How to use effectively
Structure your prompts with these key elements for best results:
Shot Size
Wide angle · Medium shot · Close up · Extreme close up · Overhead
Lighting
Soft · Hard · Warm · Overcast · Sunlit · Silhouette
Camera Angle
Over the shoulder · Drone shot · POV · Dutch angle · Tracking shot
Camera Movement
Moves left · Dolly zoom in · Pulls back · Static · Handheld
Visual Effects
Slow motion · Camera blur · Lens flare · Time lapse
Emotion
Happy · Sad · Angry · Fearful · Surprised · Determined
Pro tips:
Be specific about action, style, and camera work.
For image-to-video: describe what should happen, not just what's visible.
Layer descriptions: combine lighting + camera work + emotion for cinematic quality.
Use clear camera language: "zoom in," "wide shot," "overhead angle."
Example prompts
Fashion video: "A fashion photoshoot inside a pristine white studio. A woman poses confidently, holding a luxury designer bag. The camera employs a dramatic Dutch angle, tilting off balance. Camera rotates vertically around her. Bright diffused lighting highlights textures. Sleek, modern, editorial mood."
Anime style: "Japanese anime style. A girl with long flowing hair stands on a windy hilltop, cherry blossoms swirling through the air. Camera begins with a wide shot, then slowly zooms in. Soft pastel colors, pinks, light blues, gentle whites, evoking beauty and melancholy."
Product physics: "A shiny marble ball rolls down a grand stone staircase. Camera follows in a dynamic tracking shot, capturing gentle bounces from step to step. Reflections ripple across the marble's surface. Natural sense of gravity and momentum."
