I want a cinematic travel vlog montage. [The destination is Kyoto in November, at the peak of the autumn leaves.] [On camera: a young woman with a backpack, walking from an early-morning alley to the riverbank at dusk.] Using the prompt template below, rewrite it into one ready-to-use Seedance video prompt for me:
#### Cinematic travel vlog montage
One traveller moves through a place scene by scene, each scene carrying its own timecode, its own location and one short line. The polish is bought with film grain and golden-hour light.
**Use when:** Destination diaries, city walks, hikes, camping trips and departure sequences where one traveller has to stay the same person across six or eight locations.
**Guidance:**
- Head every scene with both a timecode and a place name. The Bali diary writes `Scene 3 (8-12s) — Rice Terrace & Jungle Moments`, and each block holds one location, one action and one camera move.
- Put the cinematic feel in a parameter list, not in adjectives. The Bali diary states `4K cinematic video, 24fps, 35mm film grain, realistic handheld camera` and adds warm vintage grading.
- Keep the lines short and tied to what just happened. Bali uses `Don't film this part — actually, keep filming it.` after she wobbles on the board, and closes on `Goodnight from Bali.`
- Lock the gear as well as the person. The Korean camping case writes `Maintain the same woman, outfit, SUV, tent, campsite, and equipment throughout`, so the car and tent cannot redesign themselves halfway.
- When the trip involves real physical work, spell out the mechanics. The camping case asks for `realistic tent fabric, flexible poles, stakes` and bans `instant tent setup`.
**Examples:** [#1](https://goodcase.ai/cases/seedance-a-cinematic-30-second-tropical-travel-vlog-montage-featuring-a-beautiful-20-yea-6af38a792806) [#2](https://goodcase.ai/cases/noorlewisx-seedance-ai-f8e8235cd94a) [#3](https://goodcase.ai/cases/nawalsehar-seedance-ai-531c19980c39) [#4](https://goodcase.ai/cases/seedance-a-cinematic-ai-travel-vlog-of-a-stylish-young-woman-exploring-a-vibrant-europea-0eaef30bc5e3)
**Structure:**
1. Opening line: runtime, aspect ratio, the format named as a cinematic travel vlog, and who the traveller is
2. Look block written as parameters: film stock, grain, colour grading, depth of field, frame rate, handheld feel
3. One-sentence consistency lock covering hair, makeup, outfit and expression across every scene
4. Scene blocks by timecode, each headed with a location name: arrival, a landscape wide, an activity beat, a food or slow-living beat
5. Spoken lines written inside the scene where they are said, one short sentence each
6. Closing scene at golden hour or at night, ending with her looking into the lens and signing off
7. Tail: voice and lip-sync requirements, then the exclusions for text, logo and watermark
**Pitfalls:**
- Packing eight scenes into thirty seconds and giving every one of them a line. The Bali diary runs eight scenes and only four of them speak.
- Naming the location and leaving the camera to the model. Each scene needs its own move, written like `Camera trails her from behind, then swings into a close-up`.
- Mixing in cheap phone-footage words such as shaky phone video or low quality. The handheld here sits on top of film grain and shallow depth of field, and image quality has to stay up.
- Turning the film into a string of empty landscape shots. Give every scene a concrete action: Bali has her walking barefoot at the tideline and drinking coconut water through a paper straw.
