How do you write a prompt that a video model follows in every detail?

On Higgsfield: In Cinema Studio, write the camera move explicitly with its speed, path and end framing, and let the camera movement preset set the register the move runs in.

Without Higgsfield: When a video model ignores the prompt, stop adding words and draw it a map, and write any camera move in plain terms with its speed, path and end framing. Block the scene first, saying where each person or object sits relative to the others and the camera, write each request like a line from a professional board with shot size, action and timing, and label reference images with the same names the prompt uses.

Axis: specific settings, references and an explicit order ... general mood words

Concept: prompt adherence
