Top Tips for Cinematic Video Prompts in Hailuo 02 AI Video Generator
When using Hailuo 02 AI to generate dynamic videos, precise prompt design and camera control are crucial. Below are proven optimization techniques to help you efficiently create video content that meets your expectations.
Separating Action and Visual Descriptions
When crafting prompts, it's recommended to clearly divide them into two parts:
1. Action/Camera Movement Description
- Define character movements (e.g., "walking," "turning around")
- Specify camera techniques (e.g., "zoom in," "pan to the right")
2. Visual Imagery Description
- Character appearance (costume, facial expressions, etc.)
- Scene details (background, lighting, special effects, etc.)
Example:
"Slow zoom-in (camera movement) on a woman in a red cloak running through the snow, her eyes filled with determination (visual description)."
Precision Control of Movements and Expressions
1. Simplify Action Descriptions
- Start with basic actions (e.g., "look directly at the camera," "walking") before progressing to complex motions
- Avoid stacking multiple actions and limit each clip to 1 - 2 actions, as Hailuo 02 AI generates 6 or 10 second videos, and excessive movements may be ignored
2. Facial Expression Control for "Speech"
- Accurate, vivid facial expressions significantly enhance video quality, enriching storytelling and character dynamism
- Avoid negative instructions. For example, instead of saying "do not speak," use positive descriptions like:
- "Lips tightly sealed"
- "Gritting teeth in silence"
Adding Camera Movements
1. Precise Insertion of Camera Commands
Embed camera movement keywords (e.g., pull in, pan right) directly into the corresponding action descriptions to ensure smooth transitions.
Example:
"The character draws a sword (action), the camera quickly pulls back (camera movement), revealing the full battlefield (scene)."
2. Common Camera Movement Keywords
| Prompt | Effect |
|---|---|
| Pull in | Camera zooms in for a close-up |
| Pull out | Camera zooms out to show wider view |
| Pan left/right | Camera horizontally moves left/right |
| Tilt up/down | Camera vertically angles up/down |
| Zoom in/out | Adjusts focal length for tighter/wider shots |
Streamlining Complex Scenes
- Weather Effects (rain, wind, lightning) and Particle Effects (fire, electricity) can be generated with relative stability
- Complex actions like fight sequences or rapid scene cuts are prone to errors. We recommend generating separate shots and editing them together in post-production
Optimized Prompt Formula
By integrating the above techniques, use this structure to efficiently produce high-quality videos:
Formula:
"Scene Description + Camera Movement + Additional Details"
Example:
"In a moonlit forest (scene), a wizard raises his staff to summon lightning (action), captured in a low-angle shot that pulls back (camera movement), with the lightning illuminating surrounding trees (VFX)."
