The Timelapse Shot

[SUBJECT — e.g. clouds over a ridge, shadows crossing a
courtyard, a city sliding from day to night] moves through
[SPAN OF TIME] compressed into the clip. Continuous
accelerated motion, no cuts.

Camera: locked off, [SHOT SIZE], fixed horizon. The frame
never moves; only the scene changes within it.

Lens and light: [FOCAL LENGTH], deep depth of field so
foreground and distance both hold. Light shifts across the
clip — [DESCRIBE THE CHANGE, e.g. day falling to blue hour,
sun tracking left to right].

Tone: [MOOD]. Natural grade that carries the changing
colour temperature without clipping the sky.

No people crossing frame. No text. No flicker. No camera
drift. Nothing enters or leaves in the foreground.
