Unlock Better Midjourney Images: Essential Prompt Phrases to Know

Midjourney 7 is a powerful tool for making AI images. It has lots of features to help you create great pictures. But you need to know the right words to use to get the results you want. This guide covers many core photography and film words. These words can change how your images look, how they are framed, and what they focus on. By learning how Midjourney 7 understands these words, you can write better prompts for better pictures.

Here are some quick points:

• Midjourney 7 is good with framing like close-up and bird's eye view. But some words can be taken too literally.

• Film words suggesting movement, like tracking shot, don't always work well for still images.

• Words about lenses like fisheye lens and shallow depth of field can create cool effects. But sometimes they cause strange looks or add actual lenses.

• Lighting and focus words like bokeh background often make nice pictures. But the AI might prefer darker colors, which changes the final look.

• Style words like editorial photo and action shot help set the feel. How well they work depends on how clear your prompt is.

Framing Your World: Shot Types

How you frame a shot is key to telling a story in pictures. Midjourney 7 understands words like long shot, close-up, bird's eye view, and Dutch angle. Each of these changes the picture's view in a different way.

• [H3]What Works Well[/H3]

• Close-up and bird's eye view usually change the framing reliably. They help create tight or wide views.

• [H3]Things to Watch Out For[/H3]

• Some phrases like worm's eye view can mix up the AI. It might add real worms or eyes to the picture.

• Dramatic angles like Dutch angle or low angle look cool. But they can sometimes make the style look too over the top.

The main idea here is that Midjourney 7 can copy many framing styles. But you need to be very clear to avoid odd surprises.

Film Techniques: Movement in a Still Image

Using film words that sound like movement can be tricky for an AI that makes still pictures. Words like tracking shot, crane shot, and handheld shot were tested to see if they would affect the final image.

[LI][H3]Storytelling Matters[/H3][/LI>

[LI]Words like reaction shot or insert shot need a story around them. Still pictures can't really show that fully.[/LI]

[/UL]

The result? It's best to use words that make more sense for still pictures if you want steady results.

Lens Effects: Changing Depth and View

Words about lenses change how deep things look and how the view appears in your photos. Phrases like fisheye lens, macro lens, and shallow depth of field were put to the test.

[LI][H3]Playing with View[/H3][/LI>

[LI]Fisheye lens and wide-angle lens often make dynamic distortions or a wider view.[/LI]

[LI][H3]Literal Lens Images[/H3][/LI>

[LI]Sometimes the AI puts actual lenses in the picture if your prompt isn't very clear.[/LI]

[LI][H3]Focus Tricks[/H3][/LI>

[LI]Shallow depth of field and soft focus work nicely, especially with people or animals. They give a polished look.[/LI>

[/UL]

Lens prompts can open up new creative ideas. But you need to choose your words carefully so you don't get weird results.

Lighting and Focus: Setting the Scene

Lighting creates a feeling, and focus directs the eye. Phrases like bokeh background, tilt shift effect, and motion blur were tested to see what they do.

[LI][H3]Good Outcomes[/H3][/LI>

[LI]Bokeh background and shallow depth of field consistently create nice effects for pictures of people.[/LI]

[LI][H3]Mixed Results[/H3][/LI>

[LI]Motion blur and tilt shift effect sometimes work well, sometimes they don't do much.[/LI]

[LI][H3]Darker Feel[/H3][/LI>

[LI]Midjourney 7 often seems to like darker, softer colors. This can influence how lighting effects turn out.[/LI>

[/UL]

Trying different wordings is important to get the lighting and focus just right.

Stylistic Phrases: Setting the Mood

Do you want a certain feel for your image? Try phrases like editorial photo, selfie, or action shot. These help guide the general vibe and layout of your pictures.

[LI][H3]Polished Look[/H3][/LI>

[LI]Editorial photo often creates clean, professional-looking images with soft colors.[/LI]

[LI][H3]Personal Feel[/H3][/LI>

[LI]Selfie gives a first-person feel. But sometimes it can be too literal.[/LI]

[LI][H3]Adding Action[/H3][/LI>

[LI]Action shot adds movement and energy. How well it works depends on the subject you choose.[/LI]

[/UL]

These style prompts can really change the story your image tells. Just be clear and specific in your prompt.

Key Learnings About Midjourney 7

Here are some important things to remember about Midjourney 7:

• It often takes your words very literally. So unclear words can lead to unexpected things in your image.

• The AI seems to have a preferred style. Expect images with darker, softer colors, like modern professional photos.

• Phrases often work better with certain subjects like people or animals. Prompts for abstract things or landscapes might not be as predictable.

Knowing these things helps you write better prompts. You can then use Midjourney 7's creative power to make amazing AI images.
