Cinematique: Single-Page Reference of 150 Film Techniques with Prompts

X postIvan FlugelmanResource

Ivan Flugelman has launched a web-based guide compiling 150 cinematic techniques on a single page, pairing each concept with visual video examples, explanations, and generative prompts.

Key points

  1. Covers 150 techniques spanning camera movement, lighting, composition, editing, genre, storytelling, and VFX.
  2. Each entry features an example shot, a concise explanation, and a ready-to-use prompt designed for generative video and image tools.
  3. The resource was built over a weekend using automated API calls to generate the video outputs, which were then curated manually.

Why it matters

Generating specific cinematic looks with AI models often stalls when creators lack exact film terminology. Providing a visual reference alongside exact prompt text helps bridge this vocabulary gap in creative workflows.

Analysis

Flugelman addresses a practical friction point in AI-assisted video production by pairing traditional filmmaking terms directly with functional prompts. The project also showcases how programmatic API generation combined with human curation can quickly yield comprehensive domain-specific reference materials.

I put 150 film techniques on one page. Camera, lighting, composition, editing, genre, storytelling, VFX. Each one comes with an example shot, a short explanation, and the prompt written out for the moment you know the shot you want and the words won't come. t.co/9cmiVaYYtj
