Level Advanced · Short video Shot list Script
Short video: hook in three seconds, one line per shot
You want to shoot a short video and do not know how to open or what to shoot.
Prompt
Write a {{duration}}-second short video script.
Topic: {{topic}}
On camera: {{talent}} (me / nobody / hands and objects only)
Shooting conditions: {{conditions}}
The one thing to remember: {{takeaway}}
Output a shot table: shot / length / frame (what and how to shoot) / line or subtitle / sound.
Hard rules:
1. Shot one must deliver a conflict, a result or a question within 3 seconds. No self-introduction.
2. No more than {{shots}} shots; if it can be one take, do not cut.
3. Write spoken lines, max 15 characters each, easy to say out loud.
4. Mark the one shot without which the video does not work.
5. Give two different opening options.What to state before it starts
Leave these unsaid and the model fills them with an assumption. Most 'wrong answers' start here.
- {{conditions}}: phone only? gimbal? light? can you speak?
- {{shots}}: 6-10 for 60 seconds; more than that you will not finish
- {{takeaway}}: the one line the viewer could repeat afterwards
Go through each of these
Where this kind of work most often goes wrong. Already in the prompt, so you do not have to remember it.
- The 3-second hook rule is the hard one; retention depends on it.
- Two openings let you pick by what you can actually shoot.
