Great Prompt Anatomy

优质提示词结构解析

Every solid Veo 3 prompt requires 8 mandatory components.

所有优质的Veo 3提示词都需要包含8个强制组件。

The 8 Must-Have Components

8个必备组件

1. Subject

1. 主体（Subject）

What it is: Who or what appears in the shot
Example: "A glass of red wine" or "Young couple under umbrella"
Why mandatory: Defines focal point; AI will invent subject if not specified

定义： 画面中出现的人或物
示例： “一杯红酒”或“伞下的年轻情侣”
为何必填： 明确画面焦点；若未指定，AI会自行生成主体

2. Setting

2. 场景（Setting）

What it is: Where and when the scene happens
Example: "White linen tablecloth" or "Rain-soaked cobblestone street at dusk"
Why mandatory: Anchors spatial and temporal context

定义： 场景发生的地点和时间
示例： “白色亚麻桌布”或“黄昏时分被雨水浸湿的鹅卵石街道”
为何必填： 锚定空间与时间背景

3. Action

3. 动作（Action）

What it is: What's unfolding in the scene
Example: "Tips over in slow motion" or "She adjusts umbrella, faint smile"
Why mandatory: Drives narrative momentum; static without action

定义： 画面中正在发生的事件
示例： “慢动作倾倒”或“她调整雨伞，露出淡淡的微笑”
为何必填： 推动叙事节奏；缺少动作画面会显得静态

4. Style/Genre

4. 风格/流派（Style/Genre）

What it is: Visual aesthetic and mood category
Example: "Cinematic realism" or "Neo-noir with high-contrast shadows"
Why mandatory: Guides AI's aesthetic decisions; consistency requires explicit style

定义： 视觉美学与氛围类别
示例： “电影级写实风格”或“带有高对比度阴影的新黑色电影风格”
为何必填： 引导AI的美学决策；明确风格才能保证画面一致性

5. Camera/Composition

5. 镜头/构图（Camera/Composition）

What it is: Shot size, angle, and movement
Example: "Close-up, low angle" or "Medium shot with gentle dolly-in"
Why mandatory: Defines cinematography; without this, AI chooses randomly
Reference: Use camera-movements skill for movement vocabulary

定义： 镜头景别、角度与运动方式
示例： “特写镜头，低角度”或“中景镜头，缓慢推进”
为何必填： 确定摄影风格；若未指定，AI会随机选择
参考： 使用camera-movements skill获取镜头运动相关词汇

6. Lighting/Mood

6. 光线/氛围（Lighting/Mood）

What it is: Light sources and emotional tone
Example: "Moody with single warm spotlight" or "Soft natural sunlight, muted palette"
Why mandatory: Shapes atmosphere; lighting is 50% of visual impact

定义： 光源与情感基调
示例： “昏暗氛围，单盏暖光聚光灯”或“柔和自然光，低饱和度色调”
为何必填： 塑造画面氛围；光线对视觉效果的影响占比达50%

7. Audio

7. 音频（Audio）

What it is: Dialogue, ambient sound, music cues
Formats:

Dialogue:
```
He says: "We don't have much time."
```
Ambience: "Soft string quartet fades into silence"
Clean frames: Add
```
(no subtitles)
```
if dialogue without text overlay wanted
Why mandatory: Sound sells the scene; silence is also a choice that must be specified

定义： 对话、环境音、音乐提示
格式：

对话：
```
He says: "We don't have much time."
```
环境音：“柔和的弦乐四重奏渐弱至无声”
无字幕画面：若需要对话但不显示字幕，可添加
```
(no subtitles)
```
为何必填： 音频能增强场景代入感；静音也是需要明确指定的选择

8. Constraints

8. 约束条件（Constraints）

What it is: Prohibitions or exact requirements
Example: "(no subtitles)" or "exactly six candles on the table"
Why mandatory: Prevents unwanted elements; AI creative unless constrained

定义： 禁止内容或精确要求
示例： “(no subtitles)”或“桌上恰好有六根蜡烛”
为何必填： 避免生成不必要元素；若未约束，AI会自由发挥

Audio Detail Patterns

音频细节格式

Dialogue Format

对话格式

Standard:
```
Character name: "Dialogue text"
```
Example:
```
She whispers: "Stay a little longer."
```

标准格式：
```
角色名: "对话内容"
```
示例：
```
她低语: "再待一会儿吧。"
```

Ambient Sound

环境音

Be specific: "Hollow wind whistling through ruins" vs generic "wind"
Layer sounds: "Soft rainfall, muffled footsteps, distant café hum"

需具体：“废墟中呼啸的空洞风声”而非笼统的“风声”
可分层：“柔和的雨声、模糊的脚步声、远处咖啡馆的喧闹声”

Music

音乐

Describe style and timing: "Soft piano underscore with subtle reverb"
Note changes: "String quartet fades into silence"

描述风格与时机：“带有轻微混响的柔和钢琴配乐”
标注变化：“弦乐四重奏渐弱至无声”

Silence

静音

Specify explicitly: "No background music" or "Complete silence"
Silence is intentional, not default

需明确指定：“无背景音乐”或“完全静音”
静音是有意选择，而非默认设置

Subtitle Control

字幕控制

Clean frames: Add
```
(no subtitles)
```
after dialogue

Example:

He says: "Perfect timing." (no subtitles)

无字幕画面：在对话后添加
```
(no subtitles)
```

示例：

他说: "时机正好。" (no subtitles)

Styling & Realism Controls

风格与写实度控制

Big-budget drama: "Shot on 50mm lens, soft natural light, muted color palette"

Gritty and raw: "Handheld camera shake, harsh fluorescent lighting, visible grain"

Stylized neo-noir: "High-contrast shadows with glowing neon signs, wet reflections"

Continuity rule: Repeat same visual cues across multiple prompts for recurring characters and consistent style.

大制作剧情片风格： “使用50mm镜头拍摄，柔和自然光，低饱和度色调”

粗犷写实风格： “手持镜头晃动效果，刺眼的荧光灯，可见颗粒感”

风格化新黑色电影： “高对比度阴影搭配发光霓虹灯，潮湿的反光画面”

连续性规则： 若要生成连贯的角色与风格，需在多个提示词中重复相同的视觉线索。
