Midjourney Cinema Prompt Tips
- If you are looking to create a cinema prompt, it is important to include a prefix with relevant keywords. Some examples of these keywords are cinematic shot, cinematic still, film still, movie shot, footage from the movie, movie scene, cinematic movie scene, and similar phrases. By including these keywords, you can implicitly reference certain aspects of the visual and stylistic elements of the subject.
- To achieve more specific results, consider adding a genre to your prompt, such as sci-fi, horror, comedy, and so on. This will provide Midjourney with more information about lighting, costume design, camera film, and other relevant details.
- If you want to take things a step further, try using the “film by” keyword followed by the name of a specific director. This will allow you to inherit the entire style and approach of filmmaking of the director that you have mentioned. So, be sure to keep these tips in mind when creating your next cinema prompt!
