Camera
How the shot moves: "slow push-i­n", "­static wide"
Example

Lighting Words

Golden hour
Warm, low sun, long soft shadows
Soft window light
Gentle, natural indoor light
Neon night
Saturated pinks and blues, urban mood
Overcast
Flat, even light with no harsh shadows
Backlit
Light behind the subject; glowing rim and silhouette

Iteration

One variable per run
Change only light, camera move or pace, then compare side by side

Short clips are easier to control than one long take
Plan 3-5 shots
Generate each shot separately
Assemble in an editor
Join shots and add captions and music there

Camera Moves

Slow push-in
Builds focus on the subject; good for products and reveals
Pan left / right
Follows action or reveals a wide scene
Orbit
Circles the subject; shows shape and depth
Handheld
Slight shake for a docume­ntary, real-life feel
Static wide
Locked camera; lets the action carry the shot

Image-­to-­Video Tips

Clean source image
Sharp, well-lit, unclut­tered background
Describe motion only
The image already sets the look; say what moves and how
Keep subject centered
Gives the model room for camera moves without cropping
Use for consis­tency
Same product photo = same shape and colors across clips
