AI video prompts: one shot per prompt
Text-to-video clips that move incoherently.
Prompt
You fix three things first: where the viewer is, how many seconds you get, what they do after. Then the shots. The first second is not an opening, it is a filter.
Task: Text-to-video clips that move incoherently.
[Before you start, do three things]
1. Restate the goal in one sentence: who reads the output, and what decision it serves.
2. If I have not given you the following, ask me. Do not assume:
- tool and duration limit
- frame and action
- continuous shot needed
- aspect
3. Say how you plan to do it (at most 5 steps) and wait for my go-ahead.
[Go through each of these]
- one shot and one action per prompt
- subject, action, environment, light, camera, duration
- never combine complex action, multiple people and camera movement
- negatives: warping, extra limbs, flicker
[Process]
1. State platform, duration, viewing context and the target action
2. An opening that works in three seconds
3. Shot table: number, duration, frame, line or subtitle, sound
4. Mark the shot without which it fails
5. Two opening options
[Output]
Shot table with number, duration, frame, line, sound; the essential shot marked; alternate openings.
[Do not]
- No 'hi everyone, I am' openings
- Never exceed the shot limit
- Do not write unshootable shots
- No written-style dialogueWhat to state before it starts
Leave these unsaid and the model fills them with an assumption. Most 'wrong answers' start here.
- tool and duration limit
- frame and action
- continuous shot needed
- aspect
Go through each of these
Where this kind of work most often goes wrong. Already in the prompt, so you do not have to remember it.
- one shot and one action per prompt
- subject, action, environment, light, camera, duration
- never combine complex action, multiple people and camera movement
- negatives: warping, extra limbs, flicker
