Sora cinematic shot prompt

Write Sora prompts like a director's shot list — shot size, camera move, action, lighting, lens — for film-quality clips.

Open in Studio
Prompt
Write Sora prompts as a director's shot description:

'[Shot size] [camera move] of [subject] [single action] in [location], [time / weather], [lighting], [lens / film look], [mood].'

Example: 'Wide tracking shot of a vintage red convertible speeding along a coastal cliff road at sunset, warm backlight, anamorphic lens flare, 35mm, exhilarating.'

Keep it to one continuous action; describe motion and lighting explicitly; name a lens or film stock for a consistent look.
