A soft, dreamlike aura or a subtle glow envelops the couple. A beautiful, anamorphic lens flare sweeps horizontally across the frame as a candle flickers, adding a cinematic quality.

### **Example Prompt in Practice**
Here is a complete, ready-to-use prompt created by filling in the dynamic template above. You can copy and paste this directly into an AI image or video generator.
**[PROMPT START]**
An intensely intimate and heartfelt cinematic moment. The central focus is on a woman as she closes her eyes to make a silent birthday wish. In front of her sits a single, exquisite slice of dark chocolate lava cake with one glowing candle, its flame casting a warm, flickering light on her face. Her partner is watching her with an expression of pure, unadulterated love and adoration, sharing in the quiet magic of the moment. The atmosphere is thick with romance and tenderness.
The birthday person is a woman in her late 20s with long, wavy auburn hair tied in a loose, elegant bun. She is wearing an elegant, off-the-shoulder velvet dress in a deep emerald green. A serene, hopeful smile graces her lips. Her partner is a man in his early 30s with short, dark hair and kind eyes, wearing a crisp, dark grey button-down shirt. He is leaning forward slightly, his own soft, loving smile reflecting the candlelight as his eyes fixate on her with profound affection.
The scene is set in a cozy, beautifully decorated home dining room. The table is a dark, polished wood, set with crystal wine glasses reflecting the candlelight and scattered with a few deep red rose petals. The background is softly blurred, showing a grand fireplace with a warm, crackling fire, creating beautiful bokeh highlights.
The primary light source is the warm, golden, flickering glow from the single birthday candle, creating a dramatic and romantic chiaroscuro effect. This light casts soft, dancing highlights on the couple’s faces, making their eyes sparkle. The dominant color palette is warm golds, deep emeralds, rich crimsons, and dark, warm wood tones.
The composition is an intimate medium close-up shot, framed tightly on the woman’s face and the cake. The camera uses a shallow depth of field with an 85mm prime lens, which keeps the couple in sharp focus while rendering the background into a beautiful, creamy bokeh. The focus is razor-sharp on the woman’s eyelashes as her eyes are closed.
As she makes her wish, ethereal, golden dust motes and magical, shimmering particles gently float upwards from the candle flame, swirling delicately in the air around her. A beautiful, subtle anamorphic lens flare sweeps horizontally across the frame. The moment is captured in ultra-slow motion to emphasize the delicate emotion.
Aesthetic: Hyper-realistic, cinematic film still, emotionally resonant, poignant, soulful, tender.
Rendering & Detail: 8K resolution, ultra-detailed, intricate details, sharp focus, professional color grading, filmic grain, shot on ARRI Alexa camera.
