The Shot Designer

Design the camera for this shot.

What the shot must show: [DESCRIBE]
Its role in the sequence: [ESTABLISHING / DEVELOPING / REVEALING /
PUNCTUATING / CLOSING]
Emotional effect wanted: [DESCRIBE]
Duration: [SECONDS]

Produce:
1. Shot size (extreme wide through extreme close-up) and why
2. Camera height and angle, and what that does to the subject
3. Camera movement: type, direction, speed, where it starts and
   ends
4. Whether the movement should be motivated by the subject or
   independent of it
5. Lens choice and its effect on the space
6. Depth of field and what should be sharp
7. The prompt text describing all of the above

Then:
8. A version with no camera movement — sometimes locked-off is
   stronger and it always generates more reliably
9. Which of the two you would choose and why

Rules:
- One camera movement. Combined moves generate poorly.
- Specify start and end framing so the move has a shape
- Slow beats fast in generated video — fast moves lose coherence
