  • Genre and mood.
  • Framing: close-up, medium, wide, overhead, POV, profile, locked-off.
  • Camera motion: push-in, dolly, tracking, handheld, crane, drone.
  • Lens feel: wide, normal, telephoto, macro, shallow/deep focus.
  • Lighting: natural, practical, studio, noir, high key, low key, backlit.
  • Output: aspect ratio, duration, first frame, last frame.
