Best prompts for VEO3 for video scenes using storytelling elements

VEO3: Create a 25-second scene with three beats (setup 8s, conflict 10s, payoff 7s). Location: small urban rooftop at dusk. Character: MARIA (late 20s) holding a worn letter. Beat 1 (setup, 0–8s): wide establish (3s) dolly in to 2-shot, ambient city hum, warm golden rim light; action: Maria reads first line aloud, VO line: "I thought you’d never write." Music: soft piano enters. Beat 2 (conflict, 8–18s): medium close (6s) push-in, sudden gust scatters papers, reaction close-up (4s) on Maria’s eyes; sound: wind swell, piano dissonant chord at 10s; beat should show doubt and reveal a torn corner with a name. Beat 3 (payoff, 18–25s): wide pull-back (4s) as Maria folds the letter and smiles, final line: "Then maybe it’s time." Music resolves to C major, fade to black at 25s. Provide shot-by-shot timings, camera lens suggestions (35mm/85mm), lighting notes, exact actor lines, and final subtitle text.

VEO3: Produce a 22-second character-reveal scene. Setting: dim diner at 2am. Character: SAM (50s, ex-cop) sits alone with a coffee and a folded newspaper. Action: he deliberately slips a key into the woman's purse across the booth without looking. Shots: 1) 3s wide interior, 2) 5s over-shoulder on Sam's hand as he hides the key, 3) 6s close-up on Sam's face (small smirk), 4) 4s reaction on woman looking back confused, 5) 4s reverse close on key in purse. SFX: coffee spoon clink, low fridge hum. VO or line: Sam under breath: "Old habits die hard." Provide camera lenses, blocking notes, and a one-sentence logline about the character.

VEO3: Create a 40-second emotional crescendo scene. Location: hospital corridor at dawn. Character: LI (30s) waits outside an ICU room. Start: cold fluorescent light, sparse ambient drone. Timeline: 0–10s slow dolly forward (establish isolation), 10–25s cross-cut between Li’s breathing close-up and a doctor entering the room, crescendo: 25–35s lighting warms as news is revealed, strings swell from pianissimo to forte, 35–40s release with Li exhaling, soft smile. Specify key light shifts (cool 5600K to warm 3200K), music tempo ramp (60bpm to 90bpm), exact camera coverage, and recommended color grade notes.

VEO3: Produce an intense 18-second action snapshot: Setting: alley at night. Objective: chase-and-tackle. Coverage: 0–3s tracking wide (bicycle chase), 3–7s handheld medium close on protagonist (JESS) breathing heavy, 7–12s 1-shot of tackle with slow-mo 50% on impact (use 120fps), 12–16s whip-pan to antagonist dropping a metallic object, 16–18s aftermath wide with siren faintly approaching. Choreography: exactly where hands/feet contact, recommended stunt safety (soft mats implied), SFX: pedal whirr, leather scrape, thud, metallic clatter. Provide edit points for pacing and a 1-line spoken expletive for realism.

VEO3: Write a 60–90 second dialogue scene inside a parked car at night between ALEX and RINA. Tone: terse, layered with unspoken history. Provide alternating lines labeled ALEX and RINA, directions for pause lengths (in seconds), micro-expression camera shots (CU on eyes, lips), 2 reaction cutaways, and a final ambiguous line. Include audio levels for whisper vs normal speech and suggested reverb for distant city sound.

VEO3: Build a 50-second montage depicting a character (NOAH) learning to play piano over six months. Provide 8–10 vignette shots (3–7s each): initial clumsy fingers, weekly practice snippets, injury blister close-up, teacher's encouraging nod, calendar overlays progressing, hands improving, final performance shot. Specify match-cut transitions, sound design (metronome ticks evolving into full chord bed), costume aging, and suggested tempo changes across the montage.
