[REFERENCE ROLES] @referensnoe_izobrazhenie_wom — strict identity reference for Character A, the female candidate. Preserve exact facial identity, hairstyle, facial proportions, natural skin texture, outfit colors and overall appearance in both present-day interview shots and flashbacks. @referensnoe_izobrazhenie_men — strict identity reference for Character B, the male interviewer. Preserve exact facial identity, hairstyle, facial proportions, natural skin texture, suit and overall appearance. @referensnoe_izobrazhenie_win — strict location reference for the present-day interview room. Preserve the glass walls, large city window, sterile office atmosphere, dark table, two chairs, dirty teal-green and cyan tones, and the overall spatial layout. [WORLD RULES] South Korean live-action psychological thriller with sharp black humor, set in 2016–2017. Present-day interview scenes happen only inside the glass interview room from @referensnoe_izobrazhenie_win . Flashbacks happen in a clearly different office: an open-plan workplace with more desks, coworkers, brighter practical lighting and a more ordinary office feeling. Character B from @referensnoe_izobrazhenie_men must never appear in flashbacks. Flashbacks contain only Character A plus different secondary coworkers. Keep exactly one Character A and exactly one Character B in the interview room. Keep Character A’s appearance stable across all time layers. No music. No subtitles burned into the video. [SCENE GOAL] Start abruptly and immediately establish the core device of the film: polished interview answers contrasted by short hard-cut flashbacks showing the opposite truth. This first 28-second block must include two interview questions and two flashbacks, with no slow setup. [CAMERA AND EDITING LANGUAGE] Begin with immediate tension. Use a cold open, extreme close-ups, sharp shot/reverse-shot rhythm, very brief symmetrical reveals, hard cuts into flashbacks, and quick returns to stillness. The interview room is controlled, minimal and composed. Flashbacks are shorter, harsher and more disruptive. Use hard cuts, J-cut dialogue starts, reaction cuts, and fast visual punctuation. No slow intro. [VISUAL STYLE] Live-action cinematic realism. South Korean 2016–2017 thriller look. Present-day interview room: cold teal-green, dirty cyan, charcoal, muted cream, sterile fluorescent atmosphere, natural glass reflections, deep burgundy blouse as the only strong accent. Flashbacks: clearly different office, more ordinary and slightly brighter, still realistic, still tense, but less elegant and more chaotic. [SOUND DESIGN] No music. Only physically motivated sound. <fluorescent hum, distant city ambience through glass, air-conditioning, fabric rustle, chair creak, controlled breathing, natural Korean dialogue> Flashbacks: <office room tone, keyboard clicks, chair scrape, footsteps, sudden shout, palm or hand impact on desk, coworkers reacting> [SCENE STRUCTURE — 28 SECONDS] 0.0–1.2s — EXTREME CLOSE-UP of Character A’s mouth and lower face, already mid-breath, then a quick shift to her eyes. Start instantly with Character B’s voice in Korean as a J-cut: {스트레스 상황에서는 어떻게 일하시나요?} No establishing delay. 1.2–3.5s — MEDIUM CLOSE-UP of Character A. She answers in Korean with total calm: {압박이 있을수록 더 침착해지는 편입니다.} Hold her face steady. Her stillness should feel slightly unnerving. 3.5–6.8s — FLASHBACK 1. DIFFERENT OFFICE. MEDIUM-WIDE SHOT. Character A suddenly shouts angrily across the office at a coworker and slams her hand down hard on a desk. Keep one main action only. Coworkers react. Character B is not present. 6.8–7.8s — HARD CUT back to Character A in the interview room, same calm posture, same steady face, as if nothing happened. The contrast should land as dry black humor. 7.8–10.0s — MEDIUM SHOT of Character B. He immediately asks the second question in Korean: {팀에서 본인의 역할은 뭐라고 생각하세요?} Keep his tone polite, neutral, professional. 10.0–12.6s — EXTREME CLOSE-UP on Character A’s eye
