START WITH WORDS
Wan 5 prompts with a point of view.
Turn a mood into a brief you can repeat. These Wan 5 prompts start with the video's purpose, then make deliberate choices about subject, action, framing, camera move, and light. Use a recipe as a starting point, rather than a promise of an identical result.

A Wan 5 prompt formula you can reuse
Write the video type, subject, and action first. Add the setting, camera move, and light source next. Finish with the details that must remain recognizable, such as a bottle's shape or a portrait's expression. A concise brief is easier to revise because each sentence has a job.
- Video type: editorial portrait, product hero, or social cover.
- Composition: close-up, full body, left-weighted, or centered.
- Camera move: static, slow push, pan left, or orbit.
- Light: overcast window, direct flash, or soft studio light.
Refine Wan 5 prompts without losing the idea
If a scene looks generic, replace broad adjectives with visible decisions. Instead of 'luxury', name a brushed metal cap, a pale stone surface, and a narrow highlight. Instead of 'cinematic', describe the camera position and where the shadow falls. Keep any successful part of your first brief when changing a detail.
- Change the background before changing both pose and wardrobe.
- Use exact quoted wording for any short text, then proofread the result.
- For a reference, describe what should stay and what should change.
THE PROMPT EDIT
A brief you can make your own
These are original prompt recipes, not claims about a particular generated result. Change the subject and details before using them.
01
The off-duty portrait
Editorial portrait video of a woman in a lavender knit top, seated beside a cafe window, relaxed expression, medium close-up at eye level, static camera, soft overcast daylight from the left, natural skin texture, muted rose and lilac palette, softly blurred background, vertical composition.
Change the outfit or setting first; keep the camera move and framing to compare versions.
02
The beauty product hero
A frosted glass skincare bottle on a dusty pink stone plinth, cap visible and label facing forward, curved lavender backdrop, diffused studio light with a clean highlight along the bottle, subtle shadow, generous empty space on the left, slow push-in camera, landscape product video.
Supply a product reference when accurate packaging matters. Check the logo separately.
03
The city-weekend cover
Street-style video of a woman in a cherry red jacket outside a flower shop, candid mid-step pose, camera at waist height, slow pan left following her movement, soft afternoon light, textured city background, subject on the right with open space above and left for a headline, warm editorial color treatment.
Add the final headline in a layout editor if accurate typography is essential.

Q & A
Questions before you create
How long should Wan 5 prompts be?
Use enough detail to make the intended composition clear. A short paragraph with a subject, action, camera move, and light source is a useful start. Remove repeated adjectives before adding more instructions.
Can I use these Wan 5 prompts with the current workbench?
You can open a recipe in this site's video workbench and adapt it to the selected model. The current default is Wan 2.7. A prompt transfer only fills the editor; generation starts when you submit it yourself.
Why do two results differ with the same prompt?
Video generation can vary between requests. Treat Wan 5 prompts as direction, inspect each result, and use a supported reference when you need to preserve an existing visual.
