How to Write Better Prompts

Improve your AI generation results with effective prompt writing techniques.

Prompt Structure

For best results, prompts should be descriptive and specific.

A strong prompt usually includes:

Subject

What appears in the video

a young woman, a robot, a city skyline

Context

The setting or background

on a rainy Tokyo street at night

Action

What is happening

walking slowly while holding an umbrella

Style

Visual or cinematic style

cinematic, documentary, noir, cartoon

Camera Motion

Optional camera movement

tracking shot, aerial view, slow dolly-in

Composition

Framing or shot type

wide shot, close-up, over-the-shoulder

Ambiance

Lighting, color, sound, mood

soft golden light, ambient city noise

Example prompt:

A cinematic tracking shot of a young woman walking through a rainy Tokyo street at night.
Neon signs reflect on the wet pavement. The camera slowly follows her from behind.
The mood is quiet and futuristic, with soft ambient city sounds and distant traffic.

Example Comparison

Basic prompt:

a cat

Better prompt:

The detailed prompt gives the model more context, resulting in higher quality and more predictable output.

Tips by Model Type

For image generation (T2I):

  • Be specific about composition and framing

  • Include artistic style references

  • Mention lighting conditions

For video generation (T2V/I2V):

  • Describe the motion or action clearly

  • Keep prompts focused on one main action

  • Specify camera movement if needed (zoom, pan, static)
