Style: Live-action ancient-style look with 8K, high-end colour grading and slanted light through lattice windows with floating dust.

Make it yours

This is only a scene header: add a bracketed [Action] line with two or three beats and time codes, such as a table flip at 8s and a rooftop exit at 22s.
Name one or two characters with a fixed outfit each, and repeat that wording in every beat to avoid the faces changing.
The 8K and DaVinci grading words add little; replace them with one concrete lighting line like 'warm lantern light against cool window light'.
