## Watch out

- Keep one time of day and one weather for the whole job, written the same in every prompt; a mix makes cuts that do not match. (practitioner; Director Chair field notes on video prompting)
- Add the cold on the person (breath, red cheeks, snow on the shoulders); snow only in the background reads as a set. (practitioner; Director Chair field notes on image prompting)
