# Cinematic Prompting: Detail Kamera & Director

> Untuk yang udah lulus 5 sesi dan mau dive ke level director. Kosakata kamera, lensa, lighting, dan composition — copy-paste siap pakai.

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.

## Lens Choice Vocabulary

```

## 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
