The usual AI defaults to avoid

Left undecided, generated work drifts to the same few looks. Each is allowed only as a written decision in the treatment, with its reason.

Avoid these, unless the treatment chose them [best available, not yet validated]:

• golden-hour backlight, or haze and light rays, in every scene;

• a teal-and-orange grade, or the clean, glossy "modern commercial" look;

• shallow depth of field on every shot;

• the subject centred in a symmetrical frame;

• a slow push-in on every shot, or a drone wide to open;

• the smiling family at a table, or people grinning at each other or into the lens;

• flawless skin, model proportions and the average pretty face;

• showroom-clean sets and clothes, with nothing worn, dropped or out of place (wear follows the person and the place, one sign per garment; the client's product is the exception and is always pristine, decided);

• a lone figure from behind, facing a vast view;

• slow-motion hair or fabric with no cause.

The reference bar checks for them under its specific-choice point (see The quality bar → The reference bar). The positive rule: Genres → Rules for every genre.
