With Veo 3.1, Gemini has an even better understanding of angles and camera movements. Here are a few worth exploring:
➡️ Prompt it to pan left or right to add perspective, as if you’re turning your head.
➡️ For a smooth, immersive moment that pulls you into the scene, try a dolly shot.
➡️ Or if you want to add motion and energy, try a tracking shot or even a handheld shot.

You can even go big with a top-down crane shot.
Try a prompt such as: “The camera begins to smoothly crane upwards and forwards, rising high above them. The shot settles into a bird's-eye perspective, looking directly down at the two characters, the table, and their hands.”
