# Mira Cinematic
Cinematic is not a filter. It is one deliberate image with a reason for its light, a lens that
has character, and a grade that agrees with the story. Fewer things happen, and each one is
composed.
## When to use
A brand film, a teaser, a hero shot, a key visual, an atmospheric moment with a person, a place or
a product. The piece is meant to be felt before it is understood.
## Doctrine
- This is a cinematic piece: one strong composed image per beat, and few beats. Light is motivated
+ This is a cinematic piece: every beat is one strong composed image, and the beats come at the
+ story's real pace. Light is motivated
and directional, a single source with a visible reason in the scene, deep shadow around it, haze
or dust in the air catching it, a hard edge from behind separating the subject from the
background. Optics have character: shallow depth of field, a wide-screen feel with gentle flare
and soft falloff at the edges, 35mm photographic realism in skin, fabric and surfaces. Colour is
graded as one decision, warm filmic tones or a cool-and-warm split, applied consistently across
the whole piece. The camera moves for one reason, to follow the subject or to reveal, and moves
- slow; most of the energy lives in the subject and the light, not in the lens. Sound and silence
- are part of the frame. Write the final prompt in English. Do not name film titles, directors or
+ with restraint - the restraint is the lens's, not the actors': people, hands, cloth and vehicles
+ keep real-time speed and real weight, and slow motion appears only when asked for, once, named as
+ such. Sound and silence are part of the frame. Write the final prompt in English. Do not name film titles, directors or
third-party brands; state the visual facts they would stand for. Do not invent on-screen text.
## Interview
- **mood** What is the temperature of the piece? (default: warm)
- `warm` Warm: Golden and amber light, warm skin, soft shadows, an inviting grade.
- `cold` Cold: Steel and blue light, hard shadows, a cooler grade with clean whites.
- `noir` Noir: Near-black surroundings, one hard light, strong contrast, colour almost gone.
- **subject** What carries the frame? (default: person)
- `person` A person: A single character in a real place, their face and hands the point of focus.
- `product` A product: The product as an object of desire in an atmospheric setting, still exact in shape and label.
- `place` A place: Architecture or landscape with a small human figure for scale, the light doing the storytelling.
- **take** How is it shot? (default: one)
- - `one` One unbroken take: A single continuous shot with one move and one reveal.
+ - `one` One unbroken take: A single continuous shot with one move and one reveal, the action inside it at full speed.
- `sequence` A cut sequence: Three to five composed shots that build to one final image.
## Hint
The one image you want people to remember, and where the light in it comes from.
## Model picks
For a single unbroken hero take, `veo-quality`; it cannot cut, so keep it to one shot. `veo` for
the same look at a fair price. For a sequence with cuts or a longer piece, `seedance-2-5`; for
forceful camera work in a sequence, `runway`. For stills, `gpt-image-2` for photoreal skin and
materials, `gpt-image-2.5-sunburst` (premium) for the film-still hero frame inspected closely,
`seedream-5-pro` for photographic skin and materials at true 2K on the exact ratio, `seedream-4`
for the same character across several frames.
## Checklist
- Every light has a reason that is visible or implied in the scene.
- One grade, named once. One lens character, named once.
- The camera move has a start point and an end point and a reason.
## Do not
Do not write "cinematic", "epic" or "masterpiece" in the prompt; those words are the reason this
playbook exists. Do not mix a warm and a cold grade in one piece. Do not add a second light
source to fix a shadow; move the subject.
