Introduction

Directors Console is an AI-powered film production support tool designed to help film directors, video creators, and content creators efficiently create prompts and improve their film production workflow.

🚀 Basic Workflow

📝 Create Script

Create a new script and set its name.

In the script area, describe the story and scene details of your film. You can input up to 6000 characters.

🎯 Select Tool

Select the appropriate tool from V1, V2, V3. Each tool offers different levels of functionality.

📍 Turn on Timeline and Place 📌 Sticky Notes

When you turn on the timeline, a frosted glass timeline appears above the script.

Click on the relevant part of the script to place a sticky note (prompt).

🪄 Design Scene

Set up lenses, camera work, dialogue, conversations, extras, styles, atmosphere, etc. Easy!：🍕 You can design prompts like choosing pizza toppings.

If the topping you want isn't in the list, you can request it. If your suggestion is adopted, we'll invite you to the premium plan with all features—for free.

📌💾 Save Sticky Notes

Right-click (or long press on mobile) on the sticky notes created on the timeline while selected and choose "Overwrite Save".

If you save the script without overwriting the sticky notes, the sticky note content will not be saved.

🛜💾 Save Project to Cloud

Use the "Save" button on the script to save the entire project (created script and prompts). When saving is complete, a toast notification will appear at the top of the screen. If notifications don't appear, press the 🍞 button to test. If it still doesn't appear, reload the page.

🍞 No notification after saving? First, test the system

First, press the 🍞 button to test if toast notifications are displayed properly. If notifications don't appear, please reload the page.

⚠️ Warning: Reloading without saving will lose data, so we recommend testing first.

🛠️ Tool-Specific Feature Guide

movie v1 🎦

Incorporates cinematic camera work (lens & movement & adjectives) into prompts. Designs video style, cut atmosphere/emotion, background/extras.

movie v2 🙍

Designed for cuts with dialogue, without dialogue, or narration from a single subject. (If subject is left blank, it becomes narration.) + V1 features

movie v3 👫

Designed for cuts with dialogue between two people. + V1 features

📣 When the word you want isn't available

In the Movie Editor, you choose from a fixed set of terms (lenses, basic camera moves, modifiers/adjectives, style, atmosphere). If the word you want isn't in the list, you can request it through our Word Request Campaign.

If your requested term is adopted and implemented in the app, you will be invited to the paid plan for free. The invitation will be sent to the email you enter in the form—please use the same address you use to log in to the app.

Go to Word Request Campaign

✍ What scene should you write? (One sentence is enough)

Before thinking about camera work, write one sentence describing “where / who / what is happening”. This becomes the foundation for choosing lens, camera movement, style, and atmosphere.

✅ Example (ready to use)

A hero stands still in a town at dawn.

Tip: write only what will appear on screen. (You can add mood later via Atmosphere in Step 3.)

🧩 A simple template

Where: at dawn in a town / in a rainy alley / in the desert
Who: a hero / a lone explorer / a shadowy figure
What: stands still / runs / stares back

Tip: keep it short. Start with “where + who + what”, then add details in Step 2 and Step 3.

Camera Work Details

🍕 Think of this as a “camera-work menu”. Like choosing pizza toppings, just pick what feels right. There’s no single correct answer—start with one and adjust until it matches your intent. If the move you want isn’t listed, you can suggest it via the Word Request Campaign.

1. Physical Movement

Dolly In

Camera movement toward the subject. Creates tension and focus.

Example: Slow dolly in on her face as her expression hardens with new resolve.

Dolly Out

Camera movement away from the subject. Creates loneliness or openness.

Example: Slow dolly out to reveal the vast desert, emphasizing his isolation.

Tracking Shot

Camera work that moves with the subject. Expresses continuity of movement.

Example: Smooth tracking shot following the detective through the crime scene.

2. Panning

Pan

Horizontal camera rotation. Used to introduce landscapes or situations.

Example: Slow pan right across a serene zen garden, from stone lantern to sand pattern.

