How to prompt a drone pull back shot in AI video
- 01
Describe the shot
Write one or two sentences for the subject, setting and light before any camera language.
- 02
Add the drone pull back recipe
Append the recipe as its own sentence: "Camera: drone pull back. Movement: fly smoothly backward away from the subject or destination. Speed: controlled aerial retreat. Framing: keep the subject readable as more landscape appears. End: finish on a wider aerial composition."
- 03
Keep one move per shot
Remove any other camera instructions so the model commits to a single, readable move.
- 04
Generate and review the ending
Check the final frame matches the End line. If the move drifts, shorten the clip or restate what must stay fixed.
One move is one shot. To carry it into the next shot, pin where each clip starts and ends with first-frame / last-frame and chain the shots into a short film with one cast in every shot. Still picking software? Here is what to look for in a short-film tool.
