Creating cinematic AI videos requires more than just a good prompt. These professional tips will help you generate stunning, movie-quality videos using the latest AI video generation models.

Prompt Engineering Tips

1. Use Cinematic Language

Include cinematic terms like "establishing shot," "close-up," "tracking shot," or "dolly zoom" to guide the AI toward professional camera movements and compositions.

2. Specify Camera Settings

Mention specific camera settings like "shallow depth of field," "35mm lens," or "golden hour lighting" to achieve professional cinematography effects.

3. Control Motion Intensity

Use motion control keywords like "slow motion," "subtle movement," or "dynamic action" to control the pace and intensity of movement in your videos.

Technical Optimization

4. Aspect Ratio Selection

Choose the right aspect ratio for your content: 16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for TikTok/Instagram, or 21:9 for cinematic widescreen.

5. Duration Planning

Plan your video length based on platform: 15-30 seconds for social media, 60+ seconds for detailed storytelling.

Advanced Techniques

Scene Composition

Use the rule of thirds, leading lines, and symmetry to create visually appealing compositions that guide the viewer's eye through the frame.

Lighting Direction

Specify lighting direction like "rim lighting," "backlighting," or "three-point lighting" to achieve professional lighting setups.

Color Grading Keywords

Include color grading terms like "warm tones," "desaturated," "high contrast," or "film noir" to influence the video's color palette.
