# Subtitled monologue, no headline

## What it is

One speaker in one place for the whole runtime with nothing pinned over them — a rolling speech caption is the only graphic and it is mid-sentence at every beat. The frame is either absolutely locked or cut between two or three fixed angles of the same setup; there is no product, no cutaway, no evidence and no second location. Locked, angle-cut and hook-then-dropped are one structure: what defines it is that nothing is held across the runtime and nothing is ever shown.

## Why it works

With nothing to look at and nothing pinned, the never-finished sentence is the only retention device left, so the writing carries every second. The staged setting behind them — the room, the wardrobe, the lectern, the shelf of labelled jars — does the credentialing silently, which is why the speaker never has to prove anything on camera.

## The beats, in order

1. the frame opens on the speaker already mid-sentence, or on one hook card that lands once and is gone
2. the premise is named in speech; the caption turns over
3. the argument escalates one clause at a time in the identical frame, or on a cut to a second fixed angle of the same setup
4. the strongest line lands with no visual support of any kind
5. the close — a gate clause, a question, or the sentence simply left open

## On-screen text

rolling burned-in speech captions, one clause per beat in the identical position, always cut off mid-sentence, often with the spoken word highlighted; nothing is pinned across the runtime — at most one hook card on the opening beat that is gone from every beat after it

## Camera

one speaker in one place all runtime — either absolutely locked with a pixel-identical background every beat, or cut between two or three fixed angles of the same setup; no cutaway, no product, no second location, no camera move inside a beat

## Higgsfield — image prompt

```
vertical 9:16 photograph, {speaker described exactly} in {their own real room or set described exactly}, framed chest-up and square-on, talking straight to the lens mid-sentence, {the staged credential behind them described exactly}, {light source}, phone-camera look, slight grain, no retouching, no on-screen text — {product} is never in frame at any point
```

## Higgsfield — motion

```
camera absolutely static inside every beat — generate each beat from the same seed frame so the background is pixel-identical; between beats either hold the same frame or cut to a second fixed angle of the same setup, never a moving shot
```

timestamps, what carries the value, how to shoot it, and its own prompts.
`frames/` holds the six beats of each as one picture.
