Horror    Suspense    Atmospheric 

Dark residential hallway, 3am. Moonlight from a window at one end. Absolute quiet.  [Woman in white nightgown] wakes up, sits on bed edge in background -- barely visible. She looks toward the door. Something is wrong. She stands slowly. She moves to the doorframe, looks down the hall. The camera is at the far end of the hallway, static, low to the ground. Something at the edge of frame shifts. Not clearly visible. Just movement. She freezes. So does the camera. The hall light flickers once. She steps back.  Camera: Static low-angle wide of hallway throughout. Do NOT cut. No movement. Audio: Total silence except for one floorboard creak, distant settling of house. SFX: Single light flicker hum. One distant sound that cannot be identified.

The Quiet Moment

Still life, pure atmosphere, no narrative

Try Now

Atmospheric    Minimal 

A single candle on a wooden table. Window behind it. Night rain against the glass. Nothing else.  The flame breathes -- alive but still. Shadow dances on the wall behind it. Rain trails on the window move slowly down. Some catch light from inside. The candle wax melts imperceptibly. A thin thread of smoke spirals up once. The camera does not move. We watch. That is all. 15 seconds of the most honest stillness.  Camera: Completely static. Do not move under any circumstance. All motion belongs to the candle, the rain, the shadows. Audio: Rain on glass, the almost-sound of the flame, deep interior silence. No music. No SFX additions. Pure recorded reality. Style: Warm amber candle against cold blue rain. Maximum tonal contrast. Grain. Real and quiet.

Tip: This prompt works beautifully as a loop. Use Atlabs' first-and-last-frame control to make it seamlessly infinite.

Pro Tips for Better Kling 3.0 Results

-> Use time codes for multi-shot: "Shot 1 (0-5s): ... Shot 2 (5-10s):..." gives Kling precise pacing control over 15-second videos.

-> Name your characters: Use bracketed labels like [Character A: name, description] and reference them consistently throughout the prompt.

-> SFX notation works: Add SFX: [specific sound] anywhere in your prompt to trigger specific audio events at that moment.

-> Negative prompts matter: Always add "No morphing textures, stable face, no flickering, no artifacts" to your negative prompt field.

-> Camera terminology is interpreted literally: Kling 3.0 understands dolly, crane, rack focus, handheld, speed ramp. Use cinematography vocabulary precisely.

-> Silence is powerful: Explicitly writing "No music. Silence is the scene." often produces more atmospheric audio results than vague style cues.

-> Pro model for dialogue: Use Kling 3.0 Pro on Atlabs for any prompt that includes spoken dialogue. It produces dramatically more consistent lip-sync and character identity.
