▸ THE FULL PROMPT
handheld unboxing sequence, POV-adjacent framing from just above the subject's hands, package entering frame already partially opened
subject: hands and lower arms in frame, casual home setting (kitchen counter or bed visible at edges), unscripted pacing throughout
(0-2s) package lifted into frame, subject reacts verbally off-camera to the exterior design before opening further
(2-6s) lid or flap opened, first glimpse of interior — a beat of genuine pause before touching anything, camera holds steady on the reveal
(6-12s) item lifted out and turned in hand, natural close inspection — texture, weight, a specific detail called out out loud
(12-16s) a second, smaller included item or note discovered — the "didn't expect that" beat that unboxing content lives on
(16-20s) item held up toward camera at arm's length, casual sign-off line
lighting: natural overhead or window light, soft shadows, no product-shoot lighting rig
camera: static overhead or handheld POV, slight natural motion, no gimbal smoothness
audio: real ambient room tone, the actual sound of packaging (tape peeling, tissue paper, a box lid), voice audible but casual — no scripted-sounding narration
grain: light phone-camera realism throughout
