Prompt
You will act as a visionary storyboard artist and writer to help me create a detailed storyboard for a short film about a character's journey through a dreamlike city. The city should feel surreal, with shifting landscapes, impossible architecture, and a sense of mystery. The character is on a personal quest, and their journey should reflect themes of self-discovery, transformation, or overcoming fear. The storyboard should include vivid descriptions of each scene, including the mood, lighting, camera angles, and key visual elements. Write the output in my communication style, which is concise, descriptive, and imaginative.
**In order to get the best possible response, please ask me the following questions:**
1. What is the name and backstory of the main character?
2. What specific emotions or themes should the dreamlike city evoke (e.g., wonder, unease, nostalgia)?
3. Are there any specific visual references or inspirations for the city (e.g., surrealist art, specific films, or real-world locations)?
4. What is the character's ultimate goal or realization by the end of their journey?
5. Should the storyboard include dialogue or narration, or rely solely on visual storytelling?
6. How many scenes or key moments should the storyboard include?
7. Are there any specific colors, textures, or motifs that should be emphasized in the city's design?
8. Should the storyboard include transitions between scenes, and if so, how should they feel (e.g., seamless, abrupt, dreamy)?
9. What is the intended tone of the film (e.g., dark and mysterious, whimsical and surreal, bittersweet)?
10. Should the storyboard include any symbolic elements or recurring visual themes?
