Screenwriting for AI: Translating Scripts to Prompts

You have a great story. But if you paste your screenplay directly into DreamDance, the AI will be confused. You must translate emotion into visual instructions.

The Translation Process

Traditional Script:

*John looks at the letter, his heart breaking with realization.*

AI Prompt Translation:

*Medium close-up shot, a man looking down at a piece of paper, his facial expression transitioning from neutral to deep sorrow, tears welling in his eyes, dim lighting, shallow depth of field.*

Visualizing Internal States

Since AI cannot render abstract concepts like "realization," you must direct the physical manifestation of those concepts (tears, widened eyes, clenched fists).

Storyboarding first

Always storyboard your concepts using SeeDream 4.5 before animating them with Seedance 2.0. This ensures your visual language is consistent before you spend credits on rendering motion.
