How it works

From movie idea to prompt to poster workflow

Use this page to collect the movie details once. The prompt stays usable, and the homepage tool panel can pick up the title, style, ratio, and prompt to finish the job.

Capture the movie brief

Add the title, genre, mood, main subject, setting, and any visual cues that should survive into the final prompt.

2

Generate a poster-ready prompt

Convert the brief into a structured prompt with composition, lighting, palette, typography, and aspect ratio.

3

Continue in the homepage tool

Send the prompt and key settings to the homepage tool panel to keep generating without re-entering everything.

Prompt anatomy

What a useful poster prompt needs

A good prompt is compact, specific, and reusable. It should preserve the choices the homepage tool can act on later.

01

Genre and theme

State the genre and the emotional promise, such as survival horror, romantic drama, or cyberpunk thriller.

02

Main subject

Specify the hero, creature, couple, object, or location that should dominate the poster.

03

Composition

Describe the layout: close-up portrait, low-angle hero shot, centered silhouette, split composition, or negative space.

04

Lighting

Use concrete lighting terms like moonlit, backlit, neon rim light, golden hour, or high-contrast studio light.

05

Typography

Mention title treatment, font mood, placement, and whether the poster should leave space for credits or a tagline.

06

Color palette

Choose a tight palette that supports the genre, such as crimson and black for horror or cyan and amber for sci-fi.

07

Poster era or visual style

Add a style reference like retro 1980s, film noir, minimalist arthouse, vintage pulp, or modern blockbuster.

08

Aspect ratio

Use a poster-friendly ratio such as 2:3 so the image fits theatrical, social, and portfolio layouts.

09

Negative prompt if needed

Exclude unwanted artifacts, extra faces, messy text, warped hands, low resolution, or cluttered layouts.

Reusable template

Prompt formula you can keep editing

Use this as a structured starting point, then adjust it until the prompt matches your movie brief.

A [genre] movie poster for "[title]", featuring [main subject], set in [environment], with [lighting], [color palette], [composition], [typography style], cinematic poster design, professional key art, high detail, 2:3 aspect ratio.

Common mistakes

What makes prompts harder to use later

If the prompt is vague, the homepage tool still has to guess. Tighten the brief before you continue.

Prompt too vague

Replace broad words like cinematic with genre, mood, subject, and a specific poster style.

No clear subject

Name the person, object, monster, location, or symbol that should carry the poster.

Missing composition

Add framing instructions such as centered portrait, wide landscape behind subject, or low-angle hero shot.

Too many styles at once

Pick one dominant style and one supporting texture instead of stacking unrelated aesthetics.

Forgetting poster text

Specify the title treatment, tagline space, credits area, or typography mood.

Expecting perfect typography without specifying title treatment

Tell the model where the title goes and what the lettering should feel like.
