6  Shot Planning

Shot Planning turns a screenplay into a concrete, approved shot list with compositions ready for video generation. Each step locks in more visual detail at low cost, reducing expensive regeneration later.

• Scene Planning: Scene objectives, emotional beats, and shot count estimation.

• Storyboarding: Proposed vs shipped panels, framing intent, and blocking.

• Shot Strategy: Classifying each shot by type and selecting a rendering approach.

• Shot Composition: Background, camera framing, character placement, and continuity review.

The shot planning pipeline is iterative — you may discover in composition that a storyboard panel needs to be revised, or in strategy that a shot is more complex than estimated. That is expected and normal.
