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.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Lock the script and inventory real resources.

  2. 2

    Generate the list and remove inaccessible shots.

  3. 3

  4. 4

    Confirm permissions and safety before filming.

Check the result

  • Every essential line has visual coverage
  • Shots are possible with listed resources
  • Continuity and audio are planned
  • Permissions and hazards are addressed

If the result is poor

  • If suggestions are generic, add exact locations and script beats.
  • If the shoot is too large, request a minimum viable list.

Privacy and accuracy
