1. Coming up with an idea

Define the main concept or message of the video. Consider your target audience and the purpose of the video—whether it’s to inform, entertain, or inspire.

2. Creating a story and storyboard

Outline the narrative with a beginning, middle, and end. Break down the story into individual scenes and sketch a rough storyboard to visualize the flow and key moments.

3. Looking for shot references for the storyboard

Search for visual references that match the mood, camera angles, and style you want. These references can guide you in crafting consistent prompts and visuals later.

4. Prescribing a prompt for each frame for Midjourney

Write detailed prompts for each frame based on the storyboard and references. Include specifics like the setting, lighting, and mood to ensure Midjourney generates coherent visuals that align with the story. Mostly environmental and lighting descriptions are not changed, but a camera angle, view, etc. are.

5. Improving frame quality in Magnific AI

Use Magnific to upscale and enhance each generated frame. This will improve resolution, detail, and make the images more visually appealing for the final video, bring realistic view for some artefacts that Midjourney doesn’t along with.
