Create a cinematic landscape or scene prompt
A prompt for dramatic, cinematic landscape and scene images for wallpapers, headers and storytelling.
The prompt
Create a cinematic wide-angle image.
Scene: [e.g. a lone lighthouse on cliffs in a storm / a neon-lit city street after rain / misty mountains at sunrise / a desert road at dusk]
Time and weather: [golden hour / blue hour / fog / rain / clear night with stars]
Mood: [epic / peaceful / mysterious / hopeful]
Aspect ratio: [21:9 / 16:9 / 9:16 for phone wallpaper]
Style: cinematic photography, wide-angle lens, strong sense of depth with foreground, middle ground and background, dramatic natural lighting, rich but realistic colour grading, atmospheric haze, high detail.
Avoid: text, watermarks, people close to the camera, oversaturated colours.
Variation: add "shot on 35mm film, subtle grain" for a more analogue look.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the Zero-Shot structure (Zero-shot prompting). A zero-shot prompt gives the model a direct instruction with no examples. It is the simplest form, and it works best when the task is common and clearly worded.
