Top Prompts for Music Videos
Suggest a music video concept for a [genre] song with a [tempo/energy, e.g. "slow, introspective" or "upbeat and energetic"] feel, filmable with [constraints, e.g. "one location, no actors besides myself, phone camera"]. Include 4-5 specific shot ideas tied to the song’s actual structure (verse, chorus, bridge, drop), plus a suggested visual palette -- lighting style and color grading -- that would tie the whole video together into one coherent look.
A useful music video concept needs the genre, tempo feel, and a visual reference point — without those, the suggestion defaults to a generic “artist performing somewhere moody” idea with no real visual identity tied to your actual song.
What this produces
A concept with specific shot ideas tied to the song’s structure and energy, a suggested visual palette, and locations or settings that fit your actual budget reality — rather than a generic performance-video suggestion.
Variations
Two ready-to-copy versions for different scales.
Suggest a music video concept for a [genre] song with a [tempo/energy, e.g. “slow, introspective”] feel, filmable with [constraints, e.g. “one location, no actors besides myself, phone camera”]. Include 4-5 specific shot ideas tied to the song’s structure (verse, chorus, bridge), and a simple visual palette (lighting, color) that would tie it together.
Suggest a narrative music video concept for a [genre] song about [general theme or lyrics topic]. Outline a simple story arc that fits the song’s length, 2-3 key visual moments that would land as the strongest scenes, and a suggested setting and visual style (color grade, era reference) for the whole video.

FAQ
Do I need a big budget for this to work?
No — state your actual constraints (one location, no actors, phone camera) explicitly, and the concept will be scaled to something realistically filmable rather than assuming a full production budget.
Can this help with a video for an instrumental track with no lyrics?
Yes — describe the mood and energy instead of lyrics, and ask for a concept built around the song’s structure and feel rather than narrative lyrics.
Can I get help with the actual visuals too, like AI-generated shots?
This prompt focuses on the concept and shot list — for generating actual visuals, pair it with an image or video generation prompt for each specific shot idea.
