💡Hailuo 02 Camera Movement Tutorial

🎬 Transform Your AI Videos into Cinematic Masterpieces

Welcome to the world of Hailuo 02! This is a comprehensive camera movement guide designed specifically for beginner creators. Through this tutorial, you'll learn how to use simple text prompts to create AI videos with professional cinematic quality.

🎥 Fundamentals: Understanding Camera Movement

Before we begin, let's understand what camera movement is. Imagine you're a cinematographer - camera movement is simply how you move your camera:

Three Basic Movement Types

  1. Position Movement - Changes in the camera's spatial location

  2. Angle Rotation - Changes in the camera lens orientation

  3. Focal Length Changes - Zooming in or out with the lens

📝 Hailuo 02 Prompt Structure Basics

The Golden Formula:

Subject Description + Scene Environment + [Camera Movement] + Action/Change + Atmospheric Details

Example Breakdown:

A knight stands at the center of ruins, holding a broken sword while gazing at the burning sky in the distance. [Camera slowly rises from ground level], gradually revealing the desolate surrounding landscape.

  • Subject Description: Knight, broken sword

  • Scene Environment: Center of ruins

  • Camera Movement: [Camera slowly rises from ground level]

  • Action/Change: Gazing at the distance

  • Atmospheric Details: Burning sky, desolate landscape

1The shot pans left while tilting upward, starting from a small rabbit looking up to the left, gradually moving toward the sky, with a balloon floating upward along the rabbit's line of sight.[Pan left] / [Tilt up]
2The shot begins from the rooftop of a dark-toned house, pedestaling up and panning left to capture the magnificent city skyline on the left. In the night, the city is aglow with lights, and in the distant sky, there is a large pale red moon.[Pan left] / [Pedestal up]emains stationary while the shooting angle pans horizontally to the left or right.
3A knight stands in the center of the ruins, holding a broken sword, gazing at the burning sky in the distance. The shot slowly rises from the ground, revealing the desolate scene around him. The camera then pulls out, gradually exposing the crumbling city walls and the raging hellfire in the distance. Finally, the camera tilts up, focusing on the enormous shadow of a creature floating in the sky.[Pull out] / [Tilt up]
4The camera pans left and then right, tracking a woman in a red dress as she walks toward the subway station.[Pan left] / [Pan right] / [Tracking shot]

Mastering Hailuo 02's camera movements is like learning the grammar of a movie language. Start with simple push-pull-pans and gradually explore more complex combinations, and you'll find yourself able to create increasingly cinematic work with AI.

Remember, the best camera movements are those that serve the story, enhance emotion, and direct the eye. Don't use complex motion just to show off, but make every shot count.

Now, grab your creativity and start your journey of creating AI movies!
