# seedance-vocab-en
Before producing prompt text, a prompt-ready block, a rewrite, an example, or a compiled clip, load the [Director's Read](../../references/directors-read.md), classify the brief, and complete its canonical narrative or non-narrative record. Translate that record into visible or audible carriers and keep its internal labels out of final generation prose.
- English is the default prompting language and fails in two ways at once: slop (empty evaluation words that add tokens and no signal) and false positives (vague threat-adjacent wording that trips the heaviest moderation surface). The cure for both is the same: concrete production English. Preserve reference tags exactly: `@Image1`, `@Video1`, `@Audio1` must never be reworded.
+ English is the default prompting language and fails in two ways at once: slop (empty evaluation words that add tokens and no signal) and false positives (vague threat-adjacent wording that trips the heaviest moderation surface). The cure for both is the same: concrete production English. Preserve actual reference tags exactly; their spelling is independent of the prompt language.

+ Before adapting a reference example below, load [Using Reference Examples](../../references/surface-prompt-profiles.md#using-reference-examples). Bind its placeholders to real assets by the requested role, then preserve the actual token, including its script, case, spacing and punctuation. A written example token does not attach a file.
## Intent
English is where most users think, and where most prompts quietly rot. The soul of this vocabulary is precision as kindness: give people exact words so their excitement survives contact with the model, and so honest prompts stop being mistaken for dangerous ones.
## Usage Rule
If a camera, microphone, light meter, or stopwatch cannot detect it, rewrite it. Every sentence should name something visible, audible, or measurable: subject, visible action, camera, light source, sound, constraint.
| Function | English wording |
|---|---|
| Camera | `slow push-in`, `locked medium shot`, `stable lateral tracking`, `pull back to reveal`, `macro close-up` |
| Lighting | `soft backlight`, `warm practical light from the left`, `cool moonlight rim`, `wet asphalt reflecting neon` |
| Motion | `a slow head turn that stops`, `droplets merge and slide down`, `fabric settles after the gesture` |
| Audio | `quiet room tone`, `one clear spoken line in quotes`, `no music until after the line` |
| Constraints | `keep the logo, label, and shape unchanged`, `one action, one camera move`, `nothing else moves` |
## De-Slop Pass
Strip quality adjectives before adding anything: `cinematic`, `epic`, `stunning`, `masterpiece`, `8K`, `ultra-realistic`, `award-winning`, `hyper-detailed` all delete or convert to one observable detail each. A prompt that earns "epic" names the crowd size, the lens distance, or the structure height instead of the word.
## Filter-Aware Wording
English homonyms read as threats to filters: `shoot the scene`, `kill the lights`, `gun it`, `dead silence`, `blow up the image`. Use the production synonym (`film the take`, `cut the lights to black`, `accelerate hard`, `held silence`, `enlarge to full frame`). This is clarity for safe prompts only โ never evasion. Anything genuinely risky (minors, real-person likeness, sexual or graphic content) routes to [seedance-filter](../seedance-filter/SKILL.md) for its boundary rule, not to a rewording.
## Compact Pattern
`@Image1 is the reference; keep identity, color, and shape unchanged. Only [motion/light/camera] changes. Camera: [one move]. Sound: [one cue]. Constraints: [lock].`
Load [English vocabulary](../../references/vocab/en.md) for the full function-organized vocabulary, slop traps, and filter-trip repairs. Load [anti-slop-lexicon](../../references/anti-slop-lexicon.md) for the core replacement rule and [filter-vocab](../../references/filter-vocab.md) for the full false-positive repair table.
## Output Contract
Return the de-slopped English prompt, each replacement made (slop โ observable detail), any filter-trip repair applied, and unchanged reference tags.
