DIRECTOR’S NOTES
Give the scene
some direction.
A useful prompt gives each performer a role, keeps the set simple and tells the camera where to look.
An original two-person duet in a seamless teal studio. Image 1 is the left performer; image 2 is the right performer. Preserve their distinct faces and outfits. A silver microphone hangs between them. The left performer opens while the right performer listens with their mouth closed. Then the right performer takes over as the left nods along. Start with a medium two-shot, move to a close-up, then return to a wide shot. Soft studio light, natural gestures, no text or logos. Use original or authorized audio.
An original creative brief, not a tested guarantee of lip sync or a license to any song.
Separate the two roles
Describe reference image 1 as the left performer and reference image 2 as the right performer. Give each a separate performance window, rather than asking both subjects to rap throughout the entire scene.
Make the setting concrete
A seamless teal studio, soft even lighting and one silver hanging microphone are a clear visual brief. Avoid adding many props or conflicting background instructions.
Use a small shot sequence
A medium two-shot can establish the pair, a close-up can highlight the second performer, and a wide shot can bring them together again. Complex camera changes may reduce identity consistency.
Describe the listener as well as the performer
When one subject performs, specify that the other nods naturally with their mouth closed. This is an instruction, not a promise of exact mouth control or lip sync.
Keep the content original
Use original words or authorized audio. Do not ask for a celebrity’s likeness, a copied voice or a misleading endorsement. Our prompt examples describe the general studio-duet format rather than reproducing lyrics.
