AI Video Prompting: Camera Verbs & Cinematic Pacing

Moving from still images to moving frames in Runway, Sora, Luma, and Kling. Learn the camera movement verbs that create Hollywood-grade motion.

If you take your favorite image prompt and paste it directly into an AI video generator like Runway Gen-3, Luma Dream Machine, or Kling, you often get a bizarre, melting video where objects warp and morph into static.

Why? Because a video generator doesn't just need to know what things look like—it needs to know HOW THINGS MOVE.

The 3 Pillars of AI Video Prompts

  • 1. The Camera Rig & Movement: Is the camera on a drone, a handheld gimbal, a tracking dolly, or a locked-off tripod?
  • 2. The Subject Motion: What physical action is taking place? (e.g. "A runner ties their shoe and stands up", not "a runner").
  • 3. The Cinematic Cadence: Adding cinematic 24fps shutter cadence to enforce authentic film motion blur.
🎬 GO-TO VIDEO CAMERA VERBS

• Slow Push-In: Dolly camera steadily moves closer to the subject's eyes.
• Orbital Arc: Camera smoothly circles 90 degrees around the subject while maintaining focus.
• Low-Angle Tracking: Camera glides just inches above the wet asphalt, following footsteps.
• Locked-Off Tripod: Camera remains 100% stationary while wind or cars move past.
