Prompt template

Create a 15 second cinematic video inspired by a 1980s aesthetic, following a young woman through her day. Use soft film grain, warm sunlight, pastel tones, and subtle neon lighting for a nostalgic retro vibe. She wears authentic 1980s outfits like oversized denim jackets, high-waisted jeans, loose shirts, vintage sneakers, scrunchies, and bold accessories. Start with a morning scene where she wakes up in a sunlit bedroom with soft curtains moving in the breeze. Cut to her getting ready in front of a mirror, applying light makeup and adjusting her outfit. Transition to her walking through a lively street with vintage cars and shops, confident and relaxed. Show her listening to music on a cassette player with headphones, eyes closed, enjoying the moment. Then a cozy diner scene where she sits with a drink, lost in thought. Add a bike ride shot with wind in her hair and golden sunlight. Move into evening where she laughs with friends under a warm sunset, capturing natural candid joy. End with a calm night scene by a window with city lights and soft neon glow, reflecting a peaceful mood. Use smooth camera movements, slow motion for emotional moments, and a mix of wide shots, close-ups, and POV angles. Focus on natural expressions, soft lighting, and a dreamy nostalgic feel. No text, no logos, no branding. Create a high-quality 4K cinematic storyboard in a soft 1980s aesthetic, showing a full day in the life of a young woman, with no text anywhere in the image. Use a warm, nostalgic tone with film grain, pastel colors, golden sunlight, neon accents, and vintage styling inspired by retro photography. The character should wear authentic 1980s outfits in each scene, such as high-waisted jeans, denim jackets, oversized blazers, graphic tees, polka dot dresses, scrunchies, and retro sneakers, with soft vintage makeup and voluminous hairstyles. The storyboard should be in a 16:9 layout with 8–10 panels, capturing simple emotional moments: waking up in a sunlit bedroom with sheer curtains, getting ready in front of a mirror, walking through a lively street with old cars and signs, listening to music on a cassette player or headphones, relaxing in a cozy caf9 or diner, riding a bike or enjoying an open road, laughing with friends in warm evening light, watching a dreamy sunset, and ending with a calm nighttime scene under neon lights or a glowing city. Focus on natural expressions, candid emotions, and cinematic composition using a mix of wide shots, close-ups, and POV angles, with soft lighting, gentle motion blur, and a dreamy aesthetic feel throughout, emphasizing mood and storytelling without any text or branding.
