"type": "string",
"default": "A pair of stylish round sunglasses rests on a sleek table. A man's hand enters the frame, delicately picking them up. The camera follows the movement of the sunglasses, smoothly rising up from the table while subtly adjusting focus. As the man lifts the glasses toward his face, the background begins to transition, seamlessly blending into a vibrant yellow textured wall. As he puts on the glasses, the reflection in the lenses subtly shifts, revealing a different perspective. The final frame locks onto his face, now exuding confidence and style, as he adjusts the glasses slightly with a confident gesture."
