B-Roll Shot Lister
Turns a script into a shot list of b-roll and visuals to capture.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
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?
