French New Wave Street Thumbnail

A 1960s French New Wave-inspired YouTube thumbnail: a rainy Parisian boulevard, wet cobblestones reflecting street lamps, a lone cyclist in a beret. Handheld 24mm prime, natural overcast lighting, desaturated pastel tones, grainy texture, and jump-cut composition that leaves a blank area for bold title overlay. --ar 16:9 --stylize 250

Questions

What makes a good thumbnails & social visuals prompt for Midjourney?
Name the subject, the lighting, the lens or medium and the finish, in that order. Keep style words at the end so they modify the whole scene rather than one object. Every prompt below follows that shape.
Can I use these prompts in other models?
Yes. The prompts are written model-agnostically and tagged with the models they were seen working well in, so a thumbnails & social visuals prompt here usually transfers to any current image model with small edits.
How often is this page updated?
Continuously. PromptBehind's discovery engine publishes new prompts every hour and re-ranks this page by what people are copying this week.
