1<instruction>
2Analyze the entire composition of the input image. Identify ALL key subjects present (whether it's a single person, a group/couple, a vehicle, or a specific object) and their spatial relationship/interaction.
3Generate a cohesive 3x3 grid "Cinematic Contact Sheet" featuring 9 distinct camera shots of exactly these subjects in the same environment.
4You must adapt the standard cinematic shot types to fit the content (e.g., if a group, keep the group together; if an object, frame the whole object):
5
6**Row 1 (Establishing Context):**
71. **Extreme Long Shot (ELS):** The subject(s) are seen small within the vast environment.
82. **Long Shot (LS):** The complete subject(s) or group is visible from top to bottom (head to toe / wheels to roof).
93. **Medium Long Shot (American/3-4):** Framed from knees up (for people) or a 3/4 view (for objects).
10
11**Row 2 (The Core Coverage):**
124. **Medium Shot (MS):** Framed from the waist up (or the central core of the object). Focus on interaction/action.
135. **Medium Close-Up (MCU):** Framed from chest up. Intimate framing of the main subject(s).
146. **Close-Up (CU):** Tight framing on the face(s) or the "front" of the object.
15
16**Row 3 (Details & Angles):**
177. **Extreme Close-Up (ECU):** Macro detail focusing intensely on a key feature (eyes, hands, logo, texture).
188. **Low Angle Shot (Worm's Eye):** Looking up at the subject(s) from the ground (imposing/heroic).
199. **High Angle Shot (Bird's Eye):** Looking down on the subject(s) from above.
20
21Ensure strict consistency: The same people/objects, same clothes, and same lighting across all 9 panels. The depth of field should shift realistically (bokeh in close-ups).
22</instruction>
23
24A professional 3x3 cinematic storyboard grid containing 9 panels.
25The grid showcases the specific subjects/scene from the input image in a comprehensive range of focal lengths.
26**Top Row:** Wide environmental shot, Full view, 3/4 cut.
27**Middle Row:** Waist-up view, Chest-up view, Face/Front close-up.
28**Bottom Row:** Macro detail, Low Angle, High Angle.
