How to Write High-Quality Sora2 Prompts (Structure is Key)

For Sora2, a simple one-line description rarely produces a consistent or detailed image. The key to generating high-quality and focused results is structured prompts.

The 5 Essential Components

A well-structured prompt usually includes five components:

1. Type

Determines the overall visual style, such as "a cinematic scene" or "an anime illustration."

2. Scene

Defines the environment, e.g., "inside a cozy coffee shop" or "on a futuristic rooftop."

3. Atmosphere

Adds mood and emotion, like "warm and welcoming" or "mysterious and eerie."

4. Camera / Angle

Guides composition, such as "wide shot," "aerial view," or "close-up portrait."

5. Lighting

Enhances details and depth, e.g., "natural morning light" or "dramatic cinematic lighting."

Before vs. After Example

❌ Poor Prompt

"a coffee shop"

Often generates random fragments in Sora2 with inconsistent results.

✅ Structured Prompt

"A cinematic scene inside a cozy coffee shop, warm atmosphere, medium shot, natural morning light"

Results in stable, visually appealing output with clear mood and composition.

Why Structure Matters

By following this structure, even simple ideas can be expanded into rich, detailed prompts that Sora2 can interpret effectively. The structured approach ensures:

Consistency: Predictable and stable results
Quality: Higher visual fidelity and detail
Control: Better command over the final output
Efficiency: Less trial and error needed

💡 Pro Tip

Start with the scene type, then build out each component systematically. This methodical approach will dramatically improve your Sora2 results.
