Storyboard Prompts for AI Video
Turn a script into shot-level prompts with duration, framing, movement, sound, and constraints.
Every prompt needs shot intent
A good video prompt says what the shot is supposed to do: introduce a character, reveal a clue, show danger, land a joke, or bridge two story beats.
Use structured fields
For each shot, define duration, subject, setting, camera angle, movement, lighting, style, sound, and things to avoid. Structured prompts are easier to test and debug.
Simplify motion
AI video tools often break when too many things move. Prioritize one subject action and one camera move per shot.
