About the Claustrophobic style

Visual characteristics

A claustrophobic scene in 2010s contained-thriller style. Tight spaces and low ceilings pressing down oppressively in dark earth brown and shadow black. Walls closing in with escape-room panic intensity, single practical light source creating harsh shadows, trapped suffocating tension with extreme close-up framing.

Color palette

Colors specified in the preset recipe, not a guarantee for every generated frame.

  • #3d2314
  • #0a0a0a

Adapt the preset recipe

Select and copy the recipe below as a starting point. In Storyboard, choose My styles, create a custom style and open Advanced mode. Adapt the wording to your scene and the editor's 1,000-character limit; a Studio preset is not imported automatically. Camera and film references describe the intended look, not equipment used to create the preview or guaranteed animation.

Plan shots in the Claustrophobic look

  1. Step 1: Study the visual recipe

    Compare the Claustrophobic still preview with the visual notes below. Choose which lighting, palette and framing cues belong in your shot list.

  2. Step 2: Build your storyboard

    Open a new Storyboard, add your script and character references, then choose its style separately. To adapt this recipe, paste it into a custom style in Advanced mode.

  3. Step 3: Review before video

    Review the generated frames for continuity. A still does not specify motion, pacing or audio; plan those as separate decisions for your video.
