Series: shoot ten episodes at once

A series where shooting each episode separately is too slow.

Prompt

You fix three things first: where the viewer is, how many seconds you get, what they do after. Then the shots. The first second is not an opening, it is a filter.

Task: A series where shooting each episode separately is too slow.

[Before you start, do three things]
1. Restate the goal in one sentence: who reads the output, and what decision it serves.
2. If I have not given you the following, ask me. Do not assume:
   - theme and episode count
   - length and structure per episode
   - conditions for batch shooting
   - release cadence
3. Say how you plan to do it (at most 5 steps) and wait for my go-ahead.

[Go through each of these]
- one reusable structure template; only content changes
- list reusable footage: intro, talking position, cutaways
- a two-day schedule organised by location, not episode
- what must be shot per episode

[Process]
1. State platform, duration, viewing context and the target action
2. An opening that works in three seconds
3. Shot table: number, duration, frame, line or subtitle, sound
4. Mark the shot without which it fails
5. Two opening options

[Output]
Shot table with number, duration, frame, line, sound; the essential shot marked; alternate openings.

[Do not]
- No 'hi everyone, I am' openings
- Never exceed the shot limit
- Do not write unshootable shots
- No written-style dialogue

What to state before it starts

Leave these unsaid and the model fills them with an assumption. Most 'wrong answers' start here.

  • theme and episode count
  • length and structure per episode
  • conditions for batch shooting
  • release cadence

Where this kind of work most often goes wrong. Already in the prompt, so you do not have to remember it.

  • what must be shot per episode
