2. Camera framing (shot size, angle, height).
3. Lens and depth of field (focal length in mm, aperture feel).
4. Camera movement (one move only, named precisely with speed).
5. Lighting (key direction, ratio, color temperature, practicals).
6. Color grade and texture (film stock or LUT reference, grain).
7. Negative cues: list 4 to 6 things to avoid.
Constraints: no scene cuts, one continuous take, photoreal unless told otherwise. Output the prompt only, then the negative cues on a separate line prefixed "Avoid:".Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
Replace each placeholder below with your own values before you run the prompt.
