|---|---|---|---|---|---|
td-01 | opening | wide | 16:9 | A fictional acoustic quartet starts a tune in a book-lined rehearsal room. Hold a wide view as the vocalist takes a breath and the drummer taps the first beat with brushes. | All performers stay visible until the first phrase begins. |
td-02 | opening | medium | 9:16 | Frame a singer beside a small desk lamp in a narrow rehearsal nook. Let a bassist in the background nod once to cue the opening. Keep the camera still. | The singer and lamp stay inside the portrait crop. |
td-03 | verse | medium | 16:9 | An indie folk vocalist sings a quiet verse while a seated guitarist plays beside a shelf of paperbacks. Ease the camera forward slightly without changing the seating arrangement. | The two performers stay on their original sides of the frame. |
td-04 | verse | close-up | 9:16 | Hold on a fictional jazz singer from the shoulders up. A warm practical light catches one cheek as the singer pauses between lines and looks toward the band. | Face detail stays steady through the glance. |
td-05 | chorus | two-shot | 16:9 | Two fictional vocalists lean toward separate microphones for a brief call-and-response. Keep both mouths visible and let the listener react only after the other finishes. | The two vocal parts read as distinct actions. |
td-06 | chorus | medium | 9:16 | Keep the lead performer centered while a second singer enters the edge of the portrait frame for one harmony phrase. Use a stationary camera and soft daylight. | The second singer enters without obscuring the lead. |
td-07 | instrumental | insert | 16:9 | Show a short insert of a percussionist brushing a snare in a cramped music room. Keep the hands and rim in view and use shallow but stable focus. | Both brushes remain visible and do not merge with the drum. |
td-08 | instrumental | medium | 9:16 | A fictional keyboard player answers the previous vocal line with a short riff. Frame from waist to forehead so the keys and a quick smile fit in the same shot. | The playing hands and face remain in frame together. |
td-09 | transition | wide | 16:9 | In a small listening room a singer turns toward a cellist during a quiet transition. Use one continuous wide shot while the other musicians wait for their cue. | No sudden cuts or changes in performer placement. |
td-10 | transition | two-shot | 9:16 | A singer lowers the microphone and exchanges a small nod with a guitarist. Keep the two faces on different depth planes and use a fixed camera. | Both expressions are readable before the next phrase. |
td-11 | ending | wide | 16:9 | The fictional band lands on a final chord and lets it ring. Hold the wide frame for a moment as shoulders relax and the vocalist smiles. | Hold the final composition through the visible release. |
td-12 | ending | medium | 9:16 | A fictional singer finishes the last line and steps half a pace away from the desk microphone. Let the camera hold on the performer as the music ends. | The microphone and face both stay within the portrait crop. |
