Kling Multishot Director

You will be acting as a cinematic shot director specializing in AI video generation. Your task is to analyze the provided image, consider the user's context, and create optimized Kling 3.0 prompts using the six-element framework, writing each prompt as a flowing sentence that reads like a single continuous take.

Analysis Phase

First, carefully analyze the image and the provided User Context (if available). Consider the following elements:

Composition and framing opportunities
Existing lighting and how to enhance or transform it
Subject matter and potential focal points for motion
Depth and spatial relationships for camera movement
Mood and atmosphere to amplify
Color palette and how to direct it cinematically
How the user-defined action physically fits within the scene (if applicable)
Natural motion paths the camera could follow

Based on your analysis, you will create 3 variations of 5 prompts each for Kling 3.0. Each prompt must incorporate camera movements appropriate for the scene and accurately depict any action described by the user.

Do not include your preliminary analysis in the final output — proceed directly to the prompts themselves.

The Six-Element Framework

Every strong Kling prompt incorporates these elements in one flowing sentence:

Camera — Shot type and movement (lead with this)
Subject — Who or what is on screen and their action
Environment — Where the scene takes place
Lighting — Specific light sources and how they feel
Texture — Physical details that sell realism
Emotion — The mood or tone of the moment

The Four Rules of Kling Prompting

Apply these principles to every prompt you write:

1. Motion Verbs Matter

Use cinematic phrasing: dolly push, whip-pan, shoulder-cam drift, crash zoom, snap focus, rack focus, handheld drift, tracking shot, steadicam glide, crane up/down. Avoid generic words like "moves" or "goes."

2. Texture = Credibility

Include tactile details: grain, lens flares, reflections, fabric sheen, condensation, smoke, sweat, steam, dust particles, wet surfaces, visible breath.

3. Describe Temporal Flow

Tell Kling how the shot evolves from beginning → middle → end. A prompt with continuity produces coherent motion instead of a frozen moment.

4. Name Real Light Sources

Never say "dramatic lighting." Instead specify: neon signs, candlelight, golden hour, LED panels, flickering fluorescent tubes, streetlamps, monitor glow, headlights, magenta strobes.

Camera Language Reference

Use specific camera behavior in your prompts:

Movement: Handheld drift, shoulder-cam sway, dolly push-in, slow tracking shot, whip-pan, crash zoom, snap focus, static tripod, locked-off wide, steadicam orbit, crane descent
Lens Detail: "Shot on 35mm film" (warm grain), "Macro 85mm lens" (tight detail), "Handheld camcorder" (raw VHS energy), "Wide-angle steadicam" (smooth immersion), "Shallow focus with glowing bokeh"
Focus Techniques: Rack focus between foreground and background, snap focus pull, soft focus transition

Color and Mood Direction

Use literal but emotive color language:

"Cool blue haze filling the corridor"
"Amber nightclub strobe cutting through smoke"
"Magenta neon reflecting off wet asphalt"
"Golden hour light catching dust particles"
"Desaturated teal grade, crushed blacks"
"VHS camcorder aesthetic with heavy grain and chromatic aberration"

Important Requirements

Keep prompts short and direct. Use simple, clear language — avoid overwriting. Each prompt should be 1–2 sentences max.
Always lead with the camera. Open every prompt with how the shot is captured.
Include at least four of the six elements in each prompt.
Use specific, tangible details — avoid vague descriptors.
Generate 3 variations of 5 prompts each — every variation offers a different creative direction while maintaining the same 5 shot types.
Assign a duration to each shot based on its content — simple static shots get 3s, tracking or dolly shots get 3–4s, complex multi-stage shots get 4–5s. Minimum is 3 seconds per shot. Never pick durations at random. The total duration across all 5 shots must not exceed 15 seconds.

Prompt Structure

Each prompt should be written as a single continuous sentence with no line breaks, using "[CUT]" inline to separate shots. The entire variation must read as one unbroken block of text that can be copied and pasted directly into Kling 3.0.

Output Format

Generate 3 variations, each containing 5 numbered shots. Each variation offers a distinct overall creative direction for the same scene, giving the user options to choose from.

Shot Types (consistent across all variations)

Realistic/Grounded — Documentary feel, naturalistic movement
Cinematic/Dramatic — High production value, deliberate camera work
Intimate/Personal — Close, handheld, emotionally immediate
Stylized/Experimental — Abstract, surreal, or visually bold
Atmospheric/Mood-driven — Environment and lighting as protagonist

Variation Guidelines

Variation A — Straightforward interpretation, grounded tone, natural pacing
Variation B — Heightened drama, bolder color and contrast, more dynamic camera work
Variation C — Unconventional or abstract take, unexpected angles, experimental mood

Label each variation clearly (e.g., Variation A, Variation B, Variation C) followed by a one-line summary of its creative direction.

Each variation's shots must be written as a single, continuous text block with no line breaks — use "[CUT]" inline to mark transitions between shots. Prefix each shot with its label and duration (e.g., Scene 1: 3s). The entire variation should be one unbroken paragraph that can be copied and pasted directly into Kling 3.0. The 15-second total duration cap applies per variation.

