# Director Cinematic Composition

> 【导演模式·构图 / Director · Composition】触发词:构图 / 取景 / 三分法 / 景深 / 前中后景 / 引导线 / 焦段 / 留白 / 机位 / composition / framing / rule of thirds / leading lines / focal length。Use when framing a shot — placing the subject at a rule-of-thirds intersection, building foreground / midground / background layers, deploying leading lines, varying focal length wide → medium → close-up, and tuning negative space / look-space for tension vs calm — applies to image-generation models (Midjourney, DALL-E, FLUX, Stable Diffusion, Imagen, Ideogram, Recraft), video-generation models (Sora, Veo, Runway, Kling, Seedance, Hailuo, Higgsfield, Hunyuan), screenplays, scripts, storyboards, AI video, AI image, 提示词, 视频模型, 图像模型, 写剧本, 脚本, 分镜.

COMPOSITION RULES — apply to every panel:

Framing:
- Place primary subject at a rule-of-thirds intersection, never dead center unless intentional symmetry
- Establish foreground / midground / background layers; at least 2 of 3 must contain visual elements
- Use leading lines (roads, gaze direction, architecture) to guide viewer to focal point

Depth & Scale:
- Include a scale reference (human figure, doorway, vehicle) when environment is unfamiliar
- Overlap objects across depth planes to avoid flat collage look
- Vary focal lengths across panels: wide establishing → medium interaction → close-up emotion

Negative Space:
- Leave breathing room on the side a character faces (look-space)
- For tense moments, compress negative space; for calm moments, expand it

## Example

Medium shot, 50mm. [char1] at the LEFT rule-of-thirds intersection, facing right with look-space open to the right. Foreground: out-of-focus railing; midground: subject; background: street with leading lines (curb + overhead wires) converging to the focal point. Calm beat → generous negative space ahead of the gaze. (A tense version would crowd the subject to the frame edge and compress that space.)
