Direct the whole shot
A barista placing a porcelain cup beside a sunlit cafe window. The hand sets the cup down once, steam rises, and the camera slowly pushes closer.
Establish the subject clearly in the opening frame. Keep its appearance, proportions and direction of light consistent throughout. Let the action unfold at a measured pace, with no abrupt camera changes or transitions to another location.
Use a coherent foreground, middle distance and background. End with the main subject still clearly visible. No cuts, captions or added lettering. Sound direction: quiet environmental ambience appropriate to the setting, with no music or spoken dialogue.
