Scene Reference for Video
Give the moment a place to happen.
A room, a street, or an open landscape can give your video idea a setting. Use a scene reference to explain the space around the subject: where the action happens, what is nearby, and what the camera can see.
Focus on the parts of the place that matter to the moment, from a doorway behind the character to a path leading into the distance.
From a Place to a Scene Idea
Look at the reference and the result together. Compare the layout, the subject's position, and the parts of the environment described in the prompt.

Explain the Space Around the Subject
- Identify the Place
- Describe the room, street, landscape, or other setting that anchors your idea.
- Map the Relationships
- State where the subject stands and which objects or areas are near, behind, or beyond it.
- Place the Camera
- Describe the view into the space and where the action should lead the viewer's attention.
Start with the Setting You Have in Mind
Bring the scene reference into your video concept, then describe the subject and action you want to place within it.
Try Reference to VideoIf color, lighting, or texture matters more than the place itself, explore Style Reference for that visual direction.
