Generate Three Alternate Opening Scenes For Your Short Film
You have one opening in mind for your short film but nothing to compare it against. This generates three genuinely different options: one starting mid action, one on a quiet character moment, and one on an image that only pays off later, each with what it sets up and what it risks.

<task>
**Generate** three alternate opening scenes:
1. One that opens on action, dropping the audience into the middle of something happening
2. One that opens on a quiet, character revealing moment before the plot begins
3. One that opens on a visual image or detail that only makes sense once the audience has seen more of the film
4. For each, note in one sentence what it sets up and what it risks (confusion, slow start, or spoiling too much)
</task>
<output_format>
Three labelled options, each a short scene description of three to five lines, followed by the one sentence sets up and risks note. Around 350 words total. Screenwriting register: present tense, visual, sparse dialogue.
