Selected recipe

Three-Quarter Front

Three-Quarter Front is a variant of Front Three-Quarter View. It retains its own complete execution recipe.

Free short AI video prompt

A starter line you can copy. The full timed recipe, still-image and production prompts are on the shot card.

Prompt rule: Use a stable front-oblique view with both eyes visible and a narrower far cheek; do not drift into a full profile or rear three-quarter view.

Three-Quarter Angle: A three-quarter portrait views the face obliquely, keeping both eyes visible while the far cheek recedes. Keep the subject readable; motivate camera and light.

Technique guide

When to use: Use the zookeeper to read the feeding labels or the hot air balloon ground crew to tether, so that the face and hand operations carry both positive information and volume.
How it works: Choose a 30 or 45-degree stance from the character's front-facing axis, rather than having the character randomly turn their head. Leave a separate area under the face for the hands and props. The gaze can turn towards a partner, while the nose axis still maintains the original front-facing direction.
Common mistakes: The character is still marked as three-quarters even after turning to the front. The camera moves behind or only a single-eye profile remains.

How to read this page

Three-Quarter Angle is one technique in Camera Angle. The definition states the single mechanism the frame has to show. The technique guide covers when to use it, the steps, the usual mistakes, how it differs from the neighbors, and what a successful take looks like.

The clip above is one reading, made with a third-party video model. Another model, or the same model on another day, can land on a different frame. It is an example, not a promise that a prompt will match it.

The free short prompt is a starter sentence. The shot card is the timed recipe: scene, start and end frames, action, light, and color. Three sample cards are free on the site. The rest are part of GrokCine Pro. A second name for the same shot keeps its own URL and points back at this definition.

When you write a prompt, keep the one mechanism in the definition, then name the subject, the motion, and why the light is there. Do not stack a neighboring technique into the same sentence. If the name or the example is wrong, send this page's URL from the contact page.
