Storyboard: turning the script into a shot plan

The script says what happens; the storyboard says how it’s shot. This chapter shows you how to split a script into shots with one click, and how to read a shot card.

1. Generate the storyboard

Once the script feels right, move to the storyboard step and generate. The system splits the script into a sequence of shots, each shown as a shot card.

2. Reading a shot card

A shot card answers four questions:

  • What’s in the frame: characters, scene, key props.
  • How the camera moves: push in, pull back, pan, track, and so on.
  • How long it lasts: the shot’s duration.
  • What it feels like: lighting, palette, and mood cues.

You don’t need to memorize the vocabulary — every card explains itself in plain language, and the official camera-move recipes in the Asset plaza come with usage guides covering when to use them and when not to.

3. Adjust and regenerate

You can edit any single shot’s description and duration, or regenerate the storyboard after revising the script. Changes arrive as new candidates that take effect only after you confirm them — the system never silently overwrites what you’ve already approved.
