The line in the shot sheet that reads "@Lin An ties his laces and starts running" is written for a human: you know who Lin An is, the model does not. DOTV's compose-prompt step turns each shot's description, the full specs of its characters and scenes, and the global visual style into a passage the model can paint from — and because the prompts for a dozen shots are composed to the same standard, the people and the look in your AI video stop changing from shot to shot. This section covers what a composed prompt looks like, how to compose, and when.
