  • Theme Parks: Rusty rides, overgrown mascots, empty ticket booths.
  • Public Spaces: Malls, schools, subway stations.

2. Set the Mood

Describe the atmosphere you want to convey.

  • Eerie: Foggy, dark, mysterious shadows.
  • Nostalgic: Golden hour light, dust motes, faded colors.
  • Post-Apocalyptic: Heavy overgrowth, destruction, wild nature taking over.

3. Add Specific Details

Details make the scene real.

  • "Vines growing over a 1950s diner counter"
  • "A dusty director's chair in the middle of an empty street"

Best Practices

Tips for Better Results

Lighting is Key

Lighting defines the mood. Use keywords like "god rays," "cinematic lighting," "gloomy overcast," or "flickering neon" to enhance the atmosphere.

Focus on Textures

Mention textures to make it realistic: "rust," "moss," "shattered glass," "dusty," "peeling paint."

Camera Movement

Slow, smooth camera movements work best for this genre. It mimics the feeling of someone carefully exploring a forgotten place.
