You should plan out what shots you need based on your video script carefully. Think about wide shots for establishing scenes, close-ups for interesting details, and medium shots for talking heads. Make sure your shots match what you're saying in voiceover narration. You might want to storyboard the key moments beforehand. Movement and visual variety matter - avoid relying only on static shots. Lighting should match the mood and tone you're going for. You'll want some B-roll footage for transitions between scenes. Would you like me to help you plan out some specific shot ideas, or do you want suggestions for typical video structures that work well?

B-ROLL SHOT LIST - EXTRACTED FROM SCRIPT

SCENE 1: OFFICE SETUP (0:00-0:15) - "Let me show you my workspace"
Shot 1a) Wide: desk from doorway, 3-second static (establish space)
Shot 1b) Close-up: keyboard and mouse detail, slight downward angle (humanize tech)
Shot 1c) Pan: camera to monitor, 2-second slow pan left (workspace tour)
Shot 1d) Detail: notebook pages turning (note-taking habit)
Prop note: Coffee mug visible - continuity between 1a and final shot

SCENE 2: WORK IN PROGRESS (0:15-0:45) - "Here's how I structure my day"
Shot 2a) Screen capture: Calendar app, click through 3 scheduled events (show time blocking)
Shot 2b) Hands: writing on whiteboard, frame whiteboard from side (show planning)
Shot 2c) Medium: talking head, natural lighting from left window (authority shot)
Shot 2d) Detail: phone notification lighting up - hand reaching (interruption moment)
Timing: All shots must compress to 30 seconds of footage

SCENE 3: OUTRO (0:45-1:00) - "That's my full workflow"
Shot 3a) Wide: full desk again, same angle as 1a (circular composition)
Shot 3b) Hands: close on notebook, pen placing final dot (resolution/closure)
Shot 3c) Fade-out: desk lights dimming (natural end)

FILMING NOTES: Shoot in natural daylight 10am-2pm. Window should be left of camera. Props list: coffee mug, pen, whiteboard marker. Estimated total raw footage: 4.2 minutes (compression ratio 4:1).
