Documentary video style

The observational register: real light, patient framing, texture over polish. Use it when credibility is the message — founder stories, process films, place portraits, social-issue pieces.

How to use it
  1. 1Copy an example, or describe a real moment as if you witnessed it — who, where, what light.
  2. 2Let the camera observe: slow pans, static tripod frames, a handheld follow. No stylized moves.
  3. 3Write the ambient sound into the prompt — room tone and street noise are what make it feel found, not made.
  4. 4A longer duration (10–15s) gives documentary pacing room to breathe.
