The Film Stock & Texture Prompt

Give this footage a specific photographic character.

Look wanted: [DESCRIBE — or name an era, format, or quality]
Subject: [DESCRIBE]
How strong the effect should be: [SUBTLE / PRONOUNCED /
STYLISED]

Produce:
1. Grain: presence, size, character
2. Sharpness and resolution character
3. Halation, bloom, or highlight behaviour
4. Colour rendition characteristics
5. Contrast and latitude behaviour
6. Any format artifacts appropriate to the look
7. Lens character that goes with it
8. The prompt text

Rules:
- Describe the characteristics, not the brand name — models respond
  better to "fine grain, warm highlights, gentle highlight rolloff"
  than to a stock name
- Say how strong. Unspecified, models tend toward the extreme.
- Note anything that will make the footage harder to grade later

Then: a subtler version, in case the first is too much.
