Lipstick in the car mirror

RevengeClose-up

Made with this exact prompt · Seedance 2.0, 720p

Close-up of Claire, a 28-year-old woman with a sleek platinum bob, a black satin dress and red lipstick, in the back seat of a black car at night. She reapplies red lipstick in a small compact mirror with a perfectly steady hand while city lights slide across her face through the window. She snaps the compact shut and her eyes lift straight to the camera. Low-key lighting, deep shadows, cool blue with flashes of red neon. Sound: <compact clicking shut>, <muffled traffic>, (one low cello note). No dialogue, no subtitles.

Settings: Seedance 2.0, text-to-video, 9:16, 6s, 720p, audio on

A silent 'armor on' close-up is a revenge classic. You can reuse it every few episodes. She ends looking at the camera, which gives you a clean cut.

She walks back into the gala

RevengeWide

A charity gala ballroom with crystal chandeliers and a string quartet. Three named characters: Claire, a 28-year-old woman with a sleek platinum bob, a black satin dress and red lipstick; Grant, a 35-year-old man in a navy suit with a smug half-smile; and Vanessa, a 26-year-old woman in a pink tweed set wearing an oversized diamond ring. Guests stay softly blurred in the background. 0–5s: Wide shot from the top of a marble staircase. The ballroom is full. Grant and Vanessa stand at the center of the floor, laughing in front of a champagne tower. 5–11s: The doors behind the camera open and Claire steps past it onto the landing. The shot stays wide as heads turn one by one and the room goes quiet. 11–18s: The camera tracks down the stairs beside Claire. She doesn't hurry. Vanessa's smile slips and she hides her ring hand behind her glass. 18–24s: Medium shot on Grant. His champagne flute stops halfway to his mouth. He says in English {Claire? You're supposed to be...} 24–30s: Close-up on Claire at the foot of the stairs, a small, controlled smile. She says in English {Gone? I was. I came back for the shares.} High-gloss revenge-drama look, gold and black palette, soft bloom on the chandeliers. Sound: (string quartet that falters and stops at 7s), <murmurs>, <glass clink>. No subtitles.

Settings: Seedance 2.5, text-to-video, 9:16, 30s, 720p, audio on

This is a whole scene in one 30-second take. It goes wide for the entrance, closer for each reaction, then close for the line. The timed music cue makes the room go quiet right on time.

Three-character reference setup: the envelope

RevengeOver-the-shoulder

@Image 1 is Claire's face and @Image 4 is her full look: sleek platinum bob, black satin dress, red lipstick. @Image 2 is Grant's face, a 35-year-old man in a navy suit with a smug half-smile. @Image 3 is Vanessa's face, a 26-year-old woman in a pink tweed set with an oversized diamond ring. @Image 5 is the living room of the family mansion. Exactly three people in frame, no duplicates. Shot 1: Over-the-shoulder from behind Claire (@Image 1), looking across a glass coffee table at Grant (@Image 2) and Vanessa (@Image 3) on a white sofa. Claire drops a thin envelope on the table. Shot 2: Reverse over-the-shoulder from behind Grant. Claire stays standing. She says in English {Open it. Your lawyer already has a copy.} Shot 3: Close-up on Vanessa as she reads. Her ring hand starts to tremble and she pulls it into her lap. Cool daylight, polished marble, tense quiet. Sound: <envelope landing on glass>, <paper unfolding>. No background music, no subtitles.

Settings: Seedance 2.0, reference-to-video, 9:16, 10s, 720p, audio on; refs: 3 headshots, 1 full-body, 1 location

This copies ByteDance's own setup: one image per job, numbered in order of appearance. Five references fits the four-to-five the 2.0 guide suggests. The headcount line prevents twins.

Courthouse steps, no comment

RevengeTracking

Tracking shot moving backward in front of Claire, a 28-year-old woman with a sleek platinum bob, a black satin dress and red lipstick, as she walks down wide courthouse steps in bright morning sun, dark sunglasses on, a leather folder under her arm. Reporters with cameras crowd in from both sides but she never slows down. The camera keeps her centered in the vertical frame at waist height. Camera flashes, wind lifting her hair. Sound: <camera shutters>, <overlapping reporter shouts>, <heels on stone>. No readable signs, no subtitles.

Settings: Seedance 2.0 Fast, text-to-video, 9:16, 8s, 720p, audio on

The camera moves steadily backward and keeps her centered. That suits a narrow frame. The Fast version is fine, since the reporters don't need to match in later episodes.

The ring, returned

RevengeMedium

Medium shot in a dim wine bar. Grant, a 35-year-old man in a navy suit with a smug half-smile, sits alone at the bar. Claire, a 28-year-old woman with a sleek platinum bob, a black satin dress and red lipstick, walks into frame from the right. 0–3s: She sets a small velvet ring box beside his glass and opens it. Inside is her old wedding ring. 3–6s: He looks at the ring, then up at her. His half-smile fades and his jaw sets. 6–8s: She says in English {Keep it. It's the only thing of yours I didn't sell.} Warm low light, amber bottles behind the bar, shallow focus. Sound: <velvet box snapping open>, <low bar chatter>. Exactly two people in focus. No subtitles.

Settings: Seedance 2.5, text-to-video, 9:16, 8s, 720p, audio on

Short time slots keep action, reaction and line in order. The ring tells the story, so one short line of dialogue is enough.
