About cinematic realistic prompts
These prompts are built around a handheld, documentary-style camera language, with handheld appearing 1.3x more often than elsewhere and aerial/drone work at 1.27x. Lighting leans hard and cool: hard light at 1.36x, cool tone at 1.34x, and low-key at 1.31x, while natural light still shows up in 997 prompts. The result is footage that feels caught rather than staged, shot in available or deliberately harsh conditions.
