The Cinematic Director's Prompt Guide

How To Cinematic Trick — A Cinematic Prompting Framework Stop writing prompts like an AI user. Start directing scenes like a filmmaker. A 12-chapter framework of Hollywood-style formulas — shot type, lens, lighting, color grade, camera movement — that turns vague AI generations into shots that feel directed, not generated. Works with Midjourney, Flux, Seedream, Veo, Seedance, Kling, Runway, Higgsfield, and most modern AI image and video tools. Full version (product page) How To Cinematic Trick A Cinematic Prompting Framework Most people prompt AI image and video tools by describing what they want and hoping the model figures out how. Professional filmmakers never work this way — a cinematographer doesn't tell a camera operator to "make it look epic," they specify shot type, lens, light, and color, in that order, every time. This guide reverse-engineers that language into a repeatable framework you can apply to any subject, any platform, any project. No film-school theory, no padding — just the exact formulas used to turn a random AI generation into a shot that feels intentional, immersive, and professionally directed. What's inside: Hollywood-style prompt formulas and the exact word order models respond to The four-beat cinematic scene structure (establish / act / react / resolve) — for both stills and multishot video Camera angles and what each one does psychologically Lens selection and focal lengths, explained in plain language Professional lighting techniques (three-point lighting, hard vs. soft, practical light, chiaroscuro) Composition, framing, and depth layering Character blocking and how position sets power dynamics Camera movement formulas — and why "zoom" and "push-in" are not the same word Atmosphere and environmental storytelling Color grading and mood How to build tension through withholding, not intensity Four copy-and-customize prompt templates: single cinematic image, character close-up, multishot video sequence, and establishing shot Every chapter ends with a formula and a real example you can copy.
