Runway 8 views 0 copies Oct 4, 2026
A reusable library of camera movements to add to any AI video prompt for a more cinematic result.

Prompt

[Base prompt: describe your subject, action and setting]

Then add ONE camera movement from this list:
- Slow dolly in toward [subject] (builds intimacy or tension)
- Dolly out revealing [the wider scene] (reveals context)
- Smooth tracking shot following [subject] from the side
- 360-degree orbit around [subject]
- Crane shot rising up to reveal [landscape]
- Low-angle push in (makes the subject feel powerful)
- Handheld documentary-style movement (realism, urgency)
- Static locked-off shot (calm, observational)
- Whip pan to [new subject] (energy, transitions)
- Top-down overhead shot slowly rotating

Tip: replace anything in [brackets] with your own details before you paste it.

Example result

Tip: one clear camera movement per clip works best. Mentioning lens and speed ("slow", "steady", "35mm") helps the model keep motion smooth.
