Print this, keep it beside your keyboard, and run every prompt through it before you spend a render.

1. SUBJECT
[ ] One clear main subject, described with age, build, clothing, and material detail.
[ ] Named secondary subjects only if they matter to the shot.
[ ] No pronouns without an antecedent ("she", "it") in the first sentence.

2. ACTION
[ ] Exactly one continuous action that can finish inside the clip length.
[ ] Verb is physical and observable (pours, turns, sprints), not abstract (feels, remembers).
[ ] No second action joined by "then" unless you are rendering 10 seconds or longer.

3. ENVIRONMENT
[ ] Place, surface, and two background details.
[ ] Time of day stated when lighting matters.
[ ] Weather stated only if you want it. Silence means neutral.

4. CAMERA

[ ] Lens feel (wide angle, 35mm, 85mm, long lens compression).
[ ] One move only (static, slow push, handheld follow, orbit, crane).
[ ] Height and angle if it changes the read (low angle, eye level, overhead).

5. LIGHT
[ ] Key source and direction (window left, practical lamp behind, overcast top light).
[ ] Contrast level (soft, hard, high contrast).
[ ] Color temperature or palette in plain words.

6. SOUND

8. BEFORE YOU RENDER
[ ] Aspect ratio matches the platform (9:16 social, 16:9 landscape).
[ ] Duration matches the action.
[ ] Read the prompt out loud. If you stumble, the model will too.
[ ] Save the prompt with the output so a winner can be repeated.
