The Prompt Builder lets you assemble a cinematic prompt layer by layer — choosing from curated presets for shot size, lighting, lens, colour grade, mood, and more. The result is a structured prompt that AI image tools can interpret consistently.

Step by step

1

Choose your model

Select Nano Banana or Midjourney. Each AI tool responds to different prompt syntax — the Builder adjusts the output format accordingly. If you're not sure, start with Nano Banana.

2

Describe your base scene

Type a brief description of what's in the scene — the subject, setting, or action. This is the foundation that all your layers build on. Keep it concise: one or two sentences is enough.

3

Pick your layers

Click any layer category to open the visual selector. Choose from curated cinematic presets — Shot Size, Lighting, Lens, Colour Grade, Motion Style, and more. Each selection adds a structured segment to your prompt.

4

Review and reorder

Your selections appear as chips in the "Your Layers" panel. Drag them to reorder — the sequence affects how the model interprets the prompt. You can remove any layer by clicking the × on its chip.

5

Copy and use

Hit "Copy Prompt" to copy the assembled prompt to your clipboard. Paste it directly into Midjourney, Nano Banana, or any AI image tool.

💡 Tip: You don't need to fill every layer. A prompt with 3–4 well-chosen layers often performs better than one with every layer filled — the model has room to interpret and fill in the gaps.

Example output

Here's what a builder prompt looks like after assembly:

Cinematic film still, interior parking garage, two figures under a single fluorescent tube.

[SHOT SIZE]
Medium close-up, subject fills two-thirds of frame, slight headroom.

[LIGHTING]
Hard overhead practical light, deep shadows pooling below, high contrast ratio.

[LENS]
35mm prime, natural perspective, minimal depth compression.

[COLOUR GRADE]
Desaturated with cyan-green tint in shadows, skin slightly warm against cold environment.

, cinematic style, ultra-high definition, highly detailed, 8k, IMAX film grain.

After assembling your layers, click "Refine in Editor" to open the Prompt Editor. There you can edit the text of each segment directly, swap in different presets, or adjust wording before copying.
