Method. The method picks the structure. A time-lapse is built differently from a product shot, and a product shot is built differently from a short drama. Pick the method first, and the rest of the prompt follows from it. The free library holds fifteen methods, each one a complete structure for one kind of output.

Beats. Beats carry the motion. A prompt that says "a city grows" gives you a blur. A prompt that says "empty lot, foundations, steel frame, glass, lights on" gives you a sequence. Write the beats down, one per shot, before you generate anything.

Settings. Settings fix the output. Model, aspect ratio, duration per shot. These are not decoration; they are part of the specification. The same words on a different model or a different ratio are a different prompt.

Keyframe. The keyframe locks identity. Camera, subject, light, locked in the first frame and held through every shot. Without it, the subject changes face halfway through and the sequence falls apart.

Then iterate. Change one thing at a time. A new subject, same camera. A new camera, same subject. Keep notes on what worked, and post the working version here in Prompt Sharing, in the format from the pinned post.

That is the whole craft. Method, beats, settings, keyframe. Everything else is practice.
