The Prompt Pillars: Who, What, Where, How, Why
Great AI video prompts are mini-director's notes—who's acting, what's unfolding, where it's set, how it moves, why it matters. Short, punchy sentences > flowery prose. Cover action, cam, light, tone, tech.
| Element | Key Questions |
|---|---|
| Subject | Who's central? What's their action? |
| Camera | Static? Tracking? Dolly? |
| Setting | Location? Time? Atmosphere? |
| Mood | Tense? Joyful? Mysterious? |
| Tech | Ratio? FPS? Length? |
Pitfall: Vague = meh. "City street" yields bland; "Rain-slick Tokyo alley at midnight, neon reflections" ignites.
Building Blockbuster Prompts: Layer by Layer
- Action Core: "Barista crafts latte art amid bustling cafe chaos."
- Cam Direction: "Over-shoulder tracking, subtle handheld shake."
- Env/ Light: "Steamy windows, golden morning rays piercing steam."
- Mood/ Pace: "Cozy urgency, 8-second heartbeat sync."
- Tech Wrap: "16:9, 24fps, ultra-HD detail."
Full: "Barista crafts intricate latte art in bustling cafe, over-shoulder tracking with handheld shake, steamy windows glowing in morning sun, cozy yet urgent vibe, 8 seconds, 16:9 24fps high detail."
Fun Twist: Prompts as haikus—concise poetry births vivid AI video prompting tips gold.
Iteration Loop: Refine Like a Director
- Short Test: 2-4 sec previews—spot motion/mood misses.
- Single Tweaks: Alter cam or pace only; track changes.
- Compare Gallery: Side-by-side in CutScene— "This Kling take flows better."
- Archive Wisdom: Note hits: "Dolly + urgency = engagement spike."
Example Fail/Fix: Flat pan? Add "dynamic arc follow." Now it breathes.
Pitfalls & Fixes: Prompting Perils Averted
| Problem | Quick Fix |
|---|---|
| Stiff Motion | Cam cues or action verbs—"swooping glide." |
| LoRA Drift | Early descriptors + references. |
| Premature Cuts | Extend duration; stitch smart. |
| Tone Mismatch | Mood adjectives upfront—"eerie hush." |
Humor Note: Bad prompts = AI fever dreams. Good ones? Blockbuster briefs.
