--- name: modular-film-prompt-bible description: Use for high-control film and video prompting that must combine a stable world bible, reference placeholders, real-photography fidelity, sound policy, genre fusion, and shot-level execution into one reusable creative template. tags: - film-prompt - modular-template - visual-bible - shot-execution - reference-lock - sound-design aliases: - cinematic-prompt-bible - 影视创作模板 - 电影提示词圣经 agents: allow: - planner - script_writer - image_designer - image_edit_agent - video_designer - flf_video_designer --- # Modular Film Prompt Bible Use this skill when the user wants a film-style creation template rather than a loose prompt paragraph. This skill turns a concept into two layers: - a stable creative bible that stays locked - executable shot or frame instructions that only describe the delta for the current beat ## What This Skill Solves - Prevents film prompts from collapsing into generic adjective piles. - Separates identity, world, medium, sound, and shot execution into distinct modules. - Supports reference placeholders such as `{{Portrait 1}}`, `{{Scene 1}}`, `@image 1`, or `@video 1`. - Works for both still-image key art and shot-by-shot video prompting. ## Core Principle Write prompts in this order: 1. identity lock 2. world and genre lock 3. medium and realism lock 4. sound policy 5. per-shot execution 6. continuity carryover Do not invert this order. If the camera language appears before the world is stable, the output tends to drift. ## Layer 1: Creative Bible Lock the parts that should not randomly mutate. ### Identity Lock - Map each recurring subject to a stable reference token. - Lock silhouette, age cues, species or mechanical type, facial system, costume logic, prop package, and material response. - For non-human or mechanical faces, define expression states explicitly instead of writing vague emotion words. - If a recurring prop exists, lock carried side, scale, outline, glow behavior, and wear state. ### World And Genre Lock - Name the world as a specific place after a specific event, not as a mood cloud. - If the brief fuses genres, define the blend operationally. - Example: atompunk + western means period-tailored silhouettes, retro-futurist industrial forms, aged metal, analog control surfaces, and dusty frontier staging. - State what must not modernize. ### Medium And Realism Lock - Choose one image logic: live-action realism, large-format film, 35mm genre cinema, retro stock, premium CG with film behavior, or another single coherent medium. - If realism matters, explicitly block game-like CG, plastic surfaces, floating props, and weightless movement. - Describe how metal, leather, skin, smoke, dust, rain, LEDs, and water respond to light. - Tie grain, halation, contrast, bloom, and motion blur to dramatic intent rather than using them as decoration. ### Sound Policy - Decide whether the piece uses sync sound only, sparse ambience, or score-led treatment. - If the request wants realism, prefer no BGM and retain only production sound, Foley, and environment. - Every sound note should come from a visible or inferable source. ## Layer 2: Execution Prompt Once the bible is locked, describe the current frame or shot. ### Still Image Mode Use this section order: - core mood and fidelity - character or subject - environment - composition - color and lighting - style finish - micro-action ### Video Shot Mode For each shot or time slice, define: - shot objective - shot size and angle - composition - camera position and movement - subject movement - expression or display-state behavior - environment interaction - sound in shot - continuity from previous shot Do not restate the entire world bible on every shot. Reuse the lock and only describe what changes. ## Chinese-Friendly Section Map When the user works in Chinese, these headings map cleanly to this skill: - `基础设定`: identity, world, props, genre fusion - `核心氛围与画质`: realism level, capture medium, texture, grain, contrast - `声音`: sync sound, ambience, Foley, BGM policy - `人物`: subject lock and performance traits - `场景氛围`: environment state, weather, aftermath, practical light sources - `构图`: framing, dominant screen position, foreground-midground-background logic - `色彩与光影`: palette, key direction, shadow density, practical motivation - `画面风格`: film era, lens feel, realism guardrails - `动态描述`: body behavior, gaze, servo motion, cloth or smoke response - `景别 / 运镜 / 画面内容`: shot execution fields for video ## Performance Rules - A body move must mean something: advance, recoil, stalk, circle, freeze, brace, collapse, hesitate. - For mechanical characters, translate emotion into readable posture, timing, and interface-state changes. - If the face is LED, masked, or stylized, define emotional beats as discrete transitions, not fuzzy mood prose. ## Camera Rules - Choose one dominant camera intention per shot. - Separate subject motion from camera motion. - If the world is oppressive, use framing and depth to trap the subject. - If the beat is revelatory, use push-in, tightening composition, or exposure shift with intent. - If the beat is absurd, eerie, or tragicomic, let performance and framing carry it before adding style embellishment. ## Continuity Rules - Carry forward damage state, dirt, weather, costume wear, prop orientation, and action phase. - If a shot continues a previous moment, define what is inherited before defining what changes. - If an interface state changes, note the exact trigger and resulting state. ## Guardrails - Do not write "cinematic" unless you convert it into lens, light, composition, texture, and motion decisions. - Do not mix incompatible era signals without explaining the fusion logic. - Do not overload a shot with multiple contradictory camera verbs. - Do not let sound notes drift away from visible action. - Do not flatten a strong concept into generic beauty-shot language. ## Compact Output Pattern When building a reusable film prompt package, prefer this structure: - `Core premise:` - `Recurring references:` - `World and genre lock:` - `Sound policy:` - `Look bible:` - `Shot 1: objective / framing / camera / action / sound / continuity` - `Shot 2: objective / framing / camera / action / sound / continuity` ## Best Fit Cases - a screenshot-derived film prompt that mixes world bible and shot list - robot, creature, armor, or stylized face systems that need explicit expression states - genre-fusion work such as atompunk western, diesel noir, wuxia steampunk, retro-future war drama - prompts that must feel like a director treatment rather than a casual text description
