Prompt drafting and refinement
Cinematic Prompting
The grammar of cinematic AI starts here. You will write prompts the way a director briefs a DP, with lens, light, atmosphere, depth and intent. By the end of the module you have a personal prompt library, a working visual vocabulary, and the discipline to compose a frame in words.
Included in The Bootcamp at €990. Bundling all six modules saves €204 versus buying separately, and adds the six AI assistants, private WhatsApp office hours with the founder, and lifetime Club membership.
What you will learn
The outcomes of Cinematic Prompting.
- Speak the grammar of cinema in your prompts
- Compose lens, light, atmosphere and depth on demand
- Direct AI image and video models like a DP, not a user
- Build a personal prompt library indexed by look and lens
- Iterate from first frame to final shot in minutes
Module breakdown
Six chapters. One transformation.
The full curriculum of Cinematic Prompting, designed to ship the assignment, the asset and the assistant by the end of the module.
- Ch. 01
The Director's Vocabulary
What lens, light, depth and atmosphere actually mean. The cinematic terms every prompt should carry, and the ones that always quietly fail.
- Ch. 02
Lens & Light
Anamorphic, primes, aperture, glare. How to specify the look of light, not just the source. The vocabulary that separates a snapshot from a still.
- Ch. 03
Composition & Framing
Rule of thirds, negative space, headroom, leading lines. The geometry of a cinematic frame, written into a prompt with intent.
- Ch. 04
Atmosphere & Mood
Color palette, weather, time of day, emotional register. Make the prompt feel before it shows, so the model has direction beyond pixels.
- Ch. 05
Iteration Loops
From bad to brilliant. The five-step refinement loop that turns first drafts into final shots without losing intent.
- Ch. 06
Your Prompt Library
Build a personal library of 50+ cinematic prompts indexed by lens, light and look. Reusable for every project, every model, every cohort.
The toolkit
Tools you will use.
A working set, taught with intent. We do not chase tools — we direct them.
Cinematic image and short clip generation
Reference frames and look development
Motion tests and shot prototyping
What you will build
Your personal prompt library
A versioned library of 50+ cinematic prompts indexed by lens, light, atmosphere and look. Tested across the major image and video models of 2026, reusable across every project and every cohort that follows.
