Overall: one continuous [lateral tracking / handheld follow] shot, no cuts. [Location with 3-4 concrete details]. [Look, e.g. cool low-saturation film grade, fine grain].
0–8 s: [subject enters and first action].
8–16 s: [obstacle or change, e.g. a passing bus briefly blocks the view; the camera slows and searches].
16–24 s: [camera re-finds the subject; new action].
24–30 s: [closing action and where the frame settles].
Audio: [ambience], [subject sounds such as footsteps and breathing]. No dialogue. No subtitles. No background music.

Replace everything in [square brackets] with your own details.

Settings & parameters

• Kling 4.0, Omni Reference entry with no assets (text-to-video), duration 30 s
• Multi-shot is on by default; say "one continuous shot, no cuts" to keep a single take
• 1080p or 4K; 21:9 for a cinematic look

Variations

• Add @Image1 defines the main character; preserve her face, hair and clothing. for an original character you designed.
• Shorten to 15 s with three beats for social.

Tips

• Describe what you want to see instead of what to avoid; Kling says negatives raise error rates (except subtitles and music).
• Give objects weight: "the bag swings and thuds against her leg".
