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.

Western style: desert and distant mesas, strong low-angle dusk light casting long shadows, dust drifting in the wind. On the only street in a small town, two men in cowboy hats face off twenty meters apart as a tumbleweed rolls between them. The older one narrows his eyes: “By sundown, you'd better be gone.” 6 seconds, the characters' positions stable, no modern vehicles.

Common pitfalls

Costumes from the wrong era, with modern props mixed in.
Shot sizes too tight lose the sense of openness.

Parameter tips

Distance between the characters and the empty space decides the tension; don't rush to push in.
