How to use this prompt

“High Retention Documentary Script” packages the descriptive detail an image model needs into one prompt. It works just as well in Midjourney, DALL·E 3 or Gemini, so you’re not locked into one tool.

  1. Grab the prompt with the Copy button at the top.
  2. Paste it into ChatGPT.
  3. Run it, focusing on full documentary-style if you want to steer the result.
  4. Regenerate to explore a few different takes on the same idea.

Tips & variations

  • Add an aspect ratio that fits your platform — portrait for Instagram, wide for banners.
  • Swap the main subject for your own to completely change the scene while keeping the style.
  • Change the lighting words (e.g. “golden hour”, “studio”, “moody”) to shift the whole mood.

It’s set up for ChatGPT, and it also works well in Midjourney, DALL·E 3 or Gemini. Image models vary, so try the same prompt in a couple of tools and keep the result you like best.
No — the prompt itself works on free tiers of ChatGPT. A paid plan may unlock faster generation, higher limits, or commercial licensing, depending on the tool.
The way it handles full documentary-style is fairly specific, so results tend to be more focused than a generic Youtube script prompt.
