Mastering Prompts for WanCraft

To achieve the best results with WanCraft, focus on descriptive and specific prompts.

​
Prompting Techniques:

Describing how the camera moves is crucial in creating dynamic, engaging videos. Examples include:
  • Pan Left/Right: Horizontal movement of the camera.
  • Tilt Up/Down: Vertical movement of the camera.
  • Dolly In/Out: A smooth zooming effect, often used for dramatic emphasis.
  • Tracking Shot: The camera follows a subject.
  • Crash Zoom: A rapid zoom into or out of a subject.
  • Camera Roll: The camera rotates along its own axis.
Lighting can drastically change the feel of a scene. Examples include:
  • Soft Light: Gentle and diffused, creates a warm atmosphere.
  • Hard Light: Harsh and direct, adds intensity.
  • Backlight: Creates silhouettes and dramatic contrast.
  • Volumetric Lighting: Adds visible beams of light through fog or dust.
Setting the right atmosphere ensures that the generated video conveys the desired tone. Examples include:
  • Somber: Gloomy, reflective, often with overcast lighting.
  • Euphoric: Bright, colorful, energetic.
  • Mysterious: Dark, foggy, and suspenseful.
  • Dreamlike: Surreal, soft focus, ethereal lighting.
Describing how the subject is framed in the shot helps create engaging visuals. Examples include:
  • Close-Up: Focusing on a subject’s facial expressions or details.
  • Wide Shot: Establishing a setting with a broad view.
  • Low Angle: Making the subject appear imposing or powerful.
  • High Angle: Looking down to make the subject appear small or vulnerable.
Defining the look and feel of the video is essential for guiding the model. Examples include:
  • Cinematic: Rich, high-contrast visuals with a filmic quality.
  • Vintage Film Look: Grainy textures and muted colors.
  • Shallow Depth of Field: Blurred backgrounds with sharp focus on the subject.
  • Motion Blur: Simulating real-world camera motion for natural movement.
