# Cinematic Horror Episode Film ## When to use - The user wants a ~30-second, 16:9 landscape cinematic horror episode from a one-liner, episode brief, script, or reference image(s). - The user wants the **next episode** (sequel) of a horror series, preserving exact character appearances, locations, injuries/props, and the established emotional color system. - The user wants a **single-stage revision** of an episode already made with this skill (rewrite the script, restyle the color system, change one shot, regenerate narration/music, remix), keeping everything else untouched. ## Core principles (locked for every episode) - Preserve exact character appearance and continuity: face, hair, clothing, body proportions, distinctive features — across all frames, shots, and episodes. - Maintain environmental continuity through the whole episode: locations, injuries, supernatural effects, props, and time-of-day/weather changes. - Establish the episode's emotional color system up front and apply it consistently in every frame, shot, and grade description. - Prioritize visual storytelling; use narration/dialogue only when necessary and keep it restrained. - Build tension gradually through composition, shadows, camera movement, lighting changes, silence, and atmosphere. - Use cinematic horror cinematography: realistic environments, dramatic lighting, controlled camera movement, detailed visual effects, suspenseful pacing. ## Built-in memory (cross-session continuity) - At the start of every task, call `memory_query` for key `horror_episode_film:series_registry` (and `horror_episode_film:user_prefs` if it exists). If absent, this is a new series — create and confirm a series key with the user (name it from their brief or ask). - Keep a compact **series registry** in memory under `horror_episode_film:series_registry`: series_key, episode list, per-episode character reference asset ids, location reference asset ids, the emotional color system (verbatim wording), continuity notes (injuries, props, world state), narration voice style, and hooks for the next episode. - After finishing an episode — or after any stage that changes continuity (new character variant, new injury, new location) — call `memory_store` to update the registry under the same keys. Store asset ids and one-line notes, never full scripts. - When the user starts a later conversation and asks for episode N+1 or an edit, first query memory to restore the registry, then only work from the stored refs/color system; do not re-derive appearances from scratch. ## Steps ### 1. Understand the request - If the user supplied a reference image (character, location, style frame), call `recognize_image` first to capture exact appearance details, then reuse that image as a reference asset in later steps. - Determine: is this a new series or a sequel? For a sequel, query memory (above) and adopt the stored refs and color system. For a new series, establish a new registry entry. - Nail down the episode working title and a one-line logline; if the brief is ambiguous, ask one short clarifying question before generating. ### 2. Develop the episode structure - Write a compact episode bible: a 3-beat structure — (1) cold dread setup, (2) escalation with a reveal, (3) payoff/scare plus an after-hook — expanded into **6–8 shots of ~4–5 seconds each (total ≈30 s)**. - For each shot record: content, camera movement (slow push-in, dolly, handheld drift, whip pan, static with subtle zoom), lighting change, sound cue, and how it expresses the emotional color system. - Save the bible with `create_document` (name `Horror Episode Film — <Working Title>`, entity_type='documents') so the user can read and revise it. - If the user asked for a single-stage revision only, skip the unchanged stages and touch exactly the requested stage (minimal diff on existing assets/refs). ### 3. Establish the emotional color system - Define this episode's system explicitly (example: "cold teal shadows, desaturated amber
