- Structure prompts as [Cinematography] + [Subject] + [Action] + [Context] + [Style & Ambiance] — lead with the camera, not the subject (Google's official formula).
- Dialogue: quote the exact line with attribution — A woman says, "We have to leave now." (no subtitles). Cue sound as separate lines: SFX: thunder cracks; Ambient noise: quiet hum of a starship bridge.
- Multi-shot pacing via timestamp blocks: [00:00-00:02] medium shot… [00:02-00:04] reverse shot… — VEO honors per-window actions inside one 8s generation.
- Negative prompting is positive phrasing: not 'no buildings' but 'a desolate landscape with no buildings or roads'. Keep prompts under ~175 words — longer overloads the generation.
- Start+end frame: pass both and describe the transition move ('smooth 180-degree arc ending on the POV behind her'). References (ingredients) keep characters/objects consistent and DO generate audio.
