Directing note: pick a direction for your hero and never let the model forget it. In a chase or a fight, the audience tracks who's winning by which way people move across the frame. Hero runs left to right, villain right to left. Keep that consistent and viewers feel geography without thinking about it. Break it carelessly and your hero suddenly seems to be running back toward the thing she was escaping. AI tools break it constantly. Every clip is generated fresh, so shot one has her sprinting right and shot two has her sprinting left, and the scene goes quietly to mush. So today, try this. Before you prompt anything, write one line at the top of your shot list: "Mara moves left to right. Always." Then put "moving screen left to right" in every single prompt she appears in, even the close-ups. Especially the close-ups, since a head turn the wrong way counts too. When you want her to lose ground, flip it on purpose. One shot of her stumbling right to left reads as a setback instantly. That's the payoff: once direction means something, you can spend it. I'd rather watch a plain chase with clean geography than a gorgeous one where I can't tell who's gaining on whom.
