AI Video Creation with Kling AI and Luma: Prompts, Tips, and Step-by-Step Guide

Luma Dream Machine and Kling AI are two artificial intelligence models that produce videos from simple text prompts or images. Luma gives you 30 free credits, which are renewed every month, while Kling gives you 66 free credits.

For logging in to Kling AI use klingai.com. Because as you type in kling ai in google you would get KLINGAI.IO, KLINGAI.ORG.

One thing to note is that if you are using the free version, Luma Dream Machine takes a lot of time. After uploading the image and giving the prompt, you can forget it for 1 to 2 days and then check. In the paid version, you get the result immediately.

I have created a few videos using both. For each image and video, I have shared the prompts below.

In this page i have uploaded the only the image for watching the video click on the link Given in video.

One important thing to note: if you’re not a paid subscriber of Kling AI or Luma AI, even though they offer free credits in their plans, it can take 2 to 3 days to process your videos

Use Case Scenario

Imagine a beauty brand using these face transitions in a video to show how their products work for all skin tones. It’s a perfect way to represent inclusivity! You’d see one face smoothly change into another, showcasing the beauty of different ethnicities. Or picture an art exhibition using these transitions to visually express diversity and human connection.

Each face would transition from one ethnicity to another, celebrating unique features while spreading a message of harmony and inclusion. It’s a beautiful way to remind everyone that, no matter where we come from, we’re all connected.

Video Prompt

In this video, I used two features of Luma Dream Machine: first, the Camera option, and second, the Keyframe option.

Let me start by mentioning that the video was edited in CapCut. For the first transition, where the camera moves from the lady’s bedroom to a cobblestone street, I used the Keyframe feature without any prompts.

In the second transition, where the camera zooms into the cobblestone street, I used the Camera option of Luma (Camera Pushes In).

For the third transition, which features the bakery image, the camera simply moves to the right.

In the fourth transition, the camera moves from the flower shop to the bookstore. Here, I used the Keyframe option again without a prompt. Typically, Luma smooths the transition with the Keyframe feature, so you don’t need to input a prompt.

For the fifth transition, moving from the bookstore to the ice cream shop, I also used the Keyframe feature.

In the final transition, where the camera moves from the theatre image to the lady wearing virtual reality glasses, I used the Keyframe feature.

You might be wondering why I didn’t use a transition from the ice cream shop to the theatre. The reason is that there were people in the ice cream image, and when I used the Keyframe option, Luma morphed the video of the humans in a way that looked odd and unnatural, which was not good to watch

Read More

Best for showcasing arrangements or layouts, such as food flat lays, maps, or interior designs.

High Angle Level

The camera is placed above the subject, looking down.

It looks diagonally downward, giving more context to the surroundings.

Allows for more storytelling, as it includes some background or context.

This makes the subject appear smaller, often giving an impression of vulnerability, weakness, or fear.

Prompt :A majestic ancient city with towering pyramids and grand structures, bustling with a large crowd of people gathered in the main square. In the foreground, a figure dressed in elaborate traditional attire, including a headdress and ceremonial bands, stands with arms raised, addressing the crowd, image taken form top, high angle shot.

Oblique Angle Level

Shot in which the camera is set at an angle on its roll axis so that the horizon line is not level.

Over the Shoulder Level

A shot where the subject is filmed from behind another person’s shoulder, framing the subject in either a medium or close-up view.

Point of View

A shot that shows what a character in a scene is seeing from their point of view.

Reverse Angle Shot

A shot taken from an angle roughly 180 degrees opposite of the previous shot.

Observations: Top-Down View vs. High-Angle View in Image Creation

Let’s explore an interesting observation while experimenting with creating top-down shots and high-angle views using AI tools like MidJourney and ChatGPT.

In Image 1, which was created using ChatGPT, the result aligns perfectly with a top-down shot, as the camera is positioned directly overhead, capturing the baby’s crown and surroundings from a true 90-degree angle. This is an accurate representation of the prompt provided.

However, when the same prompt was given to MidJourney, as seen in Image 2 (right side screenshots), the outputs were not top-down shots but more aligned with high-angle views, where the camera is angled slightly above the subject, creating a perspective where the baby appears to be looking up. This is a limitation of MidJourney, which often struggles to interpret the concept of a top-down view in such contexts.

Interestingly, by tweaking the phrasing of the prompt, as shown in Image 3, using specific terms like “Pure vertical overhead shot, camera perpendicular to the floor”, MidJourney was able to produce a proper overhead shot. This demonstrates that slight changes in the phrasing of your prompt can significantly influence the output.

Types of Camera Shots

• Extreme Long Shot
• Long Shot
• Medium Shot
• Close-up shot:
• Extreme close-up shot

Exreme Long Shot

An extreme long shot shows a large area from a very far distance. It helps the viewer see the entire setting or scene clearly.

Conclusion : Both prompts use the same type of shot—an extreme long shot—but the images turned out differently because of how much of the environment was described.

In Prompt 1, there’s no mention of the sky, so the image feels more focused on the water and rocks. In Prompt 2, by adding the sky and atmosphere, the image feels much larger and more cinematic.

By adding the sky and atmosphere, the image feels much larger and more cinematic.

If you want a cinematic look:
To create a more cinematic feel in your MidJourney images, make sure to include details about the sky or other elements like shadows or mist. These small touches make a huge difference in how the image feels and what it communicates.

