### **Section 1: The Core Concept & Guiding Principles**
This initial block sets the stage for the AI. It defines the overall goal, tone, and context, ensuring every subsequent detail is interpreted correctly.
**AI Role:** Act as an expert viral video director and cinematographer specializing in high-energy, comedic shorts for social media. Your goal is to generate a video clip based on the following detailed scene breakdown.
**Primary Goal:** Generate a short, looping, visually captivating video clip (3-5 seconds) for social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
**Core Theme:** A comedic parody featuring a celebrity lookalike in an absurd, unexpected, or comically mundane situation that contrasts with their public persona. The humor should stem from this juxtaposition.
**Target Audience:** Users of short-form video platforms, fans of pop culture, and comedy enthusiasts. The video should be instantly understandable and shareable.

* **Location:** `[Detailed description of the location, e.g., A chaotic and messy suburban garage, a sterile and futuristic tech lab, a ridiculously opulent bathroom]`
* **Time of Day & Atmosphere:** `[e.g., Golden hour with soft, warm light; Harsh, fluorescent overhead lighting creating a tense mood; Midnight with dramatic, shadowy contrasts]`
* **Key Props & Environmental Details:** `[List 3-5 crucial objects that add to the comedy or narrative, e.g., An instruction manual written in an alien language, a single, tiny screw left over, a golden toilet plunger]`
**[CELEBRITY CARICATURE & WARDROBE]:**
* **Celebrity Lookalike:** `[Full name of the celebrity, e.g., A caricature of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, a lookalike of Taylor Swift]`. **(Note:** Using “lookalike,” “caricature,” or “in the style of” helps guide the AI while respecting platform policies on likenesses).
* **Exaggerated Features/Mannerisms:** `[Focus on 2-3 iconic and exaggerated traits, e.g., His signature eyebrow raise is now so powerful it creates a small gust of wind; Her dramatic hair flip is in constant slow motion]`
* **Wardrobe:** `[Describe their outfit, often contrasting with the setting for comedic effect, e.g., Wearing a full red carpet ball gown while trying to unclog a drain; Dressed in full tactical gear to make a peanut butter sandwich]`
**[ACTION & NARRATIVE SEQUENCE]:** This describes the “story” of the short clip.
* **Opening Shot (0-1 seconds):** `[Describe the very first thing the viewer sees, e.g., An extreme close-up on the celebrity’s face, showing intense concentration and a single bead of sweat]`
* **Main Action (1-3 seconds):** `[Describe the core comedic action in detail, focusing on movement and expression, e.g., They attempt to use a ridiculously oversized tool for a delicate task, their movements are clumsy yet performed with intense seriousness]`
* **Punchline/Climax (3-4 seconds):** `[Describe the final, revealing moment or the comedic twist, e.g., The camera pulls back to reveal the monumental task they were focused on was simply trying to plug in a USB cable correctly; They finally succeed, striking a heroic, movie-poster pose]`
**[VISUAL STYLE & CINEMATOGRAPHY]:** This is the most critical section for ensuring high-quality output.
* **Overall Art Style:** `[Choose a distinct style, e.g., Hyperrealistic, photorealistic, cinematic, Wes Anderson symmetrical style, Michael Bay explosive action style, gritty documentary style]`
* **Cinematography & Framing:**
* **Camera Angle:** `[e.g., Low-angle shot to make the subject look heroic/intimidating, high-angle shot to make them look small and defeated, Dutch angle for chaos]`
* **Camera Movement:** `[e.g., Dramatic crash zoom into the character’s eyes, slow, elegant dolly shot, frantic handheld shaky-cam]`
* **Lens:** `[e.g., Wide-angle lens to distort the scene and add to the comedy, telephoto lens with a shallow depth of field to isolate the character]`
* **Lighting:** `[e.g., Dramatic, high-contrast chiaroscuro lighting; Soft, diffused beauty lighting; Harsh, direct flash photography style]`
* **Color Grading:** `[e.g., Vibrant, oversaturated colors like a summer blockbuster; Muted, desaturated tones for a serious documentary feel; Warm, nostalgic sepia tones]`
* **Visual Fidelity:** `Cinematic 4K, hyper-detailed, intricate details, sharp focus, professional photography.`
**[PLATFORM-SPECIFIC PARAMETERS]:**
* **Aspect Ratio:** `9:16` (Crucial for vertical social media)
* **Framerate (FPS):** `24fps` (for a cinematic feel) or `30fps` (for standard video)
* **Runway-Specific Commands (Optional):** `[If using Runway’s advanced camera controls, specify them here, e.g., /pan left slowly, /zoom in quickly]`
* **Seed:** `[Use a specific seed number like –seed 12345 for reproducible results]`

### **One Practical Example Prompt**
Here is the template filled out for a specific, viral-ready idea: **A Werner Herzog lookalike reviewing a gas station slushie machine.** The comedy comes from the contrast between Herzog’s famously bleak, existentialist narration style and the mundane, colorful subject.
