@image 1 as model, @image 2 as exact product.
Keep the product identical to @image 2 — same matte tortoiseshell acetate, wide interlocking jaw,
steel spring hinge — in every frame.
CRITICAL: never show the clip being put into or taken out of her hair. Beat 1 has no clip and hair
fully loose; from beat 3 onward the clip is already seated. All state changes happen on hard cuts.
Her hair is very long, straight, fine and black with a centre part in every beat — do not change its
length, colour or texture at any point.
0:00–0:03 — Front-camera selfie at arm's length. Hair fully loose past her shoulders. She gathers it
in one hand, holds it up, and lets it drop — it slides straight back down. Straight to camera: "My
hair's down to my waist and it's fine. It slides out of everything."
0:03–0:06 — Hard cut to a tighter selfie, hair still fully loose. She holds the clip up at chest
height, well away from her head, and works the jaw open and shut once with her thumb. "Two other clips
and about forty bobby pins. This is the one that held."
0:06–0:09 — Hard cut. Phone propped, locked-off static shot from behind her at the back of her head:
the clip already seated, holding a thick twist of hair, jaw fully engaged and the spring visibly under
load. Slow push in on the hinge. Hard cut, same propped framing — she moves her head firmly left and
right twice and the clip does not shift. No face. No dialogue. Quiet room tone only.
0:09–0:12 — Front-camera selfie, framed identically to the opening beat, hair now up in the clip. She
tips her head forward and back once, then looks at the lens: "Nine hours. School run, gym, and it
hasn't moved."
0:12–0:15 — Front-camera selfie, slightly tighter, clip visible at the back of her head and its edge
in frame. Level, honest: "It is genuinely ugly. It's plastic and it looks cheap. It just works. Go
have a look."
Style: authentic creator selfie UGC, handheld front camera with visible micro-shake for the talking
beats, locked-off propped insert for the proof, hard cuts, soft window daylight, real ambient audio
only. Beat 4 must match the camera position and framing of beat 1 exactly. No on-screen text, no
captions, no subtitles, no music.
