Create SEGMENT 1 of 10 of one continuous music video.

References:
- @Image1 is the performer. Preserve her exact identity throughout: cornrow braids flowing into long dark curls, a silver chain-drop earring, a thin gold pendant necklace, and glossy lips.
- @Image2 is for wardrobe reference only; ignore the mannequin head. Match the black cropped boxy blazer, leopard-print skinny tie over a black bodysuit, dark-blue denim ruffled micro mini skirt, gold chains, and black loafers.
- @Audio1 is the master track and the only music/vocal source. Do not invent music or vocals.

CRITICAL COMPOSITION RULE: Never use centered or symmetrical framing. Compose her on a left or right third, use negative space, foreground occlusion (railings, doorframes, parked cars, or shoulders), street-leading lines, over-the-shoulder angles, and off-axis Dutch tilts. The camera finds her; she never poses dead-center.

PRECISE LIP SYNC — TOP PRIORITY. Keep her face sharp on every word. Match these lines and timings exactly; her mouth stays closed during instrumental gaps:
- 0.0–2.0s: “All— in!”
- 3.0–4.0s: “Lights up.”
- 5.0–6.5s: “Deep breath.”
- 7.5–8.5s: “Teeth out.”
- 10.0–10.5s: “Yeah.”
- 10.5–15.0s: “I don't do peace talks, I just do results — name…”

FILM CONTEXT: Act I cold open on LOCATION A, a brownstone block in early golden morning light with long shadows. A burgundy 1990s sedan is parked down the street and returns in the finale. Three Black women from her crew wait below the stoop in Y2K street glam: one in a baby tee and baggy denim, one in a velour tracksuit, and one in a cropped puffer; all have bamboo hoops. Capture a Black girlie hustle vibe.

SHOT FLOW:
- 0–2s, “All in!”: Shoot from behind the iron stoop railing. She bursts out the door, framed in the right third through the bars. Crash zoom in while keeping her off-center.
- 3–4s, “Lights up”: Over-the-shoulder shot from behind one of the women below; her face lands on the upper-left third.
- 5–6.5s, “Deep breath”: Profile close-up hugging the left edge. The empty street fills the right two-thirds as negative space while she straightens the leopard tie.
- 7.5–8.5s, “Teeth out”: Frame her face in reflection in a parked car's side window, off-axis.
- At 10s, “Yeah”: Whip to a low, Dutch-tilted wide shot from across the street. The stoop and crew sit on a rightward diagonal; brownstone lines lead toward her.
- 10.5–15s, verse: She descends and walks along the sidewalk, hugging the frame's left third. Track laterally as parked cars strobe across the foreground. Crash-zoom punch on “results,” placing her mouth on a third, never in the center.

CONTINUITY: Keep the gold pendant visible and the same crew present throughout the film. Use @Audio1 as the only music/vocal source; keep morning city ambience faint. Aim for an expensive NYC rap-film look, editorial off-center cinematography, and no AI gloss.
