Build a Cinematic Scene

Text to Video

Text-led Scene

Prompt idea

Create a cinematic scene of an adult woman walking alone through a rain-soaked city street at night, holding a black umbrella. She walks past glowing storefronts, slows down beneath a streetlight, then turns her head as if she has noticed someone behind her. Rain falls steadily, reflections shimmer across the pavement, and her coat moves naturally as she walks. Begin with a medium-wide tracking shot from the side, then slowly move closer as she turns. Use moody cinematic lighting, realistic movement, and detailed urban reflections.