Tilt

Vertical camera rotation. Expresses vertical relationships.

Example: Start on boots, then tilt up slowly to reveal the full armor.

3. Crane/Jib

Jib Up

Camera movement upward. Creates grandeur and openness.

Example: A couple kisses, the camera gracefully jib ups high above.

Crane

Large-scale vertical movement. Creates dramatic effects.

Example: Crane down from the wide city view to focus on the lone figure on the rooftop.

4. Zoom & Focus

Zoom In

Changes the focal length of the lens to magnify the subject. Creates tension.

Example: Slow zoom in on the mysterious letter, creating tension as details become clearer.

Zoom Out

Changes the focal length of the lens to reduce the subject. Reveals the big picture.

Example: Zoom out to reveal the character is actually in a massive, futuristic laboratory.

5. Lens Selection

🍕 The lens is your “framing topping”: wide, standard, or telephoto. Pick intuitively. If you’re unsure, start with Standard (50mm) for a safe baseline. If you want a lens term that’s not in the list, use the Word Request Campaign.

Wide Angle Lens

Used for shooting landscapes and buildings with a wide field of view. Can emphasize scale.

Example: Wide-angle shot of vast mountain range, emphasizing nature's scale and majesty.

Standard Lens (50mm)

Most natural field of view closest to human vision. Suitable for portraits and everyday scenes.

Example: Medium shot with 50mm lens capturing intimate conversation between two characters.

Telephoto Lens (85-200mm+)

Magnifies the subject and blurs the background. Suitable for close-ups and long-distance shooting.

Example: Telephoto close-up of actor's eyes, capturing subtle emotions in expression.

6. Camera Work Modifiers (Adjectives)

🍕 Adjectives are “seasoning toppings”. Add one nuance on top of the movement (Dolly / Pan, etc.). Start with just one—swap it to change the feel quickly. Missing an adjective you want? You can request it via the campaign.

In Step 2 “📷 Design Camera”, you combine lens, basic movement (Dolly In / Pan / Tilt, etc.) and modifiers (adjectives) to describe *how* the camera feels. Even with the same Dolly In, a “slow Dolly In” and a “suspenseful Dolly In” create completely different impressions.

Adjectives for Emotional Rise

Use these when you want to emphasize the character’s inner emotions and lift the audience’s feelings.

slow — Lets the audience slowly savor the emotion.
emotional — Highlights strong feelings like joy, anger, or sorrow.
soaring — Fits moments of victory, liberation, or uplift.

Prompt examples: “A slow Dolly In that moves in on the victorious hero’s expression.” “A soaring Crane Up that rises from the hero on the mountain peak into the sky.”

Adjectives for Scale and Grandeur

Use these when you want to express the size, sacredness, or epic scale of the world or landscape.

majestic — For sacred, weighty scenes like temples or peaks.
epic — Emphasizes huge scale, like vast valleys or battlefields.
awe-inspiring — Makes the audience feel overwhelmed by the view.

Prompt examples: “An epic Pan Right with a 24–35mm lens that smoothly reveals a vast, newly discovered valley.” “An awe-inspiring Dolly Out that contrasts a lone explorer with the scale of the canyon.”

Adjectives for Loneliness and Distance

Use these when you want to show distance between the character and the world, or a sense of sadness and coldness.

slow — Creates a heavy, almost frozen sense of time.
melancholy — Fits loss, farewells, and emotional afterglow.
distancing — Keeps the camera away, emphasizing isolation.

Prompt examples: “A slow Dolly Out on an empty, rain-slicked street that emphasizes a melancholy mood.” “A distancing Pan Left that watches a solitary figure from far away.”

Adjectives for Suspense and Unease

Use these when you want the audience to feel tension, unease, and a fear of what might happen next.

suspenseful — Suggests that something is about to happen.
dramatic — Fits climaxes and major turning points.
ominous — Feels like something bad is looming ahead.

