Veo prompts: Thriller

Establishing aerial shot pushing slowly toward a white lighthouse on a black cliff at night during a storm. The beam sweeps across heavy rain; waves explode against the rocks below. At the base of the cliff, a single parked car sits with its headlights on and the driver's door open. Desaturated teal palette, film grain. SFX: crashing surf, howling wind, a foghorn in the distance.

Close-up inside a parked car at night, rain streaming down the windshield, the dashboard glow lighting a 34-year-old detective with short black hair, an olive raincoat and tired eyes. She holds a phone to her ear. A distorted, calm voice comes through the phone speaker: "You missed one, Detective." Her eyes widen and she slowly turns to look at the rear seat. SFX: rain on the roof, the wipers stopped, a soft click as the call ends.

Over-the-shoulder shot from behind the detective's left shoulder (olive raincoat, short black hair), framing a soft-spoken 31-year-old man with wire-rimmed glasses and a gray cardigan seated across a metal table under a flickering fluorescent tube. He folds his hands, pushes his glasses up and says softly: "I was at the lighthouse. That doesn't mean I did anything." Cold green-white light, concrete walls, a two-way mirror behind him. SFX: the fluorescent tube buzzing and ticking, a chair creaking.

Slow tracking shot following a 34-year-old detective with short black hair, an olive raincoat and tired eyes along the second-floor outdoor walkway of a run-down motel at night, flashlight raised. A red neon sign flickers off and on over the parking lot. Rain drips from the gutter. She stops at a door left slightly open; a thin line of lamplight spills out. SFX: buzzing neon, rain dripping, a muffled TV laugh track from another room. Ambient noise: distant highway.

Psychological thriller, a cramped apartment kitchen at night lit by a single desk lamp. [00:00-00:02] Insert, top-down: hands in latex gloves slit open a plain manila envelope on a wooden table. [00:02-00:04] Insert: instant photos slide out and fan across the table. [00:04-00:06] Insert, macro: one photo shows a woman asleep in her bed, taken from the bedroom doorway. [00:06-00:08] Close-up: a 34-year-old detective with short black hair, an olive raincoat and tired eyes stares at the photo, the lamp lighting half her face, and whispers: "That's my room." SFX: paper tearing, glossy photos sliding, a refrigerator hum, a floorboard creaking somewhere behind her.
