Use deep teal shadows, orange highlights, and a desaturated palette. Only change colour and tone."
📐 7. CAMERA MOVEMENT EDITMake a static shot look dynamic — no stabiliser needed."Add a [camera movement type] to this video as if filmed with a [camera/lens type]. The movement should start [when/how] and feel [slow/fast/smooth]. Do not change the subject, background, or colour."Example: "Add a slow cinematic push-in movement as if filmed with an anamorphic lens. Start from the first frame and feel smooth and deliberate. Do not change the subject or background."

Apply matching [grain/texture/colour/lighting]. Keep [subject] unchanged. The result should feel [desired feeling] without looking like a filter."Example: "Re-style to look like 90s film photography. Apply light grain, faded highlights, and warm muted tones. Keep my face and outfit unchanged. The result should feel nostalgic — not like an Instagram filter."
