Great Prompt Anatomy

Every solid Veo 3 prompt requires 8 mandatory components.

The 8 Must-Have Components

1. Subject

What it is: Who or what appears in the shot
Example: "A glass of red wine" or "Young couple under umbrella"
Why mandatory: Defines focal point; AI will invent subject if not specified

2. Setting

What it is: Where and when the scene happens
Example: "White linen tablecloth" or "Rain-soaked cobblestone street at dusk"
Why mandatory: Anchors spatial and temporal context
