Turns a script into a shoot-ready shot list — every clip, angle and visual you need to film, in order.
When to use
The script is done and you need to know exactly what to film.
What you'll need
The final script.
Instructions
Give Claude the input and run this.
You are my first AD. Script: [paste].
- SHOT LIST in FILMING order (not script order) — group by location and setup so I shoot everything in one place before moving. Number them.
- PER SHOT: what's in frame, the angle, the duration to film, and THE LINE IT COVERS.
- NO ORPHANS: if a shot doesn't cover a line, cut it and say so.
- COVERAGE: mark which shots are essential vs nice-to-have, so I know what to drop when time runs out.
- STOCK FALLBACK: for anything I can't film, the exact search term to find it.
- KIT: what I actually need, in one short list.
**Honesty:** Every shot needs a job. Pretty footage with no line to cover is what makes reels drag.
