Cinematic Book Cover Film Still
───────────────────────────────

PROMPT
Cinematic film still of a symbolic cover illustration, a flat graphic background. Anamorphic 40mm lens, shallow focus, volumetric haze catching the key light, motivated practical lighting from within the scene. clear space reserved for title and author. evocative tone, teal-and-amber grade with lifted filmic blacks, 2.39:1 widescreen framing, shot on ARRI Alexa, fine 35mm grain, ultra detailed, colour graded like a feature film.

NEGATIVE PROMPT
garbled title text, cluttered composition, no copy space, competing focal points, low contrast, misspelled words, flat lighting, video-game render, cartoon, muddy shadows, blown highlights, motion blur on the subject, text, subtitles, watermark, deformed anatomy, duplicate elements, low detail

RECOMMENDED SETTINGS
Midjourney: --ar 21:9 --style raw --v 7 --s 350
Flux: guidance 3, 32 steps
SDXL: CFG 5.5, 40 steps, add a cinematic LoRA at 0.6 weight
Finish with a subtle halation and 2% grain pass.

For this subject: Strong single image with clear space; covers must work as a thumbnail before anything else.

CAPTION
A single frame that feels like the middle of a film you already love.

Describe the lighting itself — "hard low side-key with deep negative fill" locks a cinematic look without naming a real person.
