What to change.
And why.
The explanations, examples and exercises are in the course. This page is your short reminder while working.
Start with the scene.
Who is there? What are they doing? Where is the camera? What lights the scene? Answer those before choosing effects. The books’ “70/30” idea is a useful reminder to spend more attention on the scene than technical adjectives; you do not need to count words.
Use the eleven decisions.
Creative direction → composition → lighting → setting → subjects → wardrobe → objects and interaction → textures → color → post-processing → overall impression.
Make one useful revision.
Name the visible problem, change the sentence that controls it, save both versions, and compare. “The mug handle is deformed” leads to an action. “Make it better” does not.
Before you share.
Check faces, hands, objects and shadows at normal viewing size and close up. Label fictional AI concepts clearly. Keep source and approval records for commercial work. An AI disclosure does not itself grant permission to use a person or brand.
