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.

16mm film look, visible grain, slight light leaks and scratches, warm color, highlights blooming softly, a slightly soft rather than sharp image. Summer in a seaside town: two girls run barefoot along a breakwater, and one of them turns back laughing and shouts, “Hurry, the tide's coming in!” Slight gate weave at the edges of the frame. 5 seconds, no digital sharpening, no oversaturation.

Common pitfalls

The film look turns into a yellow filter.
Grain becomes blocks of noise.
Too much light leak covers the subject.

Parameter tips

Specify the frame (4:3 or 16:9); write the grain as visible rather than just cinematic.
