AI video prompting: the 7-block method that changes everything
An AI video prompt is not a sentence, it is a call sheet. Engines answer to seven precise pieces of information, and skipping one lets the model improvise. Here is the seven-block structure used by the studio's AI Director.
The seven blocks of a prompt that holds Subject, single action, shot size, lens, camera move, lighting, mood. Example: "A woman in a raincoat crosses a cobbled street — medium shot, 35mm, slow push-in, blue neon in the rain, melancholic mood." Seven blocks, one action.
One action per shot, never two "She walks in, sits down and lights a cigarette" is three shots, not one prompt. Video engines blend the actions into incoherent motion. Split it: one verb per generation.
The camera moves that actually work A slow push-in, a slow pan, a locked-off frame with internal movement almost always work. A 360° orbit, a violent zoom or an axis change mid-shot almost never do. Two simple shots beat one acrobatic shot.
The negative prompt is your safety net "blurry, text, watermark, extra fingers, distorted face" removes most classic artefacts. Two seconds of typing saves a full regeneration.
Enrich automatically instead of guessing The "Enhance my prompt" action rewrites your sentence into a complete technical prompt while keeping your intent. That is the gap between an amateur shot and a graded one: set vocabulary, not luck.
Frequently asked questions
Should AI video prompts be written in English? For generation, yes — engines are trained mostly on English. Write in your language; the studio translates and enriches before sending.
What is the ideal prompt length? Between 30 and 60 words. Shorter and the model improvises; longer and it dilutes the important information.
Why does the same prompt give a different result every time? Every generation starts from a random seed. Generate 2 to 4 variations of the same prompt and keep the best instead of rewriting the prompt.
