What you will get

A slow glide over a bright coral reef in your chosen place, with rippling sunlight, schools of tropical fish, a sea turtle swimming into frame and small bubbles, in a natural documentary style.

Why it works

Reef footage is about colour and calm, so the prompt asks for a slow glide, sunlight through clear water and a few named animals. A turtle swimming into frame adds a moment of story. Ambient underwater sound and a documentary style keep it realistic, and naming a place helps set the type of coral and fish.

Common mistake

Random animals appear.

Fix: Name the animals, as the tip says, such as a green sea turtle and a school of blue tang.

Also watch for
  • The camera moves too fast, so the reef blurs. Ask for a very slow forward glide just above the coral.
  • The water looks like air. Ask for light rays shifting on the sand and tiny particles floating.
Try a variation: night dive

Ask for the reef at night lit by a diver’s torch, with coral polyps open and a moray eel peeking out.
