Cinematic Camera Movement Terms for AI Video Prompting
Almost any guide to video prompting for Generative AI will tell you to describe camera motion using “cinematic prompts”. But what are these terms, and what do they mean? Here my ten top prompts: 1 Static Shot / Locked Off Shot / Immobilised shot Definition: The camera remains completely stationary (static), as if mounted on a tripod. The action unfolds within the frame, but the camera itself does not move.

Why am I celebrating? * Is it because I just finished a brilliant #AI I course with Robin Moore and Media Cymru? * Is it because our new marketing campaign for our Videography for Marketing courses go live today? * Or is it just nearly Friday?

I've been blown away by the reception I have had for this course! Two days after the launch there are only three tickets left! I'm now looking to schedule more and I'm hunting for venues in #Swansea and #Cardiff. Nice, low cost venues so I can keep costs down! #video #training #skils

Vertical video training again today. But it seems @bsky.app turns it in into horizontal video. Hardly cutting edge!

Another day of vertical video training using the spectacular settings of the BBC roof garden in #Cardiff. I'm working with a fabulous group of @newyddion.s4c.cymru digital journalists. Tomorrow, how to structure short video with students @cardiffuni.bsky.social

Welcome to Cambodia. Pictured here are landmines and unexploded ordnance (UXO) which were made safe. Some 3m remain live in the country. Landmines from the civil war. UXO from the 2.8m bombs the US dropped on Cambodia in the Vietnam War. 35 people were killed or injured in the first half of 2024.

You're in for a treat on Thursday when Hunting Mr Nice lands on BBC iPlayer. I was lucky enough to get tickets for a preview screening run by @rtsmedia.bsky.social Wales at University of South Wales in #Cardiff. It's a great watch, a fabulous retelling of the Howard Marks story.
