## How to use it

1. Add your subject, if you have one.
2. Tap one card in each group you care about: shot size, angle, lens or camera move.
3. Copy the words into Midjourney, ChatGPT, Gemini, Stable Diffusion or a video model.

## Tips

- Pick one shot size and one angle. Two angles in one prompt confuse the model.
- Lens words also change the background: 85mm blurs it, 14mm shows more of it.
- Low angles make subjects look strong; high angles make them look small.
- For video, a static shot or a slow push in gives the cleanest motion.

## FAQ

### Do image models understand camera terms?

Yes. Midjourney, ChatGPT, Gemini, Flux and Stable Diffusion all learned from photos captioned with these words, so shot size, angle and lens all change the result.

### What's the difference between shot size and angle?

Shot size is how much of the subject is in frame, from extreme close-up to wide. The angle is where the camera is, like low, high or overhead.

### Which lens is best for portraits?

85mm. It flatters faces and blurs the background. 35mm and 50mm feel more natural and show more of the scene.

### Can I use these words in video prompts?

Yes. Add a camera move too. Sora, Veo, Runway and Kling all respond to moves like push in, pan and tracking shot.
