Cinematic prompt features
Shot type, lens, camera movement, lighting, color, mood, composition, depth of field and atmosphere - all curated lists, no terminology guessing.
Terms like Rembrandt lighting, anamorphic lenses and rack focus are used correctly, the way cinematographers write them.
Every field is optional except the subject - a full nine-dimension brief or a quick two-choice sketch both work.

Frequently asked questions
How do I generate cinematic AI video prompts?+
Describe the subject, then choose shot type, lens, camera movement, lighting, color, composition, depth of field, and atmosphere before generating the cinematic prompt.
Do I need to know film terms?+
No - each field is a curated dropdown. Pick what looks right and the generator writes the professional wording for you.
Can I combine this with camera movements?+
Yes, camera movement is one of the nine fields - or use the dedicated Camera Movement Generator for deeper movement control.
What makes a prompt cinematic?+
Explicit lens, lighting and composition choices. Models produce film-like results far more often when the prompt names them instead of just a subject.
