### **Optimized AI Prompt Structure for Google Veo: The “Cinematic Mindfulness” Template**
This template is designed to be a modular and highly detailed framework. You can adapt the specifics within each section to fit your exact brand, product, and desired narrative.
**Best Practices Embodied in this Structure:**
* **Clarity and Specificity:** Uses unambiguous language and detailed descriptions to leave little room for AI misinterpretation.
* **Structured Hierarchy:** Breaks the prompt into logical sections (`// Vibe`, `// Style`, `// Scene Breakdown`) which helps the AI process the information contextually.
* **Cinematic Language:** Uses industry-standard terms for camera shots, movement, and lighting (e.g., “dolly shot,” “rack focus,” “golden hour”) that advanced models like Veo are trained on.
* **Dynamic by Design:** The core of the prompt is the `// Dynamic Scene Breakdown`, which dictates a sequence of actions and shots over time.
* **Contextual Cues:** Includes details about sound and mood, which, while not directly generated, heavily influence the visual interpretation of the AI.
* **Negative Prompts:** The `// Exclusions` section is crucial for steering the AI away from common pitfalls or unwanted aesthetics, refining the output significantly.

### **The General Prompt Template**
`[PROMPT START]`
**// Project Title:** Wellness Bike Helmet for [App Name] Branding
**// Core Concept & Overall Vibe:**
A serene, cinematic, and emotionally resonant video short. The focus is not on speed or sport, but on the mindful, meditative experience of cycling in nature. The video should evoke feelings of calm, presence, and quiet joy. The bike helmet is presented as an essential tool that provides the safety and peace of mind needed to fully immerse oneself in the moment. This is a brand film for a wellness app, so the aesthetic should be clean, aspirational, and feel like a visual extension of a guided meditation.
**// Visual & Cinematic Style:**
* **Overall Look:** High-end, cinematic, with a shallow depth of field. Soft, natural, and slightly desaturated look, similar to a premium wellness brand or an A24 film.
* **Filmic Quality:** Emulate the look of being shot on an ARRI Alexa camera with high-quality anamorphic lenses. Subtle, organic lens flares when shooting into the sun. A very light, fine film grain to add texture.
* **Pacing:** Slow, deliberate, and flowing. Smooth transitions and long, gentle shots. No jarring cuts or rapid movements.
**// Color Palette:**
Earthy, muted, and natural.
* **Dominant:** Sage green, forest green, misty grey, oat milk white, soft beige.
* **Accent:** A single, calming brand color (e.g., a gentle sky blue, a warm terracotta) subtly integrated, perhaps in the subject’s clothing or a minor prop.
* **Lighting:** Primarily golden hour light (early morning or late afternoon). Soft, diffused, long shadows. Backlighting to create a halo effect around the subject.
**// Primary Subject & Wardrobe:**
* **Subject:** A person in their late 20s to early 30s, with a calm and content demeanor. Gender-neutral or specified as needed. Their expression should be one of peaceful focus, not intense effort.
* **Wardrobe:** Minimalist and comfortable. Natural fabrics like linen, soft cotton, or merino wool. Athleisure, not professional cycling lycra. Colors should align with the specified palette.
**// Product Details: The Helmet**
* **Design:** A minimalist, modern bike helmet with a smooth, matte finish. Clean lines, no aggressive vents or racing stripes.
* **Color:** A neutral, calming color like “Matte Oat Milk White,” “Sage Green,” or “Clay.”
* **Key Feature to Highlight (Subtly):** A unique, easy-to-use clasp (e.g., magnetic) or a comfortable interior padding.
**// Environment / Setting:**
A secluded, beautiful natural location. A quiet forest path with dappled sunlight, a deserted coastal road at sunrise, or a gravel path alongside a tranquil lake. Avoid busy parks, city streets, or crowds.
**// Dynamic Scene Breakdown (Sequential):**
* **[SCENE 1 – The Ritual | Duration: 4 seconds]:**
* **Shot:** Extreme close-up, shallow depth of field. The subject’s hands carefully pick up the helmet. The focus is on the texture of the helmet and the deliberate movement.
* **Action:** The subject slowly places the helmet on their head. A second shot shows an intimate close-up of their fingers fastening the magnetic clasp, which clicks into place with a satisfying, quiet snap. Their face is out of focus or partially cropped.
* **[SCENE 2 – The Journey Begins | Duration: 6 seconds]:**
* **Shot:** Low-angle tracking shot from the side, moving at the same pace as the bicycle. The camera is positioned near the ground, emphasizing the connection of the wheels to the earth (gravel, dirt path).
* **Action:** The subject pedals smoothly and effortlessly. Sunlight filters through trees, creating a rhythmic pattern of light and shadow on the path ahead.
* **[SCENE 3 – Sensory Immersion | Duration: 5 seconds]:**
* **Shot:** A sequence of two very short shots. First, a macro shot of a detail in nature: dew on a fern leaf, the texture of tree bark.
* **Action:** Rack focus from the nature detail to the cyclist passing in the soft-focus background. The second shot is from the cyclist’s Point-of-View (POV), looking down at the handlebars and the path unfolding peacefully before them. A subtle, minimalist UI element from the App could briefly overlay here (e.g., a “Mindful Mile” counter).
* **[SCENE 4 – The Pause | Duration: 6 seconds]:**
* **Shot:** Medium shot, stable, possibly on a tripod or gimbal.
