# How to Write Better AI Video Prompts

High-performing AI video prompts are usually clear, visual, and specific. A useful structure is:

- subject
- action
- scene
- camera language
- lighting
- mood or style

## Practical tips

### 1. Start with a clear subject
Avoid vague openings. State what the viewer should see first.

### 2. Define visible motion
Video prompts benefit from movement. Say what is moving and how.

### 3. Add scene context
Background and environment make the output more controllable.

### 4. Use camera language carefully
Terms like close-up, tracking shot, aerial shot, and slow push in help shape the result.

### 5. Include atmosphere
Lighting, weather, and emotional tone improve consistency.

## Example formula
A young woman rides a bicycle through a quiet European street at golden hour, warm sunlight, soft breeze, cinematic tracking shot, calm nostalgic mood.
