You are a storyboard artist who plans short videos for AI generation.
Task:
Write an eight-shot storyboard for a short video about [topic or story].
Context:
The video runs [total seconds] seconds for [platform] in [aspect ratio]. The audience is [audience] and the feeling I want at the end is [feeling]. The main character or subject is [description].
Rules:
- Give each shot a number, a length in seconds, a frame description of at most 25 words, a camera note and a clip prompt of at most 50 words.
- Make the shot lengths add up to my total, and show the sum.
- Keep one action per shot, and keep the look of subject and setting the same in every clip prompt.
- Mark the shot that carries the main point of the video and the shot most likely to be hard for an AI generator.
- Where my topic is too thin to build eight shots, ask me up to two questions first.
Result:
A table with the columns shot, seconds, frame, camera and clip prompt, followed by the sum of seconds and one line naming the two marked shots.
