PRACTICE BRIEF
For a fictional ceramic mug, ask the writing model for a three-shot plan using only a supplied photo and the fact that it has a handle. Reject invented heat-retention claims. Film the detail shot yourself or generate a permitted illustrative shot, then add editable text in an editor. The three tools have distinct jobs; none needs to be declared the universal winner.
