6885. Black spitting cobra at 3 metres safety

 

Here is a detailed 9:16 vertical video-generation prompt, designed for a cinematic wildlife-education sequence. If you upload the river-bank image and cobra image, the prompt can be tailored more precisely to those references.

FORMAT: Vertical 9:16, cinematic wildlife documentary, photorealistic, 4K, natural Singapore rainforest environment.

LOCATION: Seletar Simpang Kiri River, Singapore. Forest path beside the river, short grass along the pathway, dense tropical greenery, trees and foliage in the background, clean natural river environment. Bright daytime, gentle breeze moving the grass and leaves.

CHARACTERS:

Grandpa David Sing — Chinese male, 76 years old, tall, grey hair, bespectacled, wearing a floral polo shirt, black long pants and white shoes. He carries a Canon R5 camera with a telephoto zoom lens.

Ya Ya — Chinese girl, 7 years old, double-pleated hairstyle, orange polo T-shirt, dark black pants and white shoes. She is accompanying Grandpa for wildlife photography.

ANIMAL: A highly venomous black spitting cobra, matching the supplied reference image. Realistic anatomy, glossy dark/black scales, alert eyes, natural snake movement and realistic defensive behaviour.

SCENE 1 — QUIET RIVER BANK

0–5 seconds

Wide establishing shot of the Seletar Simpang Kiri River forest path. Short grass borders the path, with lush tropical vegetation and the river visible nearby.

Grandpa David and Ya Ya stand together at a safe distance, observing the surroundings. Grandpa holds his Canon R5 with the telephoto zoom lens and points it toward the vegetation.

Natural ambient sound: birds, insects, rustling leaves and gentle river sounds.

SCENE 2 — THE COBRA APPEARS

5–10 seconds

Cut to a telephoto wildlife shot.

The black spitting cobra slowly glides through the short grass from a considerable distance, moving naturally toward the general direction of Grandpa and Ya Ya.

The snake must remain clearly separated from the people. Do not show the cobra making physical contact with either person.

Grandpa notices the snake and immediately stops moving.

Ya Ya looks toward the snake while remaining beside Grandpa.

SCENE 3 — DEFENSIVE DISPLAY

10–17 seconds

Medium telephoto shot of the cobra.

The cobra suddenly raises the front portion of its body, spreads its hood widely and adopts a defensive posture.

It gives a loud, realistic hissing sound.

Its body remains grounded while the raised head and expanded hood create an unmistakable warning display.

Grandpa calmly keeps his distance and does not approach.

Ya Ya stays beside him and does not move toward the snake.

SCENE 4 — WILDLIFE SAFETY

17–25 seconds

Close-up of the cobra's expanded hood and alert head, followed by a wider shot showing the substantial distance between the snake and the two people.

Grandpa gently gestures to Ya Ya to remain behind him and stay well away from the snake.

He does not attempt to photograph the cobra from close range, touch it, chase it, corner it or provoke it.

The scene emphasizes observation from a safe distance.

TEXT OVERLAY

Large, highly legible white text with subtle dark outline:

"Ya Ya, this black spitting cobra can spit venom accurately up to 2.4 metres towards a target's eye."

Then below it:

"Stay more than 3 m away. Do not provoke it."

Keep the text safely inside the 9:16 frame's title-safe area.

SAFETY / REALISM

The cobra must remain clearly separated from Grandpa and Ya Ya throughout the sequence. The people must never approach, touch, chase, corner or provoke the snake.

The scene should communicate that encountering a venomous snake is a situation for distance, calm observation and avoidance, not interaction.

FINAL SHOT: Wide shot of Grandpa and Ya Ya remaining safely away while the black spitting cobra maintains its defensive posture in the grass, surrounded by the natural greenery of the Seletar Simpang Kiri River.
