Prompt use
Use "Cinematic" as a style anchor, then layer mood, vocals, and structure around it. Section: Soundtrack & Theme music genres list.
When to use cinematic
Use it near the front of the prompt when cinematic should shape the overall feel.
Let it control one clear layer, then add vocal, arrangement, or structure detail around it.
Change only one layer at a time during testing so the results stay learnable.
cinematic example prompt
Cinematic pop, widescreen string lift, breathy lead vocal, restrained verse, emotional climax chorus, polished score-like ending
Cinematic works best as a scene-setting style anchor when the prompt should feel soundtrack-shaped, spacious, and built around visual scale or final payoff.
