Arricam LT, Cooke S4/i primes, 35mm Kodak Vision3 500T, 1.85:1 spherical, T2.8, shallow depth of field, halation on highlights, lifted milky blacks, low contrast, no sharpening, no HDR.

Conclave Red grade: scarlet and candle-gold as the hero tones, dark frescoed marble field inside and pale stone under a cool sky outside, warm brown shadows that never reach black, slanting window light with faint haze; texture clean, no grain. The camera does not move unless a shot says so. Naturalistic performance, no dialogue, no music.

[00:00-00:05] Shot 1: The old cardinal in @Image1, very old, gaunt and upright, in a scarlet cassock with a scarlet mozzetta over it, white collar, scarlet zucchetto and a pectoral cross on a chain, no medals, no orders, no braid, no badges, no lettering, stands among cardinals in the same dress who confer quietly in small groups, mostly old white men, some from other continents, in a frescoed hall with high windows, candle and lamplight on red and gold. He listens with his hands folded and says nothing. Medium wide, standard lens; the camera drifts slowly past the groups. Hard cut.
[00:05-00:08] Shot 2: A thin line of black smoke rises from a small chimney against a blue sky above a great dome and a vast square filled with a crowd seen from far above as a surface, no faces readable. Cool daylight on pale stone. Extreme wide, standard lens. Hard cut.
[00:08-00:11] Shot 3: The old cardinal in @Image2 rests his hands still on a dark table while two old cardinals in scarlet lean in toward him from either side, speaking low; he says nothing. Deep warm shadow, candlelight. Close, portrait telephoto. Hard cut.
[00:11-00:16] Shot 4: The old cardinal in @Image1, the face in @Image2, stands alone in a side bay of the hall, apart from everyone, window light slanting across his scarlet mozzetta and the pectoral cross, no medals, no braid, no badges. He slowly lifts his eyes into the light; nothing else moves. Medium shot, portrait telephoto. Hard cut.
[00:16-00:20] Shot 5: Final beat: white smoke rises from the small chimney and keeps rising, thinning into a dusk sky over the dome, the square and the crowd below as a surface, no faces readable, and the frame stays wide to the last frame. Extreme wide, standard lens.
Audio: Natural diegetic sound only - low murmur of many voices without words, fabric, a distant crowd, wind. No speech. No music, no score.
