Mood & Atmosphere

Priority 4 of 6 — wide reach, soft control

Mood and atmosphere set the overall emotional tone. It has the widest reach of any dimension but the softest control — it biases everything without pinning anything, so treat it as a tone-setter rather than a lock.

One mood line is enough. For physical atmosphere (fog, haze, rain) be specific about the particulate.

Questions

How do I set mood in an AI video prompt?

Add one emotional line written like a cinematographer brief ('quiet, contemplative, lived-in'). Mood has wide reach but soft control, so keep it short.

Can a prompt control atmosphere like fog or haze?

Yes — physical atmosphere (fog, haze, drifting dust, rain) is directly promptable and reads best in motion.
