Two planning stills were created separately and are not eligible Higgsfield festival imagery. Check the exact event requirements before producing an actual entry.

Wide shot: The fictional adult caretaker stands under the covered platform, holding one amber lantern in her right hand. She looks briefly down the empty track. Locked camera, restrained movement, constant blue-hour light. Keep the lantern, coat and bench recognizable. No text or extra people.

Closer shot: The same fictional caretaker pauses with the single lantern raised in her right hand. A subtle change in expression suggests hesitation. Stable camera and natural posture. Preserve the approved face, coat and lantern design. No hand swap, duplicated prop or lettering.

Ending: A single amber lantern rests on the platform bench. No person remains in frame. Hold the empty composition with subtle mist and reflected light. Keep the scene calm and readable. No arriving train, added character, text or logo.
