Field order

A stable order is subject, action, scene, camera, light, sound, and then constraints about what must be preserved or excluded.

Treat the prompt like a short call sheet. Subject and action come first; camera, light, and sound come after. Order affects what the model locks onto first.

FieldWhat it is forExample
SubjectThe object the model should lock firstA ceramic perfume bottle on a black counter, label fully preserved
ActionThe visible change that actually happensCondensation beads gather and slide down the glass over about five seconds
SceneEnvironment information that references do not already coverA rain-lit kitchen counter with shallow depth of field
CameraThe one main move and where it stopsA slow push from a product mid-shot into a close-up of the label
Light and lookA physically plausible light source plus overall toneWarm practical light from the left, cool rim light, clean commercial realism
SoundRoom bed, a sound effect, one line, or deliberate near-silenceVery low room tone, with a soft glass tick at the end
ConstraintsWhat must be preserved and what must not changeDo not alter the logo, bottle shape, label, or cap geometry

About length

Stop once the information is clear. If the prompt is too short, the model invents too much. If it is too long, the second half often fails to land. Control length by real word count, and avoid stacking synonyms just to sound complete.
