Universal Prompt Prompt:
Shot Type: Medium Shot, capturing the upper body of the subject and their immediate surroundings. The camera is positioned slightly below eye level, creating a subtle low angle that emphasizes the subject's presence against the night sky. Composition Techniques: Rule of Thirds is employed, with the subject positioned on the right vertical third line. The moon occupies the upper left third, creating a balanced composition. Leading Lines are formed by the car's roof line and the rising smoke, guiding the viewer's eye through the image. The palm trees in the background add Depth of Field, creating a layered visual narrative. Lighting: The scene is primarily lit by natural and artificial sources. The moon provides a soft, cool ambient light that illuminates the sky and creates a gentle rim light on the subject's silhouette. The warm, intense light emanating from the car's interior creates a striking contrast, bathing the lower portion of the frame in a golden-orange glow. This interplay of cool and warm tones adds depth and dimension to the scene. Color Palette: The dominant colors are deep Blue in the night sky, Orange-Red from the car's interior light, and Black in the silhouetted elements. Touches of White appear in the moon and smoke, while faint Green is visible in the palm tree outlines. Mood and Emotion: The scene evokes a sense of Melancholic nostalgia tinged with a hint of rebellion. The solitary figure, enveloped in smoke under the watchful moon, suggests introspection and a touch of defiance against the quiet night. Style: The image has a distinctly Cinematic quality, reminiscent of neo-noir or indie film aesthetics. The high contrast between light and shadow, coupled with the moody atmosphere, creates a hyper-realistic yet stylized representation of an urban night scene. Location and Setting: The setting appears to be a suburban or urban area with visible palm trees, suggesting a location like Southern California or Florida. The presence of the vintage car with its distinctive shape (possibly from the 1960s or 1970s) adds a retro element to the contemporary scene. Power lines are faintly visible, further establishing the urban context. Character Placement: The central figure is positioned on the right side of the frame, leaning against what appears to be the roof of the car. Their posture is relaxed yet purposeful, with one arm raised to hold a cigarette or similar object. The subject's head is tilted slightly upward, exhaling smoke that rises in delicate wisps towards the moon. The figure's features are obscured by the backlighting, rendering them a mysterious silhouette against the night sky. The vintage car plays a crucial role in the composition, its roof line visible in the lower third of the frame. The car's interior light creates a warm, inviting glow that contrasts sharply with the cool tones of the night, adding depth and visual interest to the lower portion of the image. In the background, palm trees are silhouetted against the night sky, their distinctive shapes adding a sense of place and tropical ambiance. The trees are positioned on the left side of the frame, balancing the human figure on the right. The moon, a prominent element in the upper left quadrant, appears as a bright, partially illuminated orb. Its presence adds a celestial quality to the scene, tying the earthbound elements to the vast night sky. The smoke emanating from the subject creates a dynamic, ephemeral element that links the figure to the surrounding environment. It rises in delicate curls, temporarily obscuring parts of the subject's silhouette and creating a sense of mystery and transience. Every element in the scene, from the precise positioning of the subject to the interplay of light and shadow, contributes to a carefully composed narrative of youthful rebellion, urban solitude, and the timeless allure of a moonlit night.

Prompt for Flux
"Create a medium shot of a solitary figure leaning against a vintage 1960s car under a moonlit night sky. The camera is positioned slightly below eye level, capturing the upper body of the subject and their surroundings, emphasizing their presence against the deep blue backdrop. Use the Rule of Thirds to place the subject on the right vertical line, with the bright, partially illuminated moon in the upper left third for balance. The rising smoke from the subject's cigarette should lead the viewer's eye through the composition alongside the car's roof line. Incorporate silhouetted palm trees in the background for added depth. Lighting should contrast cool ambient light from the moon with the warm, golden-orange glow from the car's interior, creating a moody interplay of light and shadow. Feature a color palette rich in deep blues, orange-reds, blacks, and accents of white and faint greens. Evoke a melancholic nostalgia paired with rebellion; the subject's head tilted upward as they exhale smoke toward the moon, creating a mysterious silhouette. Capture a cinematic, neo-noir aesthetic, highlighting the urban context with faint power lines. Ensure the dynamic smoke interacts with the subject and surroundings, enriching the storytelling of youthful defiance in a tranquil night landscape."
