English is the default prompting language and fails in two ways at once: slop (empty evaluation words that add tokens and no signal) and false positives (vague threat-adjacent wording that trips the heaviest moderation surface). The cure for both is the same: concrete production English. Preserve reference tags exactly: [Image1], [Video1], [Audio1] must never be reworded.

Intent

English is where most users think, and where most prompts quietly rot. The soul of this vocabulary is precision as kindness: give people exact words so their excitement survives contact with the model, and so honest prompts stop being mistaken for dangerous ones.

Usage Rule

If a camera, microphone, light meter, or stopwatch cannot detect it, rewrite it. Every sentence should name something visible, audible, or measurable: subject, visible action, camera, light source, sound, constraint.

| Function | English wording | |---|---| | Camera | slow push-in, locked medium shot, stable lateral tracking, pull back to reveal, macro close-up | | Lighting | soft backlight, warm practical light from the left, cool moonlight rim, wet asphalt reflecting neon | | Motion | a slow head turn that stops, droplets merge and slide down, fabric settles after the gesture | | Audio | quiet room tone, one clear spoken line in quotes, no music until after the line | | Constraints | keep the logo, label, and shape unchanged, one action, one camera move, nothing else moves |

De-Slop Pass

Strip quality adjectives before adding anything: cinematic, epic, stunning, masterpiece, 8K, ultra-realistic, award-winning, hyper-detailed all delete or convert to one observable detail each. A prompt that earns "epic" names the crowd size, the lens distance, or the structure height instead of the word.

Filter-Aware Wording

English homonyms read as threats to filters: shoot the scene, kill the lights, gun it, dead silence, blow up the image. Use the production synonym (film the take, cut the lights to black, accelerate hard, held silence, enlarge to full frame). This is clarity for safe prompts only — never evasion. Anything genuinely risky (minors, real-person likeness, sexual or graphic content) routes to [skill:seedance-filter] for its boundary rule, not to a rewording.

Compact Pattern

[Image1] is the reference; keep identity, color, and shape unchanged. Only [motion/light/camera] changes. Camera: [one move]. Sound: [one cue]. Constraints: [lock].
