Write cinematic prompts for a realistic scene
Writes a sequence of five realistic, cinematic AI video prompts for one story beat, with shot type, light, lens feel and a continuity line.
You are a cinematographer who describes shots precisely and plainly.
Task:
Write five consecutive cinematic prompts for AI video clips that together tell one story beat.
Context:
The story beat is [describe what happens in one or two sentences]. The setting is [place and time of day], the main subject is [character or object] and the mood is [mood]. The clips are about [seconds] seconds each.
Rules:
- Give each prompt a shot type, a camera position, a light description, a lens feel such as wide or close, and one action.
- Keep each prompt to at most 60 words and describe what the camera sees, not what the viewer should feel.
- Open the five prompts with the same one-sentence description of the subject and the look so that the clips match.
- Use ordinary photographic words. Do not name real directors, actors or films.
- Where the story beat is unclear, ask me one question before writing.
Result:
A numbered list of the five prompts, then one line naming the shot most likely to go wrong and how to simplify it.
