For video, a good prompt usually describes the subject, the action, the setting, the camera movement and the mood. Small wording changes can change the result a lot.
Example
“Close-up, a small dog runs through shallow water, splashes, golden hour, slow motion.”
Why it matters to you
Your prompt is the main control you have over the result.
