The Multi-Shot Coverage Prompt

Design coverage for this scene.

The scene: [DESCRIBE]
Duration of the finished sequence: [SECONDS]
What must be communicated: [DESCRIBE]

Produce a shot list with:
1. Each shot: size, angle, movement, duration, content
2. The cutting order
3. Why each shot exists — what it does that the others do not
4. How each cut works: on action, on a look, on a beat, on a match
5. The establishing shot and the payoff shot
6. Which shots are essential and which are optional

Constraints for generated video:
- Each shot is an independent generation — assume imperfect
  continuity
- Design cuts that hide continuity errors rather than exposing
  them
- Avoid cuts that require exact position matching
- Prefer cutting on movement, which masks discontinuity
- Every shot must be a single clear action

Then: the two-shot version of this scene, if I only have budget for
two.
