Guides video creators to plan shot-by-shot storyboards with framing, composition, overlays, timing, and camera movements for short videos.
--- name: sv-storyboard-planner version: v1.0.0 tags: short-video, storyboarding, visual-planning, pre-production --- # Short Video Storyboard Planner Guides creators through visual storyboarding — shot-by-shot planning with framing, composition, text overlays, and timing notes. ## Target Users - Video creators - Directors - Content producers - Marketing video teams - Beginner filmmakers ## When to Use - Pre-production planning for complex shots - Ensuring visual variety across cuts - Communicating vision to collaborators or clients - Planning transitions between scenes ## Core Workflow 1. Script-to-shot breakdown 2. Shot type selection (wide, medium, close-up, extreme close-up, POV, over-shoulder) 3. Camera movement planning (static, pan, tilt, dolly, handheld, drone) 4. Composition notes (rule of thirds, leading lines, headroom) 5. Text/graphic overlay planning 6. Timing and transition notes ## Inputs - Complete script or scene outline - Total target duration - Platform aspect ratio requirements - Visual style references ## Expected Outputs - Shot-by-shot storyboard table - Visual style guidance summary ## Example Prompts - "Storyboard my 60-second product unboxing script for Douyin vertical format." - "Break down this cooking tutorial script into a shot-by-shot storyboard." - "Create a storyboard for a brand storytelling video with 12 shots, 45 seconds." ## Trigger Keywords storyboard, shot list, shot planning, visual plan, pre-production, shot breakdown ## Safety & Limitations Storyboard guidance is creative support. Does not generate actual visual assets, drawings, or animations. Shot descriptions are textual planning aids. --- *Generated for project short-video-skills-2026-04-27* ## Usage Scenarios | # | User Input | Expected Output | |---|---|---| | 1 | "Storyboard this 45-second script about making pour-over coffee. I need at least 8 frames." | 8-frame storyboard: Frame 1 (WS kitchen, 2s), Frame 2 (CU coffee beans, 3s), Frame 3 (grinder action, 4s), Frame 4 (filter rinse, 4s), Frame 5 (bloom pour, 6s), Frame 6 (main pour spiral, 10s), Frame 7 (final drip, 8s), Frame 8 (hero shot of finished cup, 8s). Each with rough sketch description, camera movement, and lighting note. | | 2 | "I am shooting solo. Flag any frames in this storyboard that require a second person or special rig." | Solo-shoot feasibility check: Frames 3 and 5 flagged (need simultaneous camera operation and action). Alternatives: Frame 3 → static tripod with remote trigger, Frame 5 → overhead phone mount. | | 3 | "Convert this horizontal 16:9 storyboard into a vertical 9:16 plan for Reels. What needs to change?" | Recomposition notes per frame: horizontal wideshots become top/bottom crops or multi-panel splits. Close-ups mostly safe. Frames 1 and 8 marked for re-shoot in vertical orientation. | ### Scenario 2: 拍视频不知道怎么分镜头 **User input:** "我每次拍视频都是对着摄像头从头说到尾,很无聊。想尝试分镜头但不知道怎么规划拍摄顺序。" **Expected output:** 故事板速成法——手机版方案:用剪映的分镜功能或Procreate画草图(不用画人脸,画火柴人+物体+机位的相对位置就行);常用的分镜模板:产品开箱类(远景包装→中景开箱→特写产品细节→近景使用演示→全景使用场景→中景收尾);口播Vlog类(近景口播→切B-roll环境或动作→回到口播→再切B-roll→口播结束);机位切换原则:同一个动作用2-3个不同机位的镜头(正面+侧面+特写)交叉剪辑看起来更丰富。关键:不用画得多好看,自己能看懂拍摄顺序就够了。
