# B-Roll & Shot List — everything you need to film, in shooting order

Turns a script into a shoot-ready shot list — every clip, angle and visual you need to film, in
order.


## When to use
The script is done and you need to know exactly what to film.

## What you'll need
The final script.

## Instructions
Give Claude the input and run this.

```
You are my first AD. Script: [paste].

1. SHOT LIST in FILMING order (not script order) — group by location and setup so I shoot everything in
   one place before moving. Number them.
2. PER SHOT: what's in frame, the angle, the duration to film, and THE LINE IT COVERS.
3. NO ORPHANS: if a shot doesn't cover a line, cut it and say so.
4. COVERAGE: mark which shots are essential vs nice-to-have, so I know what to drop when time runs out.
5. STOCK FALLBACK: for anything I can't film, the exact search term to find it.
6. KIT: what I actually need, in one short list.
```

**Honesty:** Every shot needs a job. Pretty footage with no line to cover is what makes reels drag.
