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.

Composition with large negative space, the subject tucked into the lower right corner and very small, the rest a clean gray-white sky. On a wasteland after a blizzard, a person in a black coat stands beside a lone tree; he puts his hands in his pockets, slowly turns and walks away. 6 seconds, the empty area clean and clutter-free, no gradient noise.

Common pitfalls

The empty space gets filled with detail and the pressure disappears.
The subject is too small to make out.

Parameter tips

The empty space needs texture (clouds, wall, fog), not a flat block of color.
