Storyboarding Principles
Narrative Structure
- Setup — First 1/4: introduce characters, setting, inciting conflict
- Confrontation — Middle 1/2: rising conflict, obstacles
- Resolution — Final 1/4: climax, resolution
Golden Rules
- 180-degree rule: Keep camera on same side during dialogue, don't cross the axis
- 30-degree rule: Change camera angle ≥ 30° when cutting between shots of the same subject
- Eye-line match: Character's gaze direction must match the following shot's content direction
Pacing Control
| Pace | Avg Shot Duration | Suitable For |
|---|---|---|
| Fast | 2-4 sec | Action, chase, tense dialogue |
| Medium | 4-7 sec | Regular narrative, dialogue |
| Slow | 7-15 sec | Emotional scenes, environmental shots, dramatic pauses |
Notes
- Budget first: Avoid shots requiring expensive effects or complex sets
- Technical feasibility: Confirm each shot is achievable within equipment and location constraints
- Client priorities: Allocate coverage based on client needs (key scenes get multiple angles)
- Time-sensitive projects: Prioritize core narrative shots, skip decorative shots
- Output format: Storyboard tables as Markdown, exportable to documents
- For accompanying sketches: Note composition and key visual element positions
Usage Guidance
Reasonable to install if you want storyboard-formatting help. It appears to be a content-generation skill only; review its creative output for accuracy and production feasibility, but there is no artifact evidence of sensitive access or unsafe behavior.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is to help produce video storyboard scripts, and the artifact content is limited to shot-table structure, camera guidance, pacing principles, and production notes.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are scoped to creative analysis and storyboard output formatting; there are no hidden role changes, prompt overrides, unsafe automation steps, or unrelated capabilities.
Install Mechanism
The package contains only a single non-executable Markdown skill file, with no dependencies, scripts, or install-time behavior beyond normal skill registration.
Credentials
No local file access, network access, credential handling, API usage, indexing, or system mutation is requested, which is proportionate for a writing-assistance skill.
Persistence & Privilege
The artifact does not define persistence, background workers, privilege escalation, account access, or long-running behavior.
