Prompt templates are written from how generation models usually behave and have not yet been verified one by one with real generations. “Common pitfalls” are judgment from experience, not official limits.

When to use it

Deep spaces, corridors and streets, leading the audience deep into the frame.

Prompt template

leading lines from foreground converging toward the subject, clear depth, road or railing receding into the distance.

Sample prompt · generate a video directly

The technique comes first, followed by the scene, action, performance and duration. Paste it straight into a video model and swap in your own characters and plot.

Leading-line composition, railway tracks converging from the near foreground into the distance and vanishing where the subject is, with clear depth. At the end of perfectly straight tracks across a snowfield, a figure with a backpack slowly walks away as the wind whips up fine snow. Locked-off camera, 6 seconds; the track lines must be unbroken and the figure stays near the vanishing point.

Common pitfalls

The lines point out of the frame and the eye wanders off.
Too many crossing lines, with no main path.

Parameter tips

One main leading line plus one supporting line is enough.
