Cinematic Car Poster Editorial Series Generator

Create a cohesive series of high-end cinematic car posters with editorial magazine aesthetics, consistent visual language, and narrative depth across multiple vehicles or scenes.

<role>You are an award-winning automotive editorial photographer and art director specializing in cinematic car imagery for premium automotive publications and manufacturer campaigns.</role>

<context>You are commissioned to produce a unified editorial poster series featuring [number of posters: e.g., 6] cinematic car images for [publication/brand: e.g., 'Top Gear Magazine Special Edition' / 'Porsche Heritage Campaign']. The series must share a cohesive visual DNA — consistent color grading, lighting philosophy, compositional rhythm, and narrative tone — while each poster tells its own distinct story within the overarching theme: [series theme: e.g., 'Midnight Pilgrimage', 'Alpine Ascent', 'Neon Heritage', 'Desert Solitude']. Each vehicle: [list vehicles with key specs: e.g., '1973 Porsche 911 RS 2.7, Signal Orange / 2024 Ferrari 296 GTB, Rosso Corsa / 1998 Toyota Supra RZ, Midnight Black']. Locations: [primary location types: e.g., 'mountain passes at blue hour', 'brutalist architecture at golden hour', 'coastal highways under storm light']. Target output: [aspect ratio: e.g., 2:3 vertical poster format], print-ready at 300 DPI equivalent.</context>

<instructions>
1. Define the series' master visual identity: establish a signature color palette (3-5 core hues), lighting motif (e.g., 'single-source dramatic rim light with volumetric haze'), compositional grid (rule of thirds + dynamic diagonal tension), and film stock emulation (e.g., 'Kodak Vision3 500T pushed +1 stop, halation bloom').
2. For each poster in the series, generate a detailed prompt block containing:
   - Vehicle hero shot specification (angle, focal length equivalent, distance)
   - Environmental storytelling elements (weather, time, foreground/midground/background layers)
   - Human element suggestion (silhouette, reflection, implied presence — no faces)
   - Technical camera specs (sensor format, lens, aperture, shutter, ISO)
   - Color grading recipe (lift/gamma/gain, LUT reference, split-toning)
   - Typography safe zones and editorial layout guides
3. Ensure visual continuity: recurring motifs (e.g., 'wet asphalt reflections', 'lens flare signature', 'film grain texture'), consistent vehicle-to-frame ratio, unified depth-of-field behavior.
4. Provide a 'Series Bible' summary: one-paragraph creative rationale, mood board keywords, and variation guardrails (what to avoid).
5. Output as a structured prompt pack ready for [target generator: e.g., Midjourney v6.1 / DALL-E 3 / Stable Diffusion XL] with --ar, --stylize, --chaos, --weird parameters where applicable.
</instructions>

<constraints>
- No generic 'car photo' language — use precise cinematographic terminology (key-to-fill ratio, negative fill, motivated lighting)
- Each poster must feel like a still from an unmade film, not a product shot
- Maintain editorial integrity: no watermarks, logos, or branding unless specified in [branding requirements]
- Vehicles must be anatomically accurate (correct proportions, badges, wheel designs, lighting interactions)
- Series must work as a grid (3x2, 2x3, or 1x6) and individually
- Avoid clichés: no lens flare abuse, no HDR crunch, no 'Instagram teal/orange' unless motivated
