How to prompt a first-person view shot in AI video
- 01

Write one or two sentences for the subject, setting and light before any camera language.
- 02
Add the first-person view recipe
Append the recipe as its own sentence: "Camera: first-person view. Movement: move forward at human eye height from the character perspective. Speed: natural walking or reaching pace. Framing: use visible hands, arms or body edges as the viewer physical reference. End: arrive at the next point of action from the same point of view."
- 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.