By understanding how different prompt details affect the final result, you can better control the type of images you create—whether you want something close-up and intense or wide and cinematic.

Long Shot

Shows the subject from top to bottom,shows the entire area where the action takes place. The whole subject is in frame.

Sometimes, a long-shot prompt doesn’t work. Imagine you want to create an image of a couple walking; in that case, you use the below prompt for the same.

If you use the action word walking, MidJourney understands it better to show a full-body shot and a slightly faraway image, which will include the road and surroundings.

Prompt: a man and women holding hands, walk along the Riviera promenade., gym wear –ar 3:4

Medium Shot

A camera shot which shows approximately

half of the subject’s body.

.

Close Up Shot

A camera shot where a small object or a face completely fills the screen.Framed this tightly, the emotions and reactions of a character dominate the scene.

Extreme Close Up Shot

An extreme close-up shot captures a small detail of the subject, like part of a face, hand, or foot

Midjourney Prompt Structure

When you’re writing a prompt in MidJourney, it helps to start with the type of shot you want, then add the profile (like side, front, or three-quarter view). MidJourney puts more emphasis on the words at the beginning, so starting with these details makes a big difference in how the image turns out.

Here’s how you can structure your prompt

1. Start with the type of shot (e.g., close-up, wide shot, portrait).
2. Mention the profile or angle (e.g., side profile, three-quarter view, front view).
3. Add any specific details or descriptions: (e.g., lighting, setting, style).
4. Include any additional details: like colors or artistic effects toward the end.

Example

1.Prompt: Close-up portrait, dramatic lighting, soft pastel background, intricate details on the face, hyper-realistic, Kodak Portra 160

1.Prompt: Close-up portrait, three quarter profile portrait of a woman, dramatic lighting, soft pastel background, intricate details on the face, hyper-realistic, Kodak Portra 160

2.Prompt: three quarter profile portrait of a woman, Close-up shot, , dramatic lighting, soft pastel background, intricate details on the face, hyper-realistic, Kodak Portra 160

3. Prompt :three quarter profile portrait of a woman, dramatic lighting, soft pastel background, intricate details on the face, hyper-realistic, Kodak Portra 160

Prompt: tungsten Lighting falling from the front, Portrait of a lady in golden yellow suit, beige background, bold, warm, colourful, cheerful, Kodak Portra 800 film type –ar 3:4 (Try the prompt with diff light settings)

Incandescent Lighting: Warm light from traditional light bulbs.

Fluorescent Lighting: Cool light from fluorescent tubes.

Tungsten Light: Warm light from tungsten bulbs.

Tungsten Light Effect in Midjourney:

In these two images, we’ve used a tungsten light effect while generating them in MidJourney to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Tungsten lighting typically gives off a cozy, golden glow, and you can see that reflected in the golden hues across the models’ skin and outfits. It creates a soft, warm light that highlights their features and makes the whole scene feel intimate and rich.

Notice the backgrounds too—those glowing city lights and the beautiful bokeh effect are enhanced by the tungsten lighting. This effect gives the images a warm, cinematic vibe, with orange-yellow tones that you often associate with night photography or indoor lighting.

So if you’re looking to replicate this look in your own MidJourney creations, try experimenting with tungsten lighting to give your images that same warm, golden, and magical atmosphere. It’s a great way to add depth and mood to your images!

In reference to the above two prompt structures, the earlier a term appears in the prompt, the more weight MidJourney tends to give it. If one of the prompt structures isn’t giving the desired result, try switching to the other format.

Background Description

Let Us Understand What Happens When You Include Background Details

When you’re creating prompts for AI image generation tools like MidJourney, every detail you include helps the AI better understand your vision. One critical component that’s often overlooked is the background description. You might think mentioning the main subject is enough, but as this example will show, the background can dramatically impact the final result.

Let’s explore why including the background makes a difference and what happens when you don’t.

Here’s a prompt with a clear background description:

Prompt -side profile, lady standing in front of a french window, afternoon sunlight falling on her, soft shadows , highlighting subtle textures of her skin, The background is softly lit, Kodak Portra 800

Result:

The AI generated consistent and accurate images:

• In all images, the lady is facing the French window as described.
• The softly lit background creates a cohesive atmosphere, aligning perfectly with the lighting direction.

Why? Including “the background is softly lit” gave the AI a clear understanding of how the environment should interact with the subject. This detail helped ensure that the AI interpreted the scene correctly.

What Happens When You Leave Out Background Details?

Now let’s remove the background description from the prompt:

Prompt: Side profile, lady standing in front of a French window, afternoon sunlight falling on her, soft shadows, highlighting subtle textures of her skin, Kodak Portra 800.

Result:

The AI produced inconsistent images:

• Two images showed the lady facing the window as intended.
• The other two images showed the lady with her back to the window, which wasn’t specified.

Why? Without the background description, the AI became confused. While “facing the window” was mentioned, the lack of context about the lighting in the background left the AI uncertain about how to compose the scene. The result? A mix of orientations and lighting that didn’t fully match the intended vision.

Takeaway

Including a detailed background description in your prompt makes all the difference:

• It clarifies the scene for the AI.
• It ensures consistency across images.
• It creates a cohesive relationship between the subject and the environment.

Think of it this way: the background isn’t just a supporting element—it’s an essential part of the story your image is trying to tell.
