Prompt Anatomy

Structuring narrative-driven spatial prompts

In Scenographist, prompts act as design briefs, not simple visual descriptions.
They translate narrative intent, spatial logic, and emotional direction into structured inputs.

A strong prompt is composed of the following elements. You may use all of them or only a few, depending on the project.

Context

Defines the narrative and purpose of the space.
Describe why the space exists, the story it belongs to, and the moment it represents.

Space Type

Specifies the spatial typology and functional category.
This anchors proportions, circulation, and architectural logic.

Emotion

Describes how the space should make people feel.
Emotion guides composition, contrast, rhythm, and spatial tension.

Materials

Defines the physical or symbolic material palette.
Materials affect texture, realism, light behavior, and atmosphere.

Light

Controls how the space is revealed and perceived.
Lighting is a primary narrative and scenographic tool.

Scale

Defines proportion and spatial relationship to the human body.
Scale influences intimacy, monumentality, and emotional impact.
