Scene by scene (12 scenes)
Every row is one scene of the finished video: when it plays, the lyric line sung over it, the prompt for the still image, the prompt that animated it, and whether the singer’s mouth was lip-synced to the vocal.

| 0:25–0:34 | I throw my coat across the seat | Wide aerial-style shot of a vintage car moving along a raw coastal road, grey lakeside dropping to churning slate-blue sea, white foam lines, dramatic overcast sky with silver light breaks, no people, muted moss and slate palette, cool natural daylight. | tracking shot following the car from behind as it accelerates around a coastal bend | Scene | No |
