Tracking Shot

The camera moves alongside a character at her pace, holding her steady in frame while the background slides away.

Tracking Shot AI Video Prompt

Tracking shot: Track the next sprint from Biwa's side at her speed, with the start, the sprint and the stop all visible without a break, and the walls and lamps in the background clearly moving backward. Before the group reaches the fork, a loud crash and the sound of boots come from the door behind them first, and only then does Biwa stop and turn her head to listen, still holding the box in both hands. Ruk stops at the mouth of the fork, looks first at the wide left branch, then at the narrow right branch, and turns his body toward the right branch, without making running motions on the spot.

Camera Control

The camera is placed ahead of Biwa and to her side, traveling parallel to her. For the second or so of running she stays in the center of the frame, the box in her arms holding its place, while the lamps and stone wall behind her slide back. When the group pulls up, the camera stops with them and the shot settles into a standing composition.

In a tracking shot the camera's speed has to stick to the subject's: as the subject starts, speeds up and stops, the camera does the same, so the subject holds a steady spot in the frame and the movement of the background becomes the evidence of speed. In the prompt, say who the camera follows, from which side, and whether it moves parallel or at an angle, and give the background recognizable reference points, like the wall lamps here.

To keep the audience right beside a character on the move, mark which side the camera travels on in your storyboard and make your own tracking sequence with the fuse AI film maker.

Story Clip

Source film EP4 Shot 2 · Tunnel · 00:05–00:10

Biwa, holding the sealed box, runs a short stretch through the tunnel with the group and stops; MeiHua, White and Suseka pull up behind her. In the foreground Ruk turns to face the group, then turns away to the other side.

What to Watch For

The first second or so is where the tracking is clearest: Biwa's coat streams behind her and she barely moves within the frame while the wall and lamps behind her move. When the group stops, so does the camera, and the next three-plus seconds are a standing shot. There, notice Biwa still holding the box in both hands, and Ruk in the foreground turning first toward everyone and then toward the right of the frame.
