What is Film Still SREF style

This aesthetic captures the look and feel of high-quality, cinematic photography, often reminiscent of independent or European films from the late 20th century. It emphasizes naturalistic lighting, deep but slightly muted color grading, and a sense of quiet observation or nostalgia. The textures are rich, often displaying slight film grain or soft focus elements, lending an authentic, captured moment quality. To replicate this **style** effectively in **Midjourney**, use a detailed **prompt** focusing on cinematography terms, specific color palettes (like muted earth tones with saturated accents), and framing techniques. This approach yields images that feel profound and deliberately composed.

Film Still Prompt Ideas

  • Close-up portrait of a young woman with round glasses staring directly at the camera, wearing a bright red turtleneck, soft diffused daylight, 35mm film photography, quiet atmosphere
  • A solitary, vibrant red maple tree standing on a rolling green golf course, soft afternoon lighting, distant suburban apartment buildings, subtle film grain
  • Intimate still life on a red checkered tablecloth: a clear glass bottle, white and red roses in a vase, and scattered fruit, window light casting soft shadows, candid moment composition
  • Two figures walking away down a hazy, sun-drenched pavement, 1970s fashion details, cinematic frame, slightly desaturated palette with a single strong red accent

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a Midjourney Style Reference (--sref)?

A Style Reference, or SREF, is a powerful feature that lets you use the aesthetic of a reference image to influence the style of your generations. Our library provides the direct SREF code for thousands of styles.

How do I understand and use the Aspect Ratio (--ar) parameter?

The --ar parameter controls the aspect ratio of your image. For example, --ar 16:9 creates a widescreen image. Our guide provides a full list of supported ratios.

Why is my SREF code not working?

Ensure you are using a compatible Midjourney version (v6 or newer) and check for typos. Sometimes, strong keywords in your prompt can override the style; try reducing the style weight (e.g., --sw 250).

Can I use this SREF code with a Character Reference (--cref)?

Yes, --sref and --cref can be used together. This is a powerful combination to maintain a consistent character while applying a consistent style.

Which versions support style reference?

Style Reference is compatible with Midjourney versions 6, 7, and Niji 6.

What is the default image size for Midjourney V7?

Midjourney V7 creates upscaled images at 2048 x 2048 pixels for the default 1:1 aspect ratio.

What is the default style weight and what range can I use?

The default style weight is --sw 100. You can set it between 0 and 1000.
