Arc right, 16:9, 5 seconds. The camera moves in a slow half circle around [SUBJECTS, e.g. a couple in traditional clothes] standing close together on [SETTING, e.g. a beach at sunset], revealing the sun behind them as it moves. Their clothes and hair flutter in the breeze, warm golden backlight, soft lens flare, romantic and calm mood. One camera move only, no cuts. No on-screen text, no logos.

What you will get

A 5-second 16:9 shot in which the camera moves in a slow half circle around a couple standing close, the sun moving into view behind them, clothes and hair fluttering in warm golden backlight.

Common mistake

The couple turn with the camera instead of staying still.

Fix: Write “the couple stay still and face the same direction, only the camera moves around them”.

Also watch for
  • A half circle shows their backs and sides, which the AI invents, and the faces drift. Shorten the move to a quarter circle, or say “a gentle arc of about 60 degrees”. Less angle means fewer made-up views.
  • The sun jumps to a new place mid-shot. Add “the sun stays low and fixed on the horizon, only its position in the frame changes as the camera moves”.
Try a variation: arc left

Run the same prompt with “arc left” and compare it with “arc right”. One side usually shows the better face and the better light, and then you keep that clip.

Still not right? Add this and run it again

Make the arc about 60 degrees, keep the couple still and the faces unchanged, and fix the sun low on the horizon.
