How to structure prompts for Veo 3.1
Describe a coherent shot over time and integrate ambience, dialogue or sound effects when audio matters.
Cinematic
8-second rainy-night street shot. A black sports car enters frame from the left and passes close to camera, realistic tire spray on wet asphalt, low tracking camera maintains the same side profile, neon reflections move across the bodywork, distant traffic and rain ambience, no visible text.
Product
6-second premium product shot of a matte-black perfume bottle on dark stone. Slow controlled push-in, condensation catches a narrow rim light, background reflections stay soft and stable, subtle room tone with one clean glass tap at the end, leave negative space on the right for post-production copy.

Preserve the person, wardrobe and room exactly as shown in the reference. The subject slowly stands from the chair, pauses, then turns toward the window. Camera makes a subtle lateral slide only; keep lighting direction and furniture geometry unchanged.
