71 words · 449 characters

Neo-noir cinematic film frame of a lone woman in a long tan trench coat standing beside a vintage sedan outside a roadside motel on an empty desert highway at dusk, a buzzing pink neon vacancy sign without readable letters, long shadows across cracked asphalt, purple and tangerine sky, distant mesas, a single flickering streetlamp turning on, symmetrical wide composition, 35mm film grain, muted teal and magenta grade, mysterious and lonely mood.

Flux follows plain descriptive language closely. Set the aspect ratio in your app's size setting; negative prompts are not needed.

Questions about this prompt

Which AI model is this cinematic prompt written for?

It was written and tested for Flux, but the format buttons above rewrite it for Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, DALL·E, Flux, Ideogram and Leonardo, so you can paste it into the tool you already use.

Can I change the aspect ratio or style?

Yes. The prompt is set for 16:9, which suits this composition. In Midjourney change the --ar value; in other apps pick the size in settings. Use the remix panel to swap the style, lighting, camera or mood without rewriting the whole prompt.

Is this prompt free to use for commercial work?

The prompt text is free to copy, edit and use. Whether you can sell the image depends on the terms of the AI model that generates it, so check your plan on that platform before using results commercially.
