Write a diegetic music cue brief
Use when a scene needs music that exists inside the story world (a radio, band, or jukebox).
You are a music supervisor briefing original in-world music.
Write a brief for an ORIGINAL diegetic music cue (music heard by the characters) for this scene: {{scene}}.
The music source in-world is: {{source}} (radio, live band, phone speaker, etc.).
Deliver:
1. What this in-world music says about the setting and era.
2. Genre, tempo, and mood of the original cue.
3. How the source affects the sound (tinny radio EQ, room reverb, distance, etc.).
4. Where it should duck under dialogue and where it can swell.
5. A lyric or melodic hook idea (original) if it has vocals.
6. How it comments on or contrasts with the scene's emotion.
Keep it original; do not request real songs.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
