GUIDE
How to direct a scene
The short answer: Decide what the audience should feel, then describe what the camera sees: who is in the shot, where they are, how the light falls, what moves and the one moment the scene builds to.
1. Start with the feeling
Before anything else, name the emotion: lonely, hopeful, nervous, triumphant. Every other choice serves that feeling.
2. Choose your recurring cast
Use Cast Locker in the studio menu to save your own likeness or an original character, with a name, another photo angle or a saved outfit. Cast in a new film starts a production with that character selected; you can also choose saved characters while planning a film.
Keep the same wardrobe details in each direction and check the storyboard. Look locked means the references are saved, not that every generated shot will match exactly.
3. Choose the shot
Wide shots show where we are. Medium shots show what people are doing. Close-ups show what they feel.
Pick one per scene and say it first: "Close-up of her face as…"
4. Light it on purpose
Say where the light comes from and what colour it is: "warm golden sunset from behind", "cold blue neon from the side". Light sets the mood faster than anything else.
5. Give the camera one move
A slow push-in builds emotion. A pull-back reveals. A still camera feels calm or tense. One move per shot looks professional; several look messy.
6. Direct one action
Write what the person does in plain words: "she lowers the microphone and looks to the back of the room". Small, real gestures read better than big ones.
7. Keep your direction portable
Once every scene has a written direction and an approved picture, choose Director’s Package in the storyboard or review step. Prepare and download the ZIP: approved pictures, matching prompts, cast notes and a shot list keep your plan together.
You can still generate videos here. To finish elsewhere, upload the pictures and paste the prompts into your chosen tool yourself; adjust its settings and check each result. Export generates nothing and uses no Bunny Coins. Audio and finished videos are not included.
8. End on a moment
Every scene should land on something: a smile, a reveal, a look. That moment is what links it to the next scene.
Director's tip: Example direction: "Slow push-in, warm golden light from behind, he tucks her hair behind her ear and she smiles." Feeling, shot, light, move and moment in one line.
