### **Example Prompt in Practice**

Here is a complete, ready-to-use prompt generated from the template above, creating a specific, high-impact scene.

**(Generated Prompt)**

**Wide shot, cinematic film still from a gritty 90s action movie directed by Michael Bay, capturing a cataclysmic car crash explosion. The scene is shot on gritty 35mm film stock with an anamorphic lens.**

**The primary focus is on two vehicles: a bullet-riddled, dark green armored security truck and a cherry red 1969 Ford Mustang Fastback. They are involved in a brutal T-bone impact on a rain-slicked downtown Los Angeles street.**

**A massive fuel-based fireball erupts from the security truck’s ruptured fuel tank. The explosion is characterized by a colossal fireball with a core of intense white-hot flames and outer plumes of deep explosive orange. Billowing clouds of thick, oily black smoke dominate the sky. A violent shower of sheared metal panels, shattered ballistic glass, and spinning, mangled car doors is ejected outwards with visible motion blur and spark trails.**

**The setting is the dead of night during a torrential downpour. The primary light source is the flickering neon signs of the surrounding buildings, which casts long, dramatic shadows and creates specular highlights on the wet asphalt. The explosion itself acts as a secondary light source, bathing the scene in a harsh, flickering orange glow, with reflections glistening on puddles and the glass-fronted skyscrapers.**

**The overall mood is chaotic, destructive, and intense. The atmosphere is thick with smoke, rain, and steam rising from the hot, twisted metal.**

**Style: Hyperrealism. Rendering: Rendered in Octane look, photorealistic, hyper-detailed, 8K, professional color grading with a cool blue and orange contrast palette, intricate textures, sharp focus, cinematic lighting.**
