameter tips

You must write square-on and level; symmetry is ruined by the slightest tilt.