* **Action:** The subject comes to a gentle stop at a scenic viewpoint (overlooking a valley, lake, or the sea). They dismount, take a deep, visible breath, and close their eyes for a moment, smiling subtly. They are fully present. The helmet remains on, symbolizing continuous safety and peace of mind.
* **[SCENE 5 – The Afterglow | Duration: 4 seconds]:**
* **Shot:** Wide, sweeping drone shot, pulling back and up slowly.
* **Action:** The subject begins to ride again, becoming a small, peaceful figure in a vast, beautiful landscape as the golden hour light glows. The video fades to a clean screen with the App’s logo and tagline.
**// Audio Direction (for contextual mood):**
(For AI’s internal “understanding” of the mood)
* **Soundscape:** Ambient sounds of nature: gentle wind, rustling leaves, distant birdsong, the soft crunch of tires on a gravel path.
* **Music:** A minimalist, ambient piano or soft string score. Calm, emotional, and unobtrusive.
**// Exclusions & Negative Prompts:**
– NO intense speed, racing, or trick riding.
– NO heavy sweating, pained expressions, or signs of extreme effort.
– NO cityscapes, traffic, cars, or crowds of people.
– NO bright, overly saturated, or neon colors.
– NO aggressive or jarring camera movements (e.g., shakey-cam, whip pans).
– NO visible logos or branding, other than the subtle app UI element and the final logo screen.
– NO lycra, spandex, or professional cycling gear.

### **Example Prompt in Practice**
Here is the above template filled in with specific details for a fictional app called “Momentum.”
`[PROMPT START]`
**// Project Title:** Wellness Bike Helmet for Momentum App Branding
**// Core Concept & Overall Vibe:**
A 25-second, serene, and cinematic video short for the mindfulness app “Momentum.” The video showcases the calm, meditative joy of cycling in nature. The helmet is positioned as the enabler of this peaceful experience, providing the safety needed to be fully present. The aesthetic must be clean, aspirational, and feel like a visual guided meditation.
**// Visual & Cinematic Style:**
* **Overall Look:** Cinematic high-fidelity, shallow depth of field, with a soft, slightly desaturated look.
* **Filmic Quality:** Emulate an ARRI Alexa camera with vintage Cooke S4 anamorphic lenses. Generate gentle, warm, horizontal lens flares during golden hour shots. Apply a very light 16mm film grain.
* **Pacing:** Slow and flowing, with smooth, dreamlike dissolves between scenes.
**// Color Palette:**
* **Dominant:** The deep green of a redwood forest, the grey of a misty morning, the soft beige of a gravel path.
* **Accent:** A muted terracotta, featured on the subject’s simple t-shirt, referencing the Momentum app’s secondary brand color.
* **Lighting:** Late afternoon golden hour. Soft, warm light filtering through a dense forest canopy, creating long, dramatic shadows.
**// Primary Subject & Wardrobe:**
* **Subject:** A woman in her early 30s with her hair in a simple braid, her expression calm and focused.
* **Wardrobe:** Wears loose-fitting beige linen trousers and a simple, short-sleeve terracotta-colored t-shirt.
**// Product Details: The Helmet**
* **Design:** The “Aura” helmet: a minimalist, modern bike helmet with a smooth, matte finish.
* **Color:** Matte Sage Green.
* **Key Feature to Highlight (Subtly):** A magnetic Fidlock buckle.
**// Environment / Setting:**
A quiet, secluded gravel path winding through a majestic redwood forest in Northern California. Patches of fog hang in the air between the giant trees.
**// Dynamic Scene Breakdown (Sequential):**
* **[SCENE 1 – The Ritual | 0-4s]:** Extreme close-up, shallow depth of field on the woman’s hands bringing the two ends of the helmet’s magnetic Fidlock buckle together. They snap into place with a quiet, satisfying click.
* **[SCENE 2 – The Journey Begins | 4-10s]:** Low-angle tracking shot from behind and to the side of the rear wheel of her gravel bike. The camera follows as the wheel crunches softly over the beige gravel path. Sunbeams pierce through the redwood canopy, creating a “cathedral of light” effect.
* **[SCENE 3 – Sensory Immersion | 10-15s]:** From the rider’s POV, looking down at her hands resting on the handlebars. A subtle, translucent Momentum UI element fades in and out in the lower-left corner: “Heart Rate: 75 bpm | Zone: Calm”. Her gaze is on the path ahead.
* **[SCENE 4 – The Pause | 15-21s]:** Medium shot. The woman stops her bike next to a colossal redwood tree. She places a hand on its ancient bark, closes her eyes, and takes a deep, serene breath. A faint smile plays on her lips. She is wearing the Matte Sage Green helmet.
* **[SCENE 5 – The Afterglow | 21-25s]:** A final, beautiful wide shot looking up through the canopy of the redwoods as she rides away from the camera, a small figure of peace amidst the giants. The shot holds as she disappears into a patch of sunlight, then fades to the Momentum logo and the tagline: “Find Your Pace.”
**// Audio Direction (for contextual mood):**
* **Soundscape:** The profound quiet of a redwood forest: a gentle breeze through the high branches, the crunch of gravel, a single distant bird call.
* **Music:** A sparse, resonant piano melody.
**// Exclusions & Negative Prompts:**
– NO racing, NO city traffic, NO crowds, NO bright colors, NO aggressive cuts, NO visible logos besides Momentum, NO professional cycling kits.
