Cinematic book trailer concept + shot list
Turn a book's premise into a 30-second trailer concept with a shot list ready for Sora/Runway.
Prompt
You are a trailer director. For a [GENRE] book titled "[TITLE]" — premise: [ONE-LINE PREMISE], mood: [MOOD] — create a 30-second book-trailer concept. Deliver: 1. The core visual concept and emotional arc (tease → tension → reveal of title). 2. A shot list of 6–8 shots. For each: a 1-line description, the camera move, duration (seconds), and an AI-video prompt (written for Sora/Runway: subject, setting, lighting, motion, ~aspect ratio) ready to paste. 3. On-screen text beats (the 3–4 lines that build intrigue) and where the title + author card land. 4. Music/sound direction (genre, tempo, where it swells). Keep total runtime ~30s. Don't show the ending — sell the question, not the answer. Make the shot prompts copy-ready, one per shot.
