China Travel Vlog Storyboard

[Reference Role] @Image 1 is a 13-panel storyboard grid (Row 1: 4 panels | Row 2: 5 panels | Row 3: 4 panels), read left to right, top row first. It defines three things: (a) the woman's facial identity, hair, and skin; (b) her wardrobe; (c) each shot's location, framing, and lighting. Do NOT reproduce the grid layout, panel borders, split-screen, or collage seams — the output is one continuous edited video showing a single full-frame image at any moment. Do not use any background person from the grid as a recurring character.

[Subject Profile: the Vlogger] Same woman as @Image 1 throughout. Korean idol-like woman in her early 20s, long straight black hair with soft natural volume, fair skin, large bright expressive eyes, delicate V-line face, small nose, natural glossy lips, fresh minimal makeup, warm and approachable expression. Default outfit (all shots except Shot 5): ivory mandarin-collar long-sleeve top with frog-button closures, charcoal wide-leg trousers, small black crossbody bag on a thin strap. Shot 5 outfit only: short-sleeve red silk qipao with gold-and-pink floral embroidery, mandarin collar, thin bracelet on right wrist. She is one single continuous person — never duplicate or split her.

[Visual Style] Authentic smartphone travel footage. 26mm phone lens, deep focus, realistic skin texture with visible pores, mild HDR, neutral iPhone color science, handheld with small natural sway. Unedited candid look: no cinematic grading, no studio lighting, no light trails, no artificial bloom or glow effects, no added motion-blur effects. Imperfect framing, occasional slight tilt, real night grain in low light.

[Shots — timestamps are time budgets per event, not frame-accurate cuts]

Shot 1 (0:00–0:01.8) Great Wall. Low-angle selfie on the stone steps, watchtowers and ridgeline behind her, sky overexposed to near white. Wind lifts her hair, she breaks into a natural open smile mid-frame-adjust. She says in Korean: {드디어 중국에 왔어요...!} Hard cut.

Shot 2 (0:01.8–0:02.8) Forbidden City. Mid-stride through the vermilion gate, golden roof tiles above, wide stone courtyard behind. She turns her head back toward camera without stopping. Overcast daylight. Snap cut.

Shot 3 (0:02.8–0:03.8) Hutong food stall. She pushes a freshly steamed baozi close to the lens, eyebrows raised, mouth open in an exaggerated delighted reaction. Steam drifts across frame, harsh bare-bulb interior light, whites slightly clipped. Snap cut.

Shot 4 (0:03.8–0:04.6) Temple of Heaven park. Seated on a wooden bench under old cypress trees, chin lifted, looking away from camera. Dappled daylight, small lens smudge in the corner, ambient sound opens up for a beat. Cut on natural movement.

Shot 5 (0:04.6–0:06.1) Chinese restaurant, red qipao. Seated at a round table with dim sum baskets and small dishes, chopsticks lifting food to her mouth, eyes squeezing shut as she laughs mid-bite. Red lanterns glowing behind her, warm amber practical light, realistic skin in amber. She says in Korean: {진짜 맛있어!} Cut on the end of the laugh.

Shot 6 (0:06.1–0:07.1) Xi'an night market. Standing in the crowded lane holding a lamb skewer, red lanterns and neon signage overhead, uneven warm and pink light on her face, crowd blurred around her. Small closed-mouth smile toward camera. High ISO grain. Snap cut.

Shot 7 (0:07.1–0:08.1) High-speed train at night. She sits by the window, her face doubled in the glass reflection, city lights streaking past outside. She looks out, not at camera. Slight ghosting on the glass. Snap cut.

Shot 8 (0:08.1–0:09.1) Terracotta Army pit, Xi'an. Shot from behind at the railing, rows of clay warriors receding below, she leans forward slowly to look down. Dim museum hall light. Snap cut.

Shot 9 (0:09.1–0:10.1) ★ SIGNATURE — Sichuan opera teahouse, Chengdu. Profile close-up. A bianlian performer in a painted mask stands on the lit stage behind her. Her eyes widen and her mouth opens slightly as the mask changes; red, violet and blue stage light lands directly on her skin. Rack focus — her face sharp, the stage diffused. Projection on skin only, no bloom. Speed: roughly 60% slow motion. Soft cut.

Shot 10 (0:10.1–0:10.9) Leshan Giant Buddha. Wide low angle, she stands very small at the viewing railing while the enormous carved stone Buddha fills the frame above her. Slight barrel distortion, sky slightly blown out. Sharp cut.

Shot 11 (0:10.9–0:11.9) Jinli lantern alley, Chengdu. Following her from behind down the narrow lane, rows of red lanterns overhead, warm highlights against deep dark shadows. She glances back over her shoulder once, then keeps walking. Cut on forward movement.

Shot 12 (0:11.9–0:13.5) Shanghai skyline. Close selfie, then her arm extends and the Lujiazui skyline and river open up behind her. Wind blows strands of hair across the lens. Her eyes drift off camera toward the towers and her smile softens. Natural night phone exposure. She says in Korean: {이런 야경은 처음 봐요...} Hard cut on the last word.

Shot 13 (0:13.5–0:15) Chengdu panda base. She crouches and holds out a bamboo shoot toward a panda cub. The cub grabs it and leans into her; a second cub pushes against her back and she rocks off balance, bursting into genuine laughter. Handheld, off-centre, slightly unsteady. Soft daylight, green bamboo behind. She says in Korean: {잠깐! 넘어질 뻔했어!} Fade to black.

[Audio] No background music at any point. Diegetic ambience only, changing with each location: <wind over open stone steps>, <footsteps and distant crowd chatter>, <sizzling and stall noise>, <birdsong and rustling leaves>, <clinking chopsticks and restaurant murmur>, <dense night-market crowd and vendor calls>, <muffled high-speed train hum>, <hushed indoor echo>, <opera gongs and audience gasps>, <open-air wind>, <quiet footsteps on stone>, <river wind and distant traffic>, <bamboo rustle and panda chewing>. Her voice is a natural young Korean woman's speaking voice, unprocessed, at real handheld-phone recording distance.

[Maintain Consistency] Same face, same hair length and parting, same body proportions in every shot. Default outfit unchanged across all shots except Shot 5. The black crossbody bag stays on the same shoulder whenever visible. Only one woman appears in the entire video. No on-screen text, no subtitles, no logos, no watermarks, no split-screen or grid at any point.
