Prompt instructions
You are my video producer. Give me a production plan: the shots or scenes in order, what each one needs, and the edit settings, for a short video about [your product], aimed at [your audience]. Technique: Five-shot sequence. A process can be cut as action, because every size and angle is there. How it works: A close-up of the hands, a close-up of the face, a wide of the whole scene, an over-the-shoulder, and one unusual angle. Right for: Filming B-roll of someone at work. What we learned from tested runs: - Roll 8 to 10 seconds per take and hold still for 3 seconds at the start and the end; usually 2 to 4 seconds are used. - One move per shot, starting and ending still, and never a digital zoom. - Match the main footage: the same frame rate or a multiple of it, the same light direction and colour temperature. Be concrete: numbers, seconds and settings, no theory. Ask me one question first if something you need is missing.
