A useful video prompt describes what changes on screen
Start with a subject and an action, then add a setting, camera move and light source. Keep a short clip focused on one action. For a longer story, write the shots in order and repeat details that should stay consistent, such as the character's clothes or the location.
Example: a music release teaser
A singer in a blue coat walks past closed shops after rain. Start wide to show the empty street, track alongside the singer, then cut to a close-up under a warm streetlight. Keep the reflections blue and the camera movement slow. End with the singer looking toward the light.

- Product ad
Close-up of a matte black water bottle on a wet stone ledge at sunrise. Water droplets slide down the side as the camera slowly orbits left. Soft backlight, shallow depth of field, end on the logo facing camera.
- Cinematic travel
Drone shot rising over a cliffside village in Santorini at golden hour, white houses and blue domes below. The camera tilts down to the sea as a ferry crosses the frame. Warm light, light haze, slow and steady.
- Horror short
Handheld night shot down a narrow hospital corridor lit by one flickering tube light. A wheelchair rolls slowly out of a doorway by itself and stops. The camera freezes, then the light cuts out. Cold green tint, film grain.
- Talking animal
A golden retriever in a tiny chef hat stands behind a kitchen counter and looks into the camera, speaking with lip sync: "Nobody touches the bacon." Medium shot, bright daylight kitchen, playful comedy tone.
- Satisfying ASMR
Macro shot of a knife slicing through a glass apple on a marble board. Each slice falls in slow motion and catches the light. Static camera, studio lighting, crisp detail, clean white background.
