Yang bedain prompt video AI “lumayan” sama yang “kerasa film” cuma satu hal: kosakata director. AI gak ngerti vibe abstrak. Tapi dia paham banget kalo kamu bilang “85mm portrait lens, shallow depth of field, golden hour, dolly in.”

Skill pack ini ngumpulin kosakata itu. Copy, paste, modify.

Shot Type Taxonomy

Spesifik ke AI mau frame seberapa dekat:

Shot Type	Apa yang Diliat	Kapan Pake
Extreme Wide Shot (EWS)	Scope landscape, subject kecil di frame	Establish lokasi, sense of scale
Wide Shot (WS)	Full body + environment	Context, blocking
Medium Wide (MWS)	Knee to head	Conversation, action
Medium Shot (MS)	Waist to head	Standard interview
Medium Close-Up (MCU)	Chest to head	Emotional dialog
Close-Up (CU)	Head and shoulders	Emotion, reaction
Extreme Close-Up (ECU)	Eyes only, atau detail object	Tension, reveal
Over-the-Shoulder (OTS)	Subject dari belakang orang lain	Conversation
Two-Shot	Dua subject di frame	Relationship

Copy-paste pola: [shot type], [subject], [lens], [lighting], [mood], [aspect ratio]

Contoh:

Medium close-up of a woman holding a cup of coffee at a wooden desk,
shot on 85mm portrait lens, soft window light from camera left,
contemplative warm mood, 2.39:1 anamorphic aspect ratio,
shallow depth of field, slight film grain

Camera Movement Vocabulary

Movement	Apa yang Terjadi	Mood
Static / Locked	Kamera diem total	Tense, voyeuristic
Pan left/right	Kamera muter horizontal di tempat	Reveal, follow action
Tilt up/down	Kamera muter vertikal di tempat	Establish height, drama
Dolly in/out	Kamera maju/mundur sejajar tanah	Emotional intimacy/distance
Truck left/right	Kamera geser horizontal	Follow walking subject
Pedestal up/down	Kamera naik/turun vertikal	Reveal, descend into
Crane / Jib	Kamera arc dari atas	Cinematic establish
Handheld	Goyangan ringan	Documentary, intimacy
Steadicam	Smooth tracking	Following through space
Crash zoom	Zoom super cepet	Shock, comedic emphasis
Push in (slow zoom)	Zoom pelan tanpa dolly	Building emotion
Pull out (slow zoom)	Zoom out pelan	Revealing context
Dutch angle	Kamera miring	Disorientasi, danger
Whip pan	Pan super cepet	Transition, energy

Aturan: satu klip = satu gerakan. AI sering drift kalo dikasih combo (“dolly in + pan left + tilt up”). Pisahin per klip, gabungin di editing.

Audio Layering (Buat yang Edit Video)

Cinematic audio = 4 layer, bukan cuma voiceover + musik:

Layer	Level	Isi
Voice / Narration	-12 dB peak	Suara utama
Music / Score	-24 sampai -18 dB	Orkestral, ambient, dinamis
Ambient / Room tone	-30 sampai -24 dB	Suara environment
Foley / SFX	-18 sampai -12 dB	Suara aksi spesifik

Musik buat cinematic:

• BPM: 60-90 (lebih lambat dari explainer standar)
• Genre: orkestral, ambient, piano, cinematic electronic
• Dinamis (crescendo, swell, jeda diam), bukan loop monoton
• Silence 3-5 detik di key reveal. Silence itu kuat.

Anti-Pattern Cinematic

• ❌ Generic “cinematic, beautiful, professional” — kosong, AI tafsir bebas
• ❌ Pile-up direction (“dolly in + pan + tilt + zoom”) — pilih satu
• ❌ Mention copyrighted character/film by name — AI refuse
• ❌ “8K, ultra HD, hyperrealistic” spam — bikin output plastic
• ❌ Multiple competing accent colors — pick 1 accent
• ❌ Letterbox di konten yang gak butuh (screen recording, talking head) — boros pixel

Cinematic itu disiplin, bukan filter. Filter bisa ditiru. Disiplin susah ditiru.
