## Prompt

```text
Using the technique of abstractly expressing characters' emotions through dance, as seen in recently developed Indian cinema dance scenes, create a video portraying the anti-foreigner (Jo-i) enthusiasm of attackers like Shinsaku Takasugi just before the burning of the British Legation on January 31, 1863, set in an Edo town with a Western film atmosphere. Characters should be based on internet research of actual historical figures, with their features emphasized to look like characters in a period drama. To avoid rejection by video generation services, do not include sexual expressions, violence, or elements similar to existing works. The image quality should be a realistic photo from a 1980s live-action Japanese film. Conceive a storyboard and generate 8 landscape images (16:9 aspect ratio) for each shot from Start frame to End frame for Seedance 2.0. n=8. Be bold and comedic, using close-ups effectively. 1980s Japanese cinema look, shot on 35mm motion picture film. Photochemical texture, organic grain, subtle halation, soft highlight roll-off, slightly lifted blacks, realistic contrast, no digital sharpness, no HDR. Use a 35mm cinema camera with vintage spherical prime lenses. Lens style: 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm; mostly 35mm and 50mm for dialogue and observational framing. 24 fps, 180-degree shutter, restrained handheld and tripod shots, slow deliberate movement. Lighting is naturalistic and practical: mixed fluorescent and tungsten interior lighting, slightly underexposed, soft shadows, realistic skin tones. Color palette is subdued and earthy: brown, beige, olive, cream, muted red, with a slight yellow-green fluorescent cast. Film stock look inspired by Kodak Eastman 5247 / 5294. The overall feeling is intimate, understated, dryly comic, realistic, and melancholic, like a Japanese feature film from the 1980s. A video expressing the Jo-i spirit of the attackers like Takasugi Shinsaku just before the burning of the British Legation on January 31, 1863, in an Edo town with a Western atmosphere, using techniques from Indian cinema dance scenes. A musical film with no dialogue. A flashy, up-tempo song like an Indian movie dance scene.
