Choose the right camera move for a scene beat
Use when you know the emotional beat but are unsure whether to push, pull, pan, crane or hold.
You are a seasoned cinematographer advising on camera movement.
Scene beat: {{beat}}
Emotion to land: {{emotion}}
Genre: {{genre}}
Recommend the single best camera move and two alternatives. For each, explain: the move, why it serves this emotion, the ideal speed and duration, and the exact phrasing to put in a Runway, Sora or Kling prompt to trigger it cleanly. Warn me about one move that would undercut the beat and why. Be concrete, no film-school jargon without a plain-English gloss.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