**AI Role:** Act as an expert viral video director and cinematographer specializing in high-energy, comedic shorts for social media. Your goal is to generate a video clip based on the following detailed scene breakdown.
**Primary Goal:** Generate a short, looping, visually captivating video clip (3-5 seconds) for social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
**Core Theme:** A comedic parody featuring a Werner Herzog lookalike in an absurd, unexpected, or comically mundane situation that contrasts with his public persona. The humor should stem from this juxtaposition.
**[PROMPT OVERVIEW]:** A Werner Herzog caricature, known for his bleak existential philosophy, is shown intensely and poetically observing the chaotic swirl of a gas station slushie machine.
**[SCENE & SETTING DESCRIPTION]:**
* **Location:** A brightly lit, slightly grimy 24/7 gas station convenience store.
* **Time of Day & Atmosphere:** 3 AM. The atmosphere is one of sterile, lonely florescent lighting, creating an eerie, liminal space.
* **Key Props & Environmental Details:** A multi-flavored slushie machine with garish branding, condensation dripping down the side, a half-eaten hot dog on a roller grill in the background, a rack of brightly colored candy.
**[CELEBRITY CARICATURE & WARDROBE]:**
* **Celebrity Lookalike:** A caricature of German film director Werner Herzog.
* **Exaggerated Features/Mannerisms:** A deeply furrowed brow of profound contemplation, a grim and serious expression, staring unblinkingly.
* **Wardrobe:** A simple, slightly worn-out beige jacket and a collared shirt, completely out of place with the setting.
**[ACTION & NARRATIVE SEQUENCE]:**
* **Opening Shot (0-1 seconds):** Extreme close-up on the churning, hypnotic vortex of the blue raspberry slushie, swirling like a chaotic galaxy.
* **Main Action (1-3 seconds):** A dramatic whip pan to the Herzog lookalike’s face. He is leaning in, mesmerized, his face illuminated only by the artificial blue light of the machine. He mutters inaudibly, as if narrating the profound indifference of the universe to a documentary camera.
* **Punchline/Climax (3-4 seconds):** He slowly reaches out a single, trembling finger and touches the cold, vibrating glass of the machine, as if making contact with a strange, alien lifeform.
**[VISUAL STYLE & CINEMATOGRAPHY]:**
* **Overall Art Style:** Hyperrealistic, cinematic, documentary style.
* **Cinematography & Framing:**
* **Camera Angle:** Eye-level, intimate shot.
* **Camera Movement:** Starts with a static shot on the slushie, then a rapid whip pan, followed by a very subtle, almost imperceptible slow zoom in on Herzog’s face.
* **Lens:** 50mm prime lens with a very shallow depth of field, blurring the background convenience store into abstract shapes and colors.
* **Lighting:** Harsh, cold, top-down fluorescent light, with the primary light source being the vibrant, unnatural blue glow from the slushie machine itself, casting dramatic shadows on his face.
* **Color Grading:** Desaturated colors in the background, but the colors from the slushie machine are extremely vibrant and oversaturated, making it look alien and otherworldly.
* **Visual Fidelity:** Cinematic 4K, hyper-detailed, intricate details, sharp focus on the textures of the slushie ice and the wrinkles on Herzog’s face, professional photography.
**[PLATFORM-SPECIFIC PARAMETERS]:**
* **Aspect Ratio:** `9:16`
* **Framerate (FPS):** `24fps`
* **Seed:** `–seed 8675309`
**[NEGATIVE PROMPTS (WHAT TO AVOID)]:**
* `–no blurry, grainy, low-resolution, distorted faces, deformed hands, watermarks, text, borders, ugly, smiling, happy, warm lighting`
