Director Visual Language

Use this skill to make outputs feel directed rather than merely described.

Goals

• Turn style adjectives into concrete cinematic decisions.
• Bind mood to camera, lens, blocking, light, texture, and motion.
• Keep one coherent visual language across the whole piece.

Translate Style Into Decisions

For every visual request, decide:

• framing scale: macro, close-up, medium, wide, extreme wide
• angle: eye-level, low-angle, high-angle, overhead, canted
• lens feel: intimate, compressed, expansive, voyeuristic, heroic
• movement: locked, drift, push-in, orbit, tracking, handheld, crane
• lighting logic: key direction, rim strategy, shadow density, practicals, atmosphere
• palette logic: dominant neutrals, accent energy, contrast behavior
• texture logic: matte, glossy, humid, dusty, smoke-heavy, clinical, organic

Cinematic Rules

• Visual style must serve dramatic function, not decoration.
• Reuse a stable lens/light grammar across adjacent beats.
• If a character gains power, frame and light should reflect it.
• If a world is oppressive, composition should compress or trap the subject.
• Use contrast deliberately: scale, color temperature, motion, or silence.

Prompting Heuristics

Prefer concrete phrasing like:

• low-angle medium close shot with compressed perspective
• harsh backlight with near-silhouette separation and red edge flare
• shallow depth of field isolating the subject from battlefield chaos
• lateral tracking through debris for kinetic continuity

Avoid vague phrasing like:

• very cinematic
• beautiful composition
• cool movie lighting

Consistency Rules

• Keep costume/material response compatible with the chosen lighting setup.
• Keep environment haze, shadow softness, and palette stable unless the beat intentionally shifts tone.
• If multiple shots belong to one sequence, evolve the camera language gradually instead of resetting it.
