Art style: cinematic live-action psychological thriller, A24 x Black Mirror; muted desaturated palette, cold blue-teal tones with one warm accent (yellow lamp, orange streetlight); low-key lighting, heavy shadows, in-frame practical light source (lamp, phone screen, window glow); rain, fog, condensation on glass; many shots through glass and reflections; static or slow smooth camera, crash-zoom on face at shock beats; unified cold LUT</parameter> <parameter name="aspect_ratio">9:16. SETTING: Rapid intercut montage inside Emma's cold apartment and across to the far window — extreme close-ups alternating between Emma and her double. Opening frame: an extreme close-up of Emma's face and wide terrified eyes. COMPOSITION & CAMERA: Upright tight extreme close-up on Emma's eyes, dead center, filling the vertical 9:16 frame, no tilt, designed for hard cuts to matching close-ups of the double, the mug, and the hands. LIGHTING: Emma's face split by cold teal ambient and the warm amber lamp glow on one cheek; the double's matching close-ups in pure flat cold teal. MOOD & ATMOSPHERE: Panic, disbelief, adrenaline spike, the mind refusing what the eyes see. CHARACTER ACTION & EXPRESSION: Emma's eyes blown wide with shock, pupils dilated, a sharp intake of breath, her hand tightening white-knuckled around a ceramic mug. COLORS: Cold teal and blue-black with a warm amber sliver on Emma's face; the double's inserts colder and lifeless. TEXTURES & MATERIALS: The fine detail of eyelashes and iris, the glazed ceramic surface of the gripped mug, skin pores in the cold light, condensation on glass in the inserts. DEPTH & LAYERS: Foreground Emma's eyes and face; shallow blurred background of the dim kitchen; insert frames of the double's identical eyes and the mug in matching shallow focus. WEATHER & PARTICLES: Faint steam from the mug drifting past, rain visible out of focus beyond, cold haze in the air. MICRO-DETAILS: The tremble in Emma's iris, a single tear welling, the whitening of knuckles on the mug, the double's identical unblinking eye in the insert, steam curling. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "cinematic live-action psychological thriller, A24 x Black Mirror; muted desaturated palette, cold blue-teal tones with one warm accent (yellow lamp, orange streetlight); low-key lighting, heavy shadows, in-frame practical light source (lamp, phone screen, window glow); rain, fog, condensation on glass; many shots through glass and reflections; static or slow smooth camera, crash-zoom on face at shock beats; unified cold LUT</parameter> <parameter name="aspect_ratio">9:16" style.
