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

Conclave Red grade: scarlet and candle-gold as the hero tones, dark frescoed marble field inside and warm gold stone under a deep teal 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 braid, no badges, no lettering, stands among other cardinals in the same dress who confer quietly in small groups. Only he has the face in @Image1; every other cardinal has a different face, different ages, builds and skin tones, none alike. 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.
[00:05-00:10] Shot 2: A thin line of black smoke rises from a small chimney above the great dome and the vast square, a crowd below seen from high above as a surface, no faces readable. Cinematic dusk: warm gold stone, long shadows, deep teal sky, volumetric light, high contrast. The camera flies smoothly forward through open air over the square toward the dome and the chimney, a controlled aerial glide, arriving closer. Extreme wide, wide-angle lens. Hard cut.
[00:10-00:13] Shot 3: The old cardinal in @Image2 rests his hands still on a dark table while two other old cardinals in scarlet, with different faces from his, lean in toward him from either side, speaking low; he says nothing. Deep warm shadow, candlelight. Close, portrait telephoto. Hard cut.
[00:13-00:18] 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.
[00:18-00:24] Shot 5: Final beat: white smoke rises from the small chimney and keeps climbing into a dusk sky over the dome, the square and the crowd below as a surface, no faces readable. Cinematic dusk: warm gold stone, deep teal sky, long shadows, volumetric light, high contrast. The camera rises and pulls back smoothly through open air as the smoke climbs, the city opening wide below, ending on a high wide view with the smoke still rising. Extreme wide, wide-angle lens.
Audio: Natural diegetic sound only - low murmur of many voices without words, fabric, a distant crowd, wind. No speech. No music, no score.