Prompt examples: “A suspenseful Dolly In down a dark, narrow alley, slowly approaching a shadowy figure.” “An ominous Pan Right that slowly sweeps along an empty hallway.”

🎯 Decide the camera “From” and “To”

In Step 2, “From” and “To” let you describe where the camera moves from and to (or how the viewpoint changes) in short phrases. You can leave them blank, but filling them helps you control what the audience sees at the end of the shot.

From (examples)

- low angle
- over the subject’s shoulder
- close-up on feet
- wide establishing view

Example: low angle

To (examples)

- high angle overlooking the city
- close-up on the hero’s eyes
- the key in their hand
- a silhouette beyond the door

Example: high angle overlooking the city

🍕 Tip: “To” is your final frame—the last impression. Decide what you want to show at the end first, then write it into “To”.

Prompt examples: “From a low angle to a high angle overlooking the city, capture it with a majestic Pan Right.” “From a close-up on feet to a close-up on the hero’s eyes, capture it with a slow Dolly In.”

🎨 Step 3: Make the Scene Concrete (Style & Atmosphere)

🍕 Step 3 is where you pick “look” and “emotion” toppings. Don’t overthink—just choose what you like. If unsure, pick two Atmosphere options first, then add one Style. To suggest more style or atmosphere options, use the Word Request Campaign.

In Step 3, you choose the visual direction (Style) and the emotional tone (Atmosphere). You can select multiple options for both, and your choices are automatically reflected in the generated prompt.

🎬 Style (Multi-select)

Press “Select…” to open the style list (the modal shows “Style (multi-select)” at the top). If you want a consistent look, selecting 1–3 styles is usually best.

Examples available in the app

- Cinematic
- Film Noir
- Arthouse Film Style
- 1980s Film Style
- Documentary Style
- Handheld Camera
- One Take Sequence
- Music Video Style
- Maintain original frame integrity

How it appears in the prompt: “Cinematic, Film Noir style. …”

🌫️ Atmosphere (Multi-select)

Press “Select…” to open the atmosphere list (the modal shows “Atmosphere (multi-select)” at the top). Atmosphere words describe emotion—combining 2–4 usually communicates intent well.

Examples available in the app

- a sense of hope
- a triumphant feeling
- building suspense
- a dark and ominous mood
- serene and tranquil
- a dreamlike quality
- fast-paced and thrilling
- nostalgic and longing

How it appears in the prompt: “… Create an atmosphere of a sense of hope and a triumphant feeling.”

Tip: Style sets the visual rules; Atmosphere sets the emotional rules. If you’re unsure, pick two Atmosphere options first, then add a Style.

🏙️ Background (Extras)

In the "Background (Extras)" field, you can describe the location, the look of the background, and any elements you want in the frame. You can enter just a place, just an action, or combine both in one sentence.

Examples

- A New York street
- Birds flying
- People passing by
- People passing by on a New York street (background and extras combined)

What you enter is included in the prompt so the scene is described more concretely.

👤 V2 & V3: Keeping Characters Consistent (Subject Field)

In V2 (single subject: with dialogue, without dialogue, or narration) and V3 (two-person dialogue), the "Subject" field lets you describe each character’s appearance and traits. Using the same description across shots helps the AI keep the same character consistent in your video.

A short "character brief" of around 200 characters—age, build, hair, clothes, overall impression—works well. Keep it in your script or notes and copy-paste whenever you need that character again.

Example: AI character prompt (e.g. Have AI describe a film character in one sentence, ~200 chars: race, age, build, hair, clothes, impression—like “…appearance of Tom.”)

Tom: a 32-year-old white man, 185cm, solid build, short blond buzz cut with neat stubble, sharp blue eyes, wearing a navy bomber jacket over a clean white plain T-shirt, broad shoulders and a defined jaw—an active, strong presence.

V3: Assign dialogue to the right character

In V3, you assign both a description and dialogue to Subject A and Subject B. By tying each line to the right character, you reduce mix-ups like "the wrong person said this line," which means fewer retakes and less credit usage.
