01Characters

Up to two characters. Give each a tag name, then describe them head to boots: age, hair, face, distinguishing marks, wardrobe with colour and material. Reuse this text word for word across shots.

Spaces are removed from tags, so "Truck interior" becomes @TruckInterior. Use the tag in your other answers to point at that character or place.

02Locations

Up to two locations. What does each reference image control, and what should the model ignore?

03Scene context

What happens, what is the shot about, and why does the camera exist in this moment?

04First frame & blocking

What is in frame one? Place every subject by percentage: x 0% is left, x 100% is right; y 0% is top, y 100% is bottom.

05Format mode

One continuous take, or a controlled sequence of segments joined by hard cuts?

06Optics

Which lens character, how far is the camera, and what is sharp or soft?

07Camera

How does the camera move, what motivates the move, and where does it finish?

08Action & dialogue

Beat by beat, what happens? Is there a held moment? Who speaks, exactly what, and how?

09Physics

What carries real weight? How do water, fabric, sand, sparks or fog behave? What must never happen?

10Lighting

What is the key source, where is it locked, how hard is it, and what light is forbidden?

11Palette & grade lock

Use this when colour is the point. Which colour families exist, which are banned, how do shadows and highlights behave?

12Audio

The ambience bed, the foley tied to each action, and the music rule.

13Render tag

The fixed closing line that sets the image texture.
