TOOL · DETERMINISTIC, NO AI
Check the boxes. Get the language.
This one's a machine, not a model — pick what the camera and the subject do, and it assembles the exact shot language in the order a DP would say it. Same picks, same words, every single time. The two frames on the right show where your shot starts and where it ends. Watch what happens when you switch shot sizes: it zooms toward the face, because that's where the movie is.

CINEMATOGRAPHY INSERT
Medium shot, eye-level, shallow depth of field. The subject holds still as the camera slowly pushes in, centered in frame; soft natural daylight.
Paste this after your scene description — and then leave the camera alone. This block owns the framing and the light; if you describe them again in your own words, the two versions will fight and the model picks the loser.
