11. Filming Style

Pick one or two global film looks — primary plus optional secondary — merged into every shot after direction is locked.

Filming style is step 11. You choose up to two tiles from the styles gallery:

  • First click = Primary — leads the merged look and supplies the main reference plate sent with generations.
  • Second click = Secondary — blended underneath in one fused prompt block (not a second full stack on every shot).
  • Click a selected tile again to clear it. With two picked, clicking a third tile replaces the secondary (primary stays unless you clear it).

The app saves the merged written look and may attach one or two reference stills so every render in Generate shares the same photographic personality.

This sits on top of Shot direction — it does not replace what happens in each shot.

What this step is for

The whole video feels like one film, not unrelated stock clips — even when you fuse two moods, the primary leads.

Before you start

Shot direction must be locked. Until then you will see a notice and Lock filming style stays inactive — that is intentional.

What to do

  1. Open Filming style in Project Plan.
  2. Click a style tile — the chip shows Primary (first pick).
  3. Click a second tile (optional) — the chip shows Secondary; the preview row shows both plates labelled Primary / Secondary.
  4. Open Prompt text appended to every shot and read the merged block — that language rides along with every generation in Step 12.
  5. Press Lock filming style when it feels right (at least one tile required).
  6. Later you can Unlock (keep editing) or Clear style (start over — Generate will ask you to choose again).

Good to know

  • Wrong story or blocking → fix Shot direction. Wrong overall film texture → fix Filming style (or drop the secondary tile if two moods fight).
  • Odd habits that apply to the whole video can live in the merged prompt (“slight tilt when the villain appears”).
  • One tile is fine — you do not have to pick two unless you want a deliberate blend.
