Nostalgic Summer Cinematic Poster
Set in a nostalgic 1980s coastal town, a cinematic poster features two couples captured mid-laugh against a backdrop of golden waves and colorful arcades. The vintage style evokes warmth and charm, enhanced by soft analog textures and a handwritten title in the sky.
FACE MATCH FIRST: the exact two people in the attached photo - copy each face feature for feature, his facial hair as the reference, never swapping or averaging the two. A nostalgic 1980s cinematic poster: a coastal town at low sun - a timber pier in the lower half dissolving without a seam into a seafront promenade of palms and pastel arcades above, the sea burning gold. NEAR, large in the foreground: at the pier rail: him in a chevron-striped shirt over a cream vest, her in an extra-large turquoise tee with an airbrushed sunset print and no lettering over acid-wash jeans; both on the pier rail mid-laugh, a hand's width of air between them, all four forearms along it, hands open and countable, looking camera-left over the water. FAR, smaller and higher, on the promenade by a powder-blue scooter: him in a white half-sleeve shirt and khaki trousers, her in a printed kaftan-cut maxi with a tan belt; together at the scooter, a hand's width of air between them, each with a hand on it, fingers countable. HAIR on every figure: his full and curly, hers big permed curls, both salt-lifted and swept clear of the forehead, the hairline exact. GAZE: the near figure looks out into the scene, face three-quarter with both eyes visible; the far figure candid and absorbed, face frontal or three-quarter with both eyes visible. Vertical 9:16. COMPOSITE: one continuous cinematic scene, NOT a page of separate photos, NOT an album or scrapbook layout - no panel borders, no frames, no grid, one blended world throughout. Torn-paper edges, film-strip sprockets and one small pinned polaroid of scenery sit at the poster's outer edge as decoration, never as frames around the figures. SAME-PEOPLE LAW: exactly four figures - the same two people twice as a pair, each face matching its own reference, never swapped or averaged. The near pair is large in the foreground, the far pair smaller and higher in the mid-ground; the pairs never overlap, never touch and never look at each other. PICTURE QUALITY: strictly 1980s capture, NEVER HD - soft period lens, no digital sharpening, no clarity, no HDR, no pore-level micro-detail, analog grain throughout, faded warm tones, film scratches, a soft light leak at one corner. ONE LIGHT: a single warm low sun governs the whole scene, near and far figures lit from the same side with the same colour and softness, every face keyed frontally and brightest with clear catchlights. Every face is 1980s-sharp, not digital-sharp: features exactly readable, edges soft; grain, scratches, leak and paper never fall across a face, and sky, landscape and paper edges sit a step under the skin. One text only: Once Upon A Summer handwritten in dark ink script in the open sky, spelled exactly O, n, c, e, space, U, p, o, n, space, A, space, S, u, m, m, e, r, clear of every face, touching nothing. No other lettering anywhere - polaroid, signs and plates carry artwork or plain shapes only. CHECK: all four faces must match their own reference exactly.

How to use this prompt

The aspect ratio should be 9:16 for optimal vertical presentation. Make sure to specify details about their summer attire to reflect the 1980s look accurately. If the faces don't match precisely, consider refining your source images for clearer reference points.
