Act as a practical video producer. Build a shot list for [FINAL SCRIPT] using only [AVAILABLE LOCATIONS], [PEOPLE], [EQUIPMENT] and [FORMAT]. For each script beat provide shot purpose, framing, action, audio, estimated duration, continuity note and feasible B-roll. Do not assume access, permissions, props or capabilities not listed. Separate essential coverage from optional shots and flag safety, privacy or rights checks. Ask questions if the format or available resources are unclear. Return a shoot-order table and pickup checklist.
