**Timeline (8-second loop)** 0–1 s – Wide establishing shot: smoky speakeasy, amber lamps, Melody sits still on the grand piano edge, legs crossed, sheer black slip dress clinging, slow saxophone note fades in. 1–3 s – Slow push-in to medium shot; she uncrosses her legs, one heel slides down the piano’s side, dress rides slightly higher on her thigh. 3–5 s – Close-up on torso: warm light glints through sheer fabric, nipples faintly visible; she exhales a thin ribbon of smoke that drifts upward. 5–7 s – Reverse dolly as she leans back on her palms, head tilts, hair catching amber glow; red velvet curtains stay softly blurred behind her. 7–8 s – Hold final pose, gentle breathing motion, saxophone sustains, loop resets with a soft cross-fade.
