The 8 ingredients
| Ingredient | What to write |
|---|---|
| Who | Give each person an age, a look and one detail the camera can see. A name alone tells the model nothing. |
| Where & when | Name the place, the time of day and the weather, then add one small detail that makes it feel real. |
| Clothes & props | Colors, fabrics and objects stop a scene looking generic, and they keep a character recognizable from clip to clip. |
| Action | One clear action with a beat: something starts and something changes. A clip is only a few seconds long. |
| Camera | Say how close the shot is, the angle and the movement. Without them the model picks for you. |
| Light | Name the light source and its color. Light sets the mood faster than any adjective. |
| Look | Pick one style and a color palette, then choose the matching style setting, which is added to your prompt. |
| Sound | Only for models that make sound: Seedance 2.0 and newer in AI Studio. Seedance Lite clips are silent, so skip this one for them. |
A real example
"A tiny dragon on a therapist's couch sneezes a puff of fire and panics." One subject, one place, one action with a beat: that sentence made the clip on AITube's How to prompt page.
