Cinematic Night Drive Filmstrip Prompt

A highly structured prompt for generating a 3-frame vertical filmstrip showing a woman leaning out of a car window during a night drive. It requires preserving the identity from a reference image and focuses on cinematic night lighting (warm tungsten streetlights, bokeh headlights), subtle film grain, and micro facial expression changes across the three frames (dreamy, peaceful, melancholic).
