Three-Act Micro-Story Storyboard | Follow-Along Exercise

Cosa realizzerai

A storyboard or production plan, an asset list and a check log; you'll need to produce the final video yourself.

Ti servirà

• A chat, image or video tool suited to the task (PromptKite does not provide model credits)
• Your own input materials and a folder for saving results

Passaggi

1. Define the inputs for this exercise

   The demo inputs for this exercise are: Topic: a little robot caring for a plant; Duration: 30 seconds. First confirm whether these conditions fit your situation; replace “paste your material” in the example with real material. Write the goal as a deliverable you can check against.

2. Run it once for your scenario

   First give the example prompt to a chat tool to get a storyboard or production plan. After checking the timing, mark each shot as live footage, still-image editing or video generation, then prepare assets; copying once won't produce a finished video. Focus of this task: design six shots across three acts, goal, difficulty and a reasonable resolution, and don't let the plant grow instantly without explanation.

3. Check against the criteria and revise

   Check each shot against “Is cause and effect plausible, are characters continuous, and are time jumps clear? Check whether the duration and shots are achievable.” If a movement is hard to achieve, drop secondary camera moves first and keep one main action; if the timing is off, fix the schedule before making assets, rather than padding with unrelated shots.

4. Save and review

   Save the final result, the prompt, the source of your input material and one reason for a change. Name files with the date plus the task name; save reusable versions to your PromptKite Prompt Pocket. Next time, change one condition and try again, noting whether the result still holds.

Errori comuni

• The input is still placeholder text, so the output looks empty — Replace placeholders such as “paste your material” in the example with real material; state clearly that missing facts are unknown instead of asking the model to fill them in.
• The result doesn't meet the standard for this scenario — Check each shot against “Is cause and effect plausible, are characters continuous, and are time jumps clear? Check whether the duration and shots are achievable.” If a movement is hard to achieve, drop secondary camera moves first and keep one main action; if the timing is off, fix the schedule before making assets, rather than padding with unrelated shots.

Modello di esercizio

Create a video plan around {subject}, with a duration of 30 seconds. Design six shots across three acts, goal, difficulty and a reasonable resolution, and don't let the plant grow instantly without explanation. Lock the character and props, mark the transitions needed for time jumps, and express emotion through action rather than piling on adjectives. Output an actionable table with shot number, timing, shot size, main action, camera movement, captions or sound, and assets to prepare; for a shoot plan, distinguish shooting time from final video length. Keep only one main motion per generated shot, and describe its start and end states. Don't invent actual shooting or generation results; clearly list any missing reference assets. Finally, provide a pre-publication checklist and a simplified fallback if it doesn't work.
