# 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.
