Every line follows the same skeleton: subject, style or film word, lighting word, one or two details. Swap exactly one slot and render again; the Start Here guide explains why. The weather wall and lighting wall hold the words these prompts lean on hardest.
In a chat model, paste a line and steer with follow-ups: same scene, at blue hour instead of noon
. The chat image models guide covers that loop. For holiday scenes, the Christmas prompts pick up where these leave off.
