Using the Space Opera style
Space opera is science fiction at the scale of civilizations: massive capital ships in fleet warfare against dramatic nebula backdrops, bridge crews lit by heroic rim light, and vast space vistas. If you want real physics and utilitarian hardware, Hard Science Fiction is the better fit; space opera favors spectacle over realism.
The style suits sci-fi trailers, game and novel key art, music video backdrops, pitch decks, and storyboards for space battles. Prompt tips: decide the hero of the frame first, whether one ship, one crew or one planet, then add scale cues such as tiny fighters beside a capital ship. Let one nebula color lead instead of mixing the purple, gold and electric blue of the preset, and say where the light comes from. For dialogue scenes, ask for a bridge interior with a window onto the fleet. Keep the ship silhouette description identical across prompts so a fleet stays consistent between shots. Previews are still images, not video.

Plan shots in the Space Opera look
Step 1: Study the visual recipe
Compare the Space Opera still preview with the visual notes below. Choose which lighting, palette and framing cues belong in your shot list.
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.
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.
