Getting Started with Runway

Lesson 4: Foundations Project – Your First Runway Shot, Start to Finish

Lesson Objectives

By the end of this lesson, students should be able to:

  • Write a short shot brief before generating.
  • Generate and review a first Runway clip within a planned credit budget.
  • Save the clip with its prompt, settings, and review notes.

Lesson Content

Beginners waste credits by generating before deciding what they want. A shot brief takes two minutes:

  • Purpose: where will this clip be used?
  • Subject: what is in the shot?
  • Motion: what moves, and how does the camera move?
  • Look: lighting, color, realism or style.
  • Length and format: seconds and aspect ratio (16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for Reels and Shorts, 1:1 for some feeds).
  • Credit budget: how many generations you will allow.

After generating, review: Does it match the brief? Any warped hands, melting objects, or flicker? Would you show it to a client?
