A travel-film prompt in labeled paragraphs: shot sequence, environment movement, camera, lighting, style and a negative prompt. The motion arc is simple: a wide establishing shot, a follow walk and a turn to camera.

Preview frame of the original video: Sunset Walk on a Bosphorus Terrace

Prompt

Create a highly realistic cinematic travel video of a young woman enjoying a peaceful sunset moment on an elegant waterfront terrace overlooking the Bosphorus in Istanbul, Turkey. She is wearing a sophisticated flowing cream-colored dress with delicate fabric details. Her long dark hair moves naturally in the gentle evening breeze. The video begins with a wide cinematic establishing shot of the Bosphorus, showing elegant waterfront buildings, traditional Turkish architecture, boats slowly moving across the water, and the Istanbul skyline glowing under the setting sun. The camera then slowly moves toward the woman from behind as she walks along the terrace beside a stylish glass railing. She gently places one hand on the railing and looks toward the Bosphorus. After a moment, she turns toward the camera with a subtle natural smile. The camera smoothly moves from a wide shot into a medium close-up, capturing her face, flowing hair, and the warm sunset reflections on the water. End with the camera slowly pulling back to reveal the woman standing against the breathtaking Istanbul skyline. Use realistic environmental movement: gentle waves on the Bosphorus, distant boats moving naturally, subtle wind, moving hair and dress fabric, birds flying in the distance, and soft atmospheric haze. Camera: smooth cinematic tracking, slow dolly movement, gentle orbit around the subject, natural parallax, 35mm lens, shallow depth of field, realistic motion blur, premium travel-film cinematography. Lighting: warm golden-hour sunlight, soft sunset glow, natural rim lighting on her hair and shoulders, realistic shadows, subtle lens flare, cinematic exposure. Visual Style: ultra-photorealistic, luxury travel commercial, premium tourism advertisement, realistic skin texture, detailed hair strands, natural facial expression, realistic fabric physics, cinematic composition, highly detailed Istanbul environment, 4K quality. Negative Prompt: cartoon, anime, CGI look, plastic skin, artificial face, distorted anatomy, extra fingers, extra limbs, deformed hands, unnatural walking, stiff movements, flickering, jittery camera, warped buildings, unrealistic water, duplicate people, oversaturated colors, excessive blur, low resolution, text, subtitles, watermark, logo.

Make it yours

  • The prompt has separate camera and lighting lists that repeat each other; trim them to one sentence each to leave more room for the story.
  • The negative prompt line is written as a prompt paragraph; move 'cartoon, anime, plastic skin' into one 'avoid' sentence at the end.
  • For a vertical travel clip use 9:16 and replace 'wide establishing shot' with 'tall shot that tilts down from the sky to the terrace'.
