Write it like a shot list
HeyGen Video follows a prompt the way a crew follows a shot list. Say what is in the frame, how the camera sees it, how it looks and how it sounds.
- 1
Subject and action
One clear subject doing one thing: a baker opens an oven, a cup of coffee steams.
- 2
Camera
Name the camera, lens and move: 35mm, locked off, a slow push in.
- 3
Look
Set the light and the grade: soft window daylight, fine film grain, muted colour.
- 4
Sound and limits
Describe what you hear, then what to leave out: no music, no logos, no lettering.
4 a.m. bakery
Prompt
A bakery at 4 a.m.: the baker, seen from behind, opens a big deck oven and warm light and steam pour out.
Pottery
Prompt
Wide shot of a potter at a spinning wheel in a quiet studio, a clay vessel rising between the potter's hands as the wheel turns.
Café
Prompt
A white ceramic cup of coffee steaming on a wooden café counter in low morning window light, the steam curling slowly upward, a blurred empty café behind.
