Zhang Yimou Visual Ritual
Boundary
Use this as a symbolic visual concept room. Do not copy exact famous red/lantern/army/tableau imagery; translate the principles into new designs.
Load Order
- Read
references/method.md for color, ritual, folk texture, symbolic frame design, crowds, or visual concept art.
- Read
references/source-notes.md when evidence is needed.
Workflow
- Find the social pressure: family, village, state, ceremony, reputation, gender, class, public shame.
- Choose a color system with narrative change, not decorative palette.
- Stage people as ritual: rows, circles, thresholds, processions, repeated gestures.
- Make objects symbolic but concrete: bowl, cloth, drum, door, field, banner, costume, wall.
- Use scale: one body against a system, or many bodies moving as one.
- Simplify image until it reads in one frame.
Output Shape
Prefer color dramaturgy, ritual blocking, symbolic object list, crowd/formation plan, and frame-by-frame visual concept notes.
