This cinematic prompt is designed as an editable starting point, not a guaranteed one-click result. The notes below translate its JSON into a readable visual plan, identify the controls that matter, and show how to diagnose a weak generation without simply adding more text.

Recommended workflow
- 01
Prepare the input
Choose reference images you have permission to use. For Cinematic Nighttime Rooftop Balcony Portrai, prioritize a clear subject and avoid unrelated people or private details in the frame.
- 02
Lock the visual plan
Confirm subject count, framing, scene, and lighting before adding finishing language. Resolve conflicts such as close-up versus full-body composition.
- 03
Adapt for one model
Start with Midjourney. Keep a baseline generation and document the exact model version, references, aspect ratio, and visible settings.
- 04
Revise from evidence
Name the visible failure, change one instruction block, and compare it against the baseline. Keep only revisions that improve the intended criterion.
Model adaptation notes
Midjourney
Translate the core fields into concise natural language and add current version-specific reference or aspect controls in Midjourney itself.
Gemini
Provide the JSON with clearly labeled reference images. Restate any ignored constraint in plain language without duplicating the whole prompt.
ChatGPT Image
Keep the JSON structure, attach references in the same conversation, and use follow-up edits for one local correction at a time.
Stable Diffusion
Move observable failures into the interface’s negative prompt field and document the checkpoint, sampler, guidance, and resolution used.
Flux
Preserve the semantic hierarchy but favor coherent natural language; weighting and negative-prompt behavior depend on the host workflow.
A compatibility label means the visual intent can be adapted; it does not promise identical output across providers, versions, or settings.
Prompt-specific quality checklist
- The face and hair must remain fully recognizable as the uploaded reference person in every panel.
- Do not replace the reference person's hair with generic medium-length curly dark brown hair if the uploaded reference photo shows different hair characteristics.
- Use the uploaded reference photo's exact natural hair color, hair texture, curl or wave pattern, density, length, hairline, volume, and hairstyle character.
- Preserve the uploaded reference person's actual facial hair pattern rather than forcing a light mustache or chin stubble if those details differ in the reference.
- Preserve the uploaded reference person's actual skin tone and facial proportions.
- The subject must look like the same person across all three panels, without identity drift.
- Adapt the hairstyle naturally to hand movement, gravity, viewing angle, rear view, close-up framing, and nighttime wind while preserving its recognizable reference-based character.
Failures to check before publishing
- low quality
- blurry image
- soft facial focus
- identity drift
- different person between panels
- inconsistent face
- altered facial proportions
Why the editable controls matter
Gender
Required identity direction for the reference subject.
People count
Default is a single uploaded reference person.
Identity or subject drift
Reduce competing style language, improve the reference, and separate stable traits from pose, gaze, and expression.
Composition breaks
Check whether crop, shot distance, aspect ratio, subject count, and required objects can all be satisfied in one frame.
Artificial lighting or texture
Name a motivated light source and believable material behavior before adding grain, grading, sharpness, or resolution terms.
