Prompt Pitfalls
Fix contradictory camera language, crowded instructions, character drift, and missing visual priorities.
Topic guide
Write storyboard prompts that describe one clear shot
Separate story intent, visible action, camera position, and stable visual details so the image prompt does not fight itself.
Give each prompt a hierarchy
Start with the subject and visible action. Add shot size and angle, then the location, time, and style details that affect the frame. Keep production notes, dialogue, and the reason for the shot outside the image prompt when they do not change what the camera sees.
Avoid asking for incompatible views in one image, such as an extreme close-up that also shows a full room. Split those needs into separate frames. Repeat a compact character and location description across a sequence to reduce drift.
10 Storyboard Tips
Use shot purpose, continuity notes, reference details, and structured iteration to improve a sequence.
Scene Description to Shot List
Move from prose to beats, coverage, and frame prompts without losing the scene's dramatic change.
Image Generation Documentation
Review the product controls and generation workflow before creating a larger batch.
A compact prompt order
- Subject identity and stable appearance
- Visible action and emotional state
- Shot size, angle, and camera position
- Location, time, and lighting cues
- Visual style and aspect ratio
Change one important variable at a time when revising. This makes it easier to identify which instruction improved or damaged the frame.
