A woman stands facing the camera at golden hour, calm and steady. She holds an unlit cigarette between her index and middle fingers, its tip dark and not glowing, no smoke. She raises her right hand into frame and places the unlit cigarette gently between her lips. Her left hand brings a lighter up to the tip, she flicks it once, and a small flame appears. The flame touches the tip of the cigarette and the tip catches, beginning to glow softly orange with the first faint wisp of smoke. She lowers the lighter out of frame. She takes one slow, natural puff, cheeks drawing in slightly, and the lit tip glows brighter. She then lowers the now-lit cigarette a few inches from her lips and holds it steadily in her right hand, keeping it clearly visible in frame between her fingers. While still holding the cigarette in her hand, she exhales a thin, soft stream of smoke that drifts and curls gently upward. The cigarette remains in her right hand the entire time and never leaves the frame. Her eyes stay locked forward, head almost still, gentle natural breathing. Warm consistent sunset light, suburban street softly blurred behind her. Camera locked off and completely static. Photorealistic, sharp facial detail, natural skin texture and freckles, shallow cinematic depth of field. Smooth continuous single take, realistic hand and finger movement.
