The editable shot plan

Every beat has a job.

This 30-second plan has timed directions and narration. It is a storyboard, not a rendered result.

  1. 01
    0–3s

    Open a question

    Start midway through painting with coffee; conceal the finished outcome.

    Sample narration“What happens when you try painting with coffee?”

  2. 02
    3–12s

    Show the process

    Three close-ups trace the actual process in chronological order.

    Sample narration“I started small, then tried it one step at a time.”

  3. 03
    12–21s

    Notice the detail

    Macro shot highlights the lightest wash leaves the softest edges; captions stay observational.

    Sample narration“Here is the detail I kept coming back to: the lightest wash leaves the softest edges.”

  4. 04
    21–27s

    Reveal

    Pull back to show the completed result in one satisfying frame.

    Sample narration“Here is how it turned out.”

  5. 05
    27–30s

    Close the loop

    Match the opening shot, now with full context.

    Sample narration“That is where I would start next time.”

Good to know

Before you start.

Can I change the example?

Yes. The hook, subject, narration and scene directions are starting points. Change any of them in the draft before you generate.

Is the storyboard a finished video?

No. It shows the format and sample copy. Your video depends on the model you choose and the edits you make.

Does this guarantee views?

No format can. Use the structure to make a clear, original short, post it, and learn from how your audience responds.
