Scenes break into shot lists, auto-suggested from the script or built by hand. Per shot:
- Camera body — ARRI Alexa, RED, Sony, IMAX, 35mm film, digital look profiles.
- Lens — 18–135mm, with aperture and depth of field.
- Movement — static, dolly, crane, Steadicam, handheld, drone, tracking, orbit, push-in, pull-out.
- Framing — extreme wide through extreme close-up, plus POV and over-the-shoulder.
- Plus — lighting spec, composition notes, duration, transition, characters present, dialogue lines.
These are not decorative metadata. They compose into the generation prompt, they drive the coverage grammar that suggests shot lists, and they are what the continuity engine checks against.
