Short Video Shot List

Plan one short social video using: Goal and audience: {goal_and_audience} Platform and target duration: {platform_and_duration} Verified message: {verified_message} Available people, locations and equipment: {resources} Filming time available: {filming_time} Permission status: {permissions} Approved call to action: {call_to_action} Ask about essential accuracy, feasibility or permission gaps before planning affected shots. Use supplied facts only, never invented customer stories, results or testimonials. Build a shot table with estimated duration, subject, framing or movement, spoken words or on-screen text, audio and preparation. Keep the total within the target duration and filming workload within available time. Provide an efficient filming order and checks for captions, readable text, clear audio and the approved call to action. Exclude identifiable customers, private conversations, account details and sensitive screens unless permission covers intended use. Mark permission-dependent shots blocked until confirmed and offer a non-identifying alternative. Check that claims match inputs and shots are feasible.

Tip: fill in the {brackets}

Swap every highlighted bit for your real details before you paste. The more specific you are, the less generic the answer.

When to use it

Before filming a short social video when you need clear instructions rather than a posting calendar.

FAQ

What if nobody wants to appear on camera?

Say so in the resources. The plan can use non-identifying footage and on-screen text.

Will it invent customer stories?

No. It uses verified material and blocks permission-dependent content until approved.
