14 Sora 2 prompt templates and examples for best video generation

Video generation tools like Open AI Sora 2 open new doors for creative storytelling. But to get strong results, you need good prompt patterns. A well-structured prompt helps guide framing, lighting, motion, pacing, and mood. In this post I share 14 prompt templates you can use (or adapt) to produce polished video sequences. Each template gives a modular “fill in the blanks” style you can drop into, plus example prompts to get started.

I aim for human language, simple clear phrasing. You can mix or stack these templates (e.g. use a cinematic shot then a cut to an insert) or adapt them to your topic (education, marketing, narrative, etc.).

By the way, you can generate Awesome Sora 2 Prompts from our Free Sora 2 Prompt Generator

Let’s dive in.

General Prompt Design Principles

Before the templates, a few guidelines:

• Break down the prompt into logical parts: scene description, camera / lens / motion, lighting / color / palette, actions / beats / timing, dialogue (if any), and extra constraints.
• Use short phrases, not long paragraphs, in each part. The model tends to parse that better.
• If you want consistency across shots, reuse certain anchors (colors, mood words, lighting style).
• You can chain multiple templates (shot 1, shot 2, etc.) to build a sequence.
• Use “optional constraints” to prevent unwanted artifacts (e.g. “no interface overlays,” “no watermark,” “avoid unnatural faces,” “no big text labels”).
• Test small variations (swap “low key lighting” vs “soft lighting,” or “slow dolly forward” vs “steady zoom”) to see which yields better visuals.

I’ll present each template with:

1. Prompt Template (a fill-in format you can copy)
2. Explanation / notes of each part
3. Example prompts (with real content) using that template

---

1. Prompt Template: Cinematic Single Shot

Prompt Template:

Scene: [description of characters, environment, mood, props]  
Camera: shot type [e.g. close up / medium / wide / extreme wide], framing, angle, motion  
Lens & focus: [lens focal length notion if needed, depth of field style]  
Lighting & palette: lighting setup (key / fill / rim / ambient, direction), palette anchors [3–5 color words]  
Actions / beats:  
 - Step 1: …  
 - Step 2: …  
Dialogue (if any):  
 - Speaker1: “…”  
 - Speaker2: “…”  
Optional constraints: [e.g. avoid overlays, no text, film grain, no unnatural faces, etc.]

Notes:

• This is a “one shot” or moment prompt: one camera setup, one scene moment.
• Use “lens & focus” to guide blurring or clarity (e.g. shallow depth of field for more cinematic feel).
• Actions / beats help the model animate movement within that shot.
• Dialogue is optional; many scenes are silent or rely on motion.
• Optional constraints prevent artifacts.

Example Prompt A (education / science):

Scene: a scientist in a high tech lab, holographic displays, glass tubes emitting soft glows, ambient mist  
Camera: medium close up, slight low angle, slow dolly in  
Lens & focus: focal length ~85 mm equivalent, shallow depth of field (background soft blur)  
Lighting & palette: key light from top left, fill light subtle, rim light behind, palette anchors: teal, amber, white  
Actions / beats:  
 - Step 1: scientist reaches hand toward hologram  
 - Step 2: hologram reacts, swirling data particles rising  
Dialogue:  
 - Scientist: “Projecting real time quantum map.”  
Optional constraints: no watermark, no big text overlays, avoid interface wires

Example Prompt B (narrative / marketing):

Scene: a person standing at cliff’s edge at sunset, wind in hair, ocean waves far below  
Camera: wide shot, framing with subject off center, slow pan from right to left  
Lens & focus: deep depth of field so both subject and background are sharp  
Lighting & palette: warm golden light from setting sun, soft fill from below, palette: gold, blue, slate  
Actions / beats:  
 - Step 1: person takes a deep breath, looks out  
 - Step 2: hair and clothes flutter in wind  
Dialogue: none  
Optional constraints: no lens flare, no UI overlays, avoid noise artifacts

2. Prompt Template: Two-Shot Sequence

This template helps when you want two connected shots that show progression, or interplay between two angles.

Prompt Template:

Shot 1:  
 Scene: [description]  
 Camera: [shot type, angle, motion]  
 Lighting & palette: [setup, color anchors]  
 Actions / beats: …  
 Dialogue: … (optional)  

Shot 2:  
 Scene: [continuing or shifted scene]  
 Camera: [shot, motion]  
 Lighting & palette: [if changed or consistent]  
 Actions / beats: …  
 Dialogue: …  
Optional constraints (global): [e.g. no text, consistent palette, no artifacts]

Notes:

• Use similar palette anchors in both shots for visual unity.
• The second shot can be a cut, close-in, reaction shot, or alternate view.
• You can shift camera motion or angle to heighten interest.

Example Prompt:

Shot 1:  
 Scene: two colleagues standing by a glass window, cityscape in background  
 Camera: medium wide shot, static, gentle push in  
 Lighting & palette: soft daylight from large window, interior fill light, palette anchors: cool gray, warm tan, blue  
 Actions / beats:

  - Step 2: other colleague nods and taps tablet  
 Dialogue:  
  - Colleague A: “See that building — we should target them.”  
  - Colleague B: “Yes, the metrics look promising.”  

Shot 2:  
 Scene: close up on tablet screen in hand, interface charts displayed  
 Camera: tight insert shot, over shoulder angle  
 Lighting & palette: consistent light, slight reflection on screen, palette: white, teal, orange  
 Actions / beats:  
  - Step 1: finger scrolls through graph  
  - Step 2: graph updates, data pulses  
 Dialogue: none  

Optional constraints: consistent color balance, no UI overlays outside tablet, no text shadows

How to Use / Combine These Templates

• You don’t have to stick to one template. Many videos blend several types. For instance: opening with Title Reveal (14), then Cinematic Single Shot (1), then Montage (3), then Dialogue Scene (4), and closing with Slow Motion (9).
• Keep your palette anchors consistent across shots to maintain cohesion (e.g. always “teal, amber, white” or “blue, gray, gold”).
• If your scenes shift drastically, consider a Transition Shot (you can repurpose Motion Reveal (7) or Time Lapse (11) as transitions).
• Use optional constraints actively to reduce artifacts (many video generation models generate unexpected overlays, ghosting, unnatural limbs, UI, text, etc.).

Tips for Better Results & Troubleshooting

• Start with fewer shots and simple prompts; once you see output, adjust detail / complexity gradually.
• If parts misrender (odd artifacts, warped shapes, weird hands), try adding constraints like “no distortion,” “avoid unnatural limbs,” “clean edges,” “no ghosting.”
• Use consistent color anchors (e.g. always include “teal, amber, white”) across shots to avoid jarring changes.
• If a shot looks dull, adjust lighting (e.g., rim light, backlight) or use “contrasty lighting.”
• If motion is shaky or jittery, explicitly say “smooth motion,” “steady dolly,” or “no jitter.”
• For transitions, you can insert short “motion reveal” or “fade dissolve” cues.
• When you change scene types (e.g. from interior to exterior), you may want a brief neutral shot as buffer or use a motion reveal template.
• Use examples as templates; swap the nouns, settings, mood words, actions, and you’ll get fresh results.

Here’s a quick recap of the 14 templates:

1. Cinematic Single Shot
2. Two-Shot Sequence

You can mix, reorder, nest them. Use “optional constraints” to control artifacts. Use palette anchors for cohesion. Use brief, modular parts to guide the model effectively.

If you like, I can turn this into a ready-to-copy “prompt builder sheet” or provide 14 additional examples in your topic domain (e.g. marketing, education, product launch). Would you like me to build that for you?
