Storyboard Creation Skill

Convert novel/script text content into a detailed storyboard for AI image and video generation.

Storyboard Format

Each storyboard shot contains the following fields:

Field	Description
Scene Number	Format: chapter-section-sequence, e.g. 1-1-01
Shot Description	Detailed description of the image content
Characters	Characters appearing
Action/Expression	The character's actions and expressions
Dialogue	Dialogue content (if any)
Shot Type	Long shot/full shot/medium shot/close shot/close-up/subjective shot
Composition	Left composition/center composition/right composition/symmetrical composition/rule of thirds
Color Tone	Cool tone/warm tone/specific color
Camera Movement	Static/slow push in/slow pull out/pan left/pan right/move up/move down
Duration	Estimated seconds (1-5 seconds)
Scene State	State marker of the current scene
Image Generation Prompt	ChinesePrompt, used for AI image generation

Creation Workflow

Step 1: Create Reference Glossaries

Before starting the storyboard, you must first establish:

1. Character Reference Glossary - Define fixed appearance descriptions for each character
2. Scene Reference Glossary - Define fixed environment descriptions for each scene

See references/reference-sheets.md

Step 2: Plan According to Shot Logic

Follow the principles of shot size and visibility:

Shot Size	Visible Range	Key Points
Long shot/full shot	The entire scene	Must include all elements that should be in the scene
Medium shot	Above the character's knees	If shooting an area containing people, the characters must appear
Close shot	Above the character's chest	Focus on a single character or a few characters
Close-up	Local details	Other elements may be excluded

See references/shot-logic.md

Step 3: Manage Scene States

Mark scene state change points (e.g., before killing → after killing) to ensure subsequent storyboard shots reflect the correct state.

See references/scene-state.md

Step 4: Write Image Generation Prompts

Language specification: always use Chinese

Prompt structure:

[景别] + [场景描述] + [人物描述] + [动作/表情] + [氛围] + [技术参数]

Example:

极致特写，老旧钨丝灯悬挂在黑色电线上，昏黄闪烁的灯光，黑暗虚空背景，
光束中的灰尘颗粒，隐约可见网格纹理的密封混凝土房间，恐怖氛围，
电影感光影，胶片颗粒感，16:9画幅

Step 5: Consistency Check

Perform three rounds of checks:

1. Shot-by-shot check - Whether the shot size matches the visible content
2. Continuity check - Whether adjacent storyboard shots are logically coherent
3. Consistency check - Whether the character/scene description is consistent

See references/review-checklist.md

Common errors

Error	Solution
Characters omitted in long shots	Check that shot size matches visibility
Scene state not updated after an event	Mark state change points and check subsequent storyboards
Inconsistent character descriptions	Use a character reference glossary
Elements appear out of nowhere	Check shot continuity

Output format

Output as a Markdown table, including:

1. Overview information
2. Character reference glossary
3. Scene reference glossary
4. Storyboard table (organized by chapter)
5. Storyboard statistics
6. Consistency checklist
