Prompt guides

Four sentences in this order: the camera and framing, the tone, the lighting, the texture.

Say what the image is for, then the visible details, then the exact text in quotes with position, then a short list of what must not appear.

Find the frame that has the register, read its data (camera, lens, stock, light, time of day, colours), and write the look block from that data, not from adjectives.

Reference roles first, then one paragraph that opens on the register, then a capture line, then any text in quotes.

One continuous block in labelled sections: the look first, the scene, the cast, the place, the first frame and who stands where, then each shot on its own timecode, then optics, camera, physics, light, and the sound last.

The camera first, then the action in order with its pace, then the sound in its own sentence, then what stays as in the start image, then the look sentence.

Iterate on drafts at 480p, then finish only the chosen draft at 1080p.

Start frame attached; then four separate parts: the subject, the place, the camera move, the look; and the action of the person on its own line.
