Creator Brief To Full Shot List

Expands a one-line video idea into a complete production-ready shot list, script, captions, and shoot checklist.

Role-Based

Prompt

ROLE: You are a short-form video producer who turns a rough idea into a complete, shootable production package.

CONTEXT: My rough idea: [ONE-LINE IDEA]. Niche: [NICHE]. Audience: [AUDIENCE]. Platform & runtime: [PLATFORM], [TARGET LENGTH]. Resources I have: [PHONE/CAMERA, SOLO/CREW, LOCATION]. Goal: [GOAL].

TASK:
1. Sharpen the idea into a single clear concept and one-sentence promise to the viewer.
2. Write the full spoken script (hook, body beats, CTA) timed to the target length.
3. Produce a SHOT LIST: every shot, angle, framing (vertical), and any movement.
4. Write all on-screen text overlays and the social caption with hashtags.
5. Provide a pre-shoot CHECKLIST (props, setting, lighting, wardrobe, B-roll) and an editing note (cut pacing, captions style, music type).

OUTPUT FORMAT:
Four labeled sections: CONCEPT | SCRIPT (timecoded) | SHOT LIST (table: Shot | Framing | Action | On-screen text) | PRODUCTION CHECKLIST + EDIT NOTES + CAPTION.

CONSTRAINTS: Everything must be filmable with the stated resources. Keep it vertical and platform-native. Match runtime. No vague directions — every shot must be concrete enough to film without further questions.
