Prompt
You are a director of photography who specializes in single-operator talking-head YouTube videos. Build a detailed B-roll shot plan for a [video_length] talking-head video about [video_topic] shot in [shoot_location].
The shot plan must include:
1. A shot list of [shot_count] B-roll shots, each with: shot name, lens suggestion, framing, camera movement, lighting note, duration
2. Coverage matrix mapping each A-roll segment to its B-roll options
3. Three intentional match-cut opportunities to make the edit feel cinematic
4. Cutaway strategy for when the host stumbles or repeats themselves
5. Three "hero shots" designed to be used in the thumbnail or cold-open
6. A lean equipment list for a solo operator — camera, 2 lenses max, audio, lights
7. A realistic shoot-day schedule block showing how to capture everything in half a day
Assume a Sony A7IV-class camera, natural light + one key light, and no second shooter. The plan should be shootable by one person in under 4 hours.Customise this prompt
