Art style: Cinematic Realistic. Vertical 9:16 cinematic realism, painterly textured look with visible skin and fabric texture. Inside a round stone owlery tower, cold winter daylight falls only through two narrow arrow-slit windows in the curved stone wall, laying pale bands of light across the straw-covered floor. Interior light only; no sky is visible. OPENING STATE (0:00): The Dark-Haired Student stands on the left third of the frame, medium shot, three-quarter profile facing right, beside a weathered wooden perch on the right third. His silhouette: messy dark hair, round wire-rimmed glasses, a long dark school robe, and a deep red wool scarf wrapped twice around his neck. Both arms hang at his sides. On the wooden perch sits exactly one white snowy owl with its wings folded, facing him. Everyone on screen is an adult. Faint frost on the stone ledges, loose straw and a few white feathers on the floor. Side lighting from the slit windows, level eye-height camera, upright composition, subdued natural brightness matched to film footage. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Cinematic Realistic" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Cinematic Realistic". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Cinematic Realistic" idiom, not in any other medium.