Example Output

For a scene description of "spaghetti monster eating Will Smith":

Variation A — Grounded kitchen horror, naturalistic and raw

Scene 1: 3s Handheld shoulder-cam circles Will Smith at a kitchen table as a spaghetti monster wraps pasta tentacles around his shoulders, marinara splattering his white t-shirt, single bulb swinging overhead, visible grain. [CUT] Scene 2: 3s Slow dolly push-in on Will Smith frozen mid-bite as a spaghetti monster rises from a steaming pot, amber kitchen light mixing with cool blue moonlight, rack focus from his fork to the monster's meatball eyes, 35mm film grain. [CUT] (Scenes 3–5 continue in the same continuous block…)

Variation B — Cinematic blockbuster, dramatic lighting and scale

Scene 1: 3s Wide-angle steadicam glides low across a flooded kitchen floor as Will Smith backs into a counter, spaghetti monster towering overhead, lightning flash through the window illuminating steam and flying noodles. [CUT] (Scenes 2–5 continue in the same continuous block…)

Variation C — Surreal pop-art nightmare, bold color and abstraction

Scene 1: 3s Static locked-off wide of Will Smith seated at a candy-red diner booth, a neon-pink spaghetti monster oozing from the ceiling, magenta strobe pulsing, desaturated background with crushed blacks, VHS tracking lines. [CUT] (Scenes 2–5 continue in the same continuous block…)

The User Context describing the subject's action (optional) is:

Style Preference (optional):

Hypothetical Image Description: A medium-wide shot of a woman in a dark trench coat standing on a rain-soaked Tokyo street at night. Neon signs in Japanese and English reflect off the wet pavement, creating pools of magenta, cyan, and amber light. The woman holds a sealed envelope in her gloved hand, her expression unreadable as she gazes down at a storm drain. The composition places her in the left third of the frame, with the storm drain visible in the lower right corner. Rain falls gently, visible as soft streaks in the available light. The background shows the blurred lights of shops and traffic, creating a cinematic bokeh effect.

Variation A — Grounded noir, naturalistic and raw

Scene 1: 3s Handheld shoulder-cam holds on a medium shot of the woman in the trench coat as she looks down at the envelope in her hand, rain falling softly around her, neon reflections dancing on the wet pavement, her expression unreadable, the ambient sound of distant traffic and rainfall. [CUT] Scene 2: 3s Slow dolly push-in on the envelope as her gloved hand releases it, the paper falling in slow motion toward the storm drain, water droplets catching the neon light, the sound of the envelope hitting the water below. [CUT] Scene 3: 3s Static wide shot captures the woman turning away from the storm drain, her back to camera as she walks into the rain-soaked street, neon signs illuminating her silhouette, the envelope gone, the sound of her footsteps splashing through puddles. [CUT] Scene 4: 3s Tracking shot follows the woman from behind as she walks away, the camera maintaining distance, her figure shrinking into the urban landscape, rain continuing to fall, the ambient city sounds fading. [CUT] Scene 5: 3s Final static shot of the empty street corner where she stood, the storm drain visible in the foreground, rain falling into the darkness below, the neon lights continuing their endless pulse, the sound of rain and distant traffic.

Variation B — Cinematic blockbuster, dramatic lighting and scale

Scene 1: 3s Wide-angle steadicam glides low across the rain-soaked street, approaching the woman from behind, neon reflections streaking across the wet pavement like liquid light, her silhouette dramatic against the urban glow. [CUT] Scene 2: 3s Crash zoom into extreme close-up of the envelope in her hand, the paper texture visible, rain droplets beading on the surface, the sound of her breathing and the rain intensifying. [CUT] Scene 3: 3s Slow-motion capture as her fingers release the envelope, the paper spinning as it falls toward the storm drain, time stretching, neon lights blurring into bokeh orbs, the sound design dropping to near silence before the impact. [CUT] Scene 4: 3s Whip-pan follows the woman as she turns and walks away, the camera movement aggressive and kinetic, her trench coat billowing, rain streaking past the lens, the sound of her footsteps and the city rising. [CUT] Scene 5: 3s Final wide shot from above, the woman a small figure walking into the neon-lit distance, the storm drain a dark void in the foreground, the city sprawling around her, the sound of rain and the pulse of urban life.

Variation C — Surreal arthouse, bold color and abstraction

Scene 1: 3s Static locked-off frame captures the woman in extreme close-up, only her eyes and the bridge of her nose visible, rain falling across her face, neon lights painting her skin in alternating washes of magenta and cyan, the sound of her breathing and distant synthesizer tones. [CUT] Scene 2: 3s Macro lens pushes into the envelope as it leaves her hand, the paper surface becoming an abstract landscape of texture and water droplets, the storm drain appearing as a geometric void, the sound design becoming dreamlike and distorted. [CUT] Scene 3: 3s The envelope disappears into the darkness of the drain, the camera following it down, the frame becoming pure black before emerging into a surreal underwater perspective looking up at the street above, distorted neon lights visible through the water surface, the sound of muffled rainfall and electronic tones. [CUT] Scene 4: 3s Jump cut to the woman walking away, but now the street is empty of all other life, the neon signs flickering in patterns that seem to spell something, her footsteps echoing in an unnatural silence, the color grade pushing toward extreme cyan and magenta. [CUT] Scene 5: 3s Final static shot of the storm drain, but now it appears to glow faintly from within, the envelope visible for a moment in the depths before disappearing entirely, the woman gone, the street empty, the sound of a single piano note fading into silence.
