Design Cinematic Storyboards Faster with This Free Camera Shot Prompt Generator Tool
Camera Shot Prompt Generator for Nano Banana and SeedDreams
Camera shot prompt generator is a boring thing to call it, but it is exactly what this tool is. I wanted something that did more than dump a static list of shots on a page. I wanted a way to actually play with those shots, combine them, and turn them into clean edit prompts for Nano Banana and SeedDreams.
I love these two image editors because they feel like real film tools. You can keep re-rolling and nudging until a single frame feels like it belongs in a movie. The problem is that even experienced filmmakers and photographers do not remember every framing option in the language of cinema. New creators usually know “close up” and “wide shot” and maybe “Dutch angle,” and that is about it. This camera shot prompt generator turns that missing knowledge into a playground.

Why this generator exists
When you are deep in a project, your brain is full of story, color, style, music, and emotion. Trying to recall twenty different shot sizes and thirty weird angles on top of that is a lot. You could keep a list open in another tab, but then you end up scrolling, copying, and pasting instead of creating.
This camera shot prompt generator takes that huge reference list and turns it into a simple interface. You choose what you want from drop downs, hit Generate Prompt, and you get a clean description ready to paste into Nano Banana or Seedreams. You can keep things minimal, or you can stack shot size, angle, lens, framing devices, composition, lighting, mood, and even expert film styles into one precise line.
Most of the time I still write prompts manually. But after a while I realised I was repeating myself and forgetting which combo gave me that one perfect storyboard frame. The camera shot prompt generator solves that by giving me a repeatable way to rebuild those looks.

Understanding cinematic fundamentals is more important than ever. Learn how framing, pacing, and shot language still shape emotional storytelling—even when machines do the rendering.

How I Use Cinematography and Film Camera Prompts in MidJourney (And Why They Actually Matter if You’re Trying to Make Something That Looks Real) Most people using MidJourney just throw in vague words like “cinematic” or “photorealistic” and hope for the best. But if you’re someone who’s spent time behind a real camera—whether it’s on…
What the generator actually does
Under the hood, the camera shot prompt generator is a big curated library of cinematic language:
- Shot size and framing
- Camera angle
- Lens type
- Framing devices (doorways, mirrors, windows, cables)
- Composition styles
- Lighting setups
- Mood and atmosphere
- Static subject actions
- Optional cinematic still effects
- Optional expert film styles and technical tricks
You can leave everything as Unselected and only change one thing, or you can build a very detailed camera description. Each dropdown is a reminder of what is possible. You see “Ozu low tatami framing” or “A24 empty room” and suddenly you remember a vibe you forgot you loved.
There is also a toggle to add or remove the descriptive text that lives in parentheses. If you are working with simpler models or just want a clean phrase like “35mm cinema lens,” you can turn the extra description off. If you want more guidance for the AI, you can keep it on.
How to use it with Nano Banana and Seedreams
Here is how I recommend using the camera shot prompt generator with image editors like Nano Banana and Seedreams.
- Start with your base image or base prompt
Generate a rough version of your scene the way you normally would. Get the character, outfit, and environment in the right zone first. - Decide what you want to fix
Ask yourself: is the problem the angle, the distance, the mood, or the composition Maybe all of them, maybe just one. - Pick a mode
- Storyboard Mode for clean, production friendly descriptions.
- Cinematic Still Mode when you want a stronger film look.
- Expert Mode when you want to nerd out with noir, A24, anime, or Tarkovsky style framing.
- Select only what you need
Use the camera shot prompt generator like a scalpel, not a hammer. If all you need is a low angle close up, only change Shot Size and Camera Angle. Leave the rest on Unselected so Nano Banana or Seedreams focuses on your main change. - Turn on the “everything else remains the same” option
When you are doing edit passes, check that box. The prompt ends with “everything else remains the same,” which tells the editor to keep the character, style, and scene, and only adjust the camera and framing. - Copy the generated line into your image editor
Paste it into the edit or refine field, run a few variations, and see what lands. Save the versions you like, because you can always come back to the same settings in the generator later.
Because the camera shot prompt generator is consistent, you can return days or weeks later and recreate a similar shot for a different scene. That is huge for storyboards, comics, or music video planning where you need visual continuity.
Example workflows
Nano Banana storyboard pass
- Base prompt: “Doll standing on a rainy street under neon lights, cyberpunk alley.”
- Open the camera shot prompt generator.
- Storyboard Mode.
- Shot Size: medium wide shot.
- Angle: low angle.
- Composition: one point perspective down the alley.
- Lighting: neon sign glow.
- Mood: rebellious, dangerous energy.
- Toggle “everything else remains the same.”
Paste that into Nano Banana as an edit prompt and nudge until it looks like a frame from your show.
Seedreams mood exploration
- Base prompt gives you a decent portrait but the mood is flat.
- Use the camera shot prompt generator only for Mood, Lighting, and Framing Device.
- Maybe “melancholy, quiet sadness,” “window light casting soft side glow,” and “framed through a rainy window.”
Now Seedreams pushes your portrait into a softer, sadder, more cinematic emotional space with almost no extra prompt writing.
Who this is for
The camera shot prompt generator is not only for hardcore filmmakers. It is for:
- Artists who love strong cinematic vibes but forget the exact terminology
- Photographers who want to translate their real world knowledge into AI images
- Storyboarders who need fast variations of the same scene
- New creators who want to learn visual language by messing with options instead of reading a dry textbook
I also see it as a teaching tool. Just scrolling the options teaches you how much range there really is in framing, angle, and lighting. You may discover shots you have never used before.
Where this might go next
In a perfect world, this would be a full visual interface like Higgsfield, with tiny previews for every shot type and live updates. I do not have those resources yet, so this free version is my way of giving something back to the community and to my future self. For now the camera shot prompt generator lives in the browser, as a simple panel that helps you write cleaner edit prompts.
If you use Nano Banana, Seedreams, or any other editor that lets you refine a frame, I think this tool will save you time and make your work more intentional. You can still improvise and write prompts by hand whenever you feel like it. The generator is just there when you want precision, consistency, and a little reminder of how rich the language of camera work really is.
