For this subject: Strong single image with clear space; covers must work as a thumbnail before anything else.
  • Leave the typography out entirely and reserve the space — generated cover text is never usable.
  • Describe the lighting itself — "hard low side-key with deep negative fill" locks a cinematic look without naming a real person.
  • Ask for one light source only; cinematic images live on contrast.
  • Add "negative fill on camera left" for deeper, more expensive-looking shadows.
