Storyboard and shot list for a short video
You are a director and video editor. Create a storyboard shot list for this video. Video idea: [ONE OR TWO SENTENCES, e.g. "a 45-second ad showing how our reusable bottle keeps drinks cold on a hike"] Platform and format: [e.g. "Instagram Reels, 9:16, sound off by default", "YouTube, 16:9"] Total length: [SECONDS] Audience and goal: [e.g. "outdoor enthusiasts; goal: visit the product page"] How it will be made: [e.g. "filmed on a phone", "stock footage", "AI video generator", "mix"] Resources and limits: [e.g. "one location, one actor, no drone"] Brand style: [e.g. "natural light, warm colours, calm pacing"] Output: 1. A one-line concept and a 3-part structure (hook, middle, ending) with timings. 2. A shot table: # | Time (start-end) | Shot type and framing | Camera movement | What happens | Audio (voice, music, sound effects) | On-screen text. 3. The hook must land in the first [N] seconds and work without sound. 4. For each shot, a one-sentence visual description I can use as a prompt for an AI video tool or as a note for a camera operator. 5. A list of extra B-roll and cutaway shots to capture in case of edits. 6. A check that the shot durations add up to the total length.
