What makes a good Cinematic video prompt
Strong Cinematic video prompts name the cinematography explicitly: anamorphic lens flares, golden hour or twilight lighting, slow push-in or pull-back, color-graded teal-and-orange, lens-distance depth of field, dust particles in shafts of light. The camera move (push, dolly, orbit, lock-off), lighting condition, and slow-motion frame rate are what separates a generic AI clip from a result that feels like real Cinematic cinematography.
