Ask ChatGPT to generate one high-resolution, landscape 16:9 storyboard image for your desired video. Describe the subject, shot timing, visual direction, voiceover, headline, text position, synchronization, camera, audio, and transition for every panel.
Show the complete BMW M3 example prompt
Generate one high-resolution, landscape 16:9 storyboard image for a premium product promotional video. Use real-world photographic imagery in every panel. Do not use illustrations, sketches, cartoons, CGI mockups, concept art, wireframes, or placeholder imagery.
Create exactly four storyboard panels in a clean 2-by-2 layout. Each panel must contain:
1. A large photorealistic live-action image at the top.
2. A clearly separated professional production-information section directly below the image.
3. All settings written explicitly below the image, including visual direction, voiceover, headline, text position, synchronization, camera, audio, and transition.
The storyboard sheet itself must be landscape 16:9. The production information below each image must be large enough to read clearly. Do not place the production notes over the photographic imagery.

Critical product-and-text composition rules:
* Never place headline text on top of the product.
* Text must never overlap, touch, obscure, or sit across any part of the BMW.
* Keep every headline outside the complete product silhouette.
* Maintain at least 10% visual clearance between text and the vehicle.
* Deliberately reposition the car or change the camera angle whenever necessary to create negative space.
* Do not place text over busy scenery, road markings, guardrails, or important vehicle details.
* The photographic image must visibly demonstrate the intended text-safe area.
* The production notes must appear below each image, never over the image.
Text and voice accuracy rules:
* Use professional Title Case exactly as follows:
1. “The Ultimate Driving Machine”
2. “Stir Your Soul”
3. “Live Life to the Fullest”
* Preserve every letter, space, and word order.
* The spoken voiceover must match the corresponding headline exactly.
* Do not add any unapproved narration.
* Text must be sharp, stable, correctly spelled, and perfectly legible.
* Do not create warped letters, missing letters, duplicated letters, random symbols, flickering, or changing typography.
* Use elegant white typography with subtle shadow or a transparent dark backing.
* Do not include unintended text, road signs, license-plate lettering, watermarks, fake logos, or random symbols anywhere in the photographic imagery.
Final storyboard-image requirements:
* Exactly four panels.
* Exactly three seconds per panel.
* Landscape 16:9 format.
* Real-world photographic imagery in every panel.
* Large image on top and explicit production settings directly below each image.
* Every panel must explicitly show VISUAL, VOICEOVER, HEADLINE, TEXT POSITION, SYNCHRONIZATION, CAMERA, AUDIO, and TRANSITION.
* Generate only the finished storyboard image, not a written explanation.
