Short, deliberate briefs make it easier to compare a Kling result with your idea and improve the next take. Use this structure and the examples below.

Try a prompt

In short

  • Start with a subject and a single action.
  • Add the setting, then one camera move and the lighting.
  • Change one detail between takes.
  • Use 9:16 for vertical feeds, 16:9 for landscape and 1:1 for square.

A structure that works

  1. Subject and action: "A cyclist pauses beside a mountain lake."
  2. Setting and time: "at sunrise, mist above the water."
  3. Camera: "the camera slowly pulls back."
  4. Light and mood: "soft gold light, calm atmosphere."

Examples to copy

  • A ceramic cup on a sunlit table. Slow camera orbit, steam drifting upward, warm morning light, a quiet kitchen ambience.
  • A cyclist pauses beside a mountain lake at sunrise. The camera slowly pulls back, revealing mist above the water and distant peaks.
  • Vertical product shot: a silver watch on dark stone, a narrow beam of light moving across the dial, subtle camera push-in.

Common mistakes

  • Several actions in one short clip.
  • Contradictory camera instructions.
  • Long lists of style words without a subject.
  • Expecting readable on-screen text — add titles in an editor instead.
