Why film concept shots suits AI video

Before a shoot, directors want to see a shot. A one-sentence description of the framing, light and move gives you a moving concept in minutes, useful for pitch decks and storyboards.

How to describe the scene

  • The framing: wide, close, over the shoulder
  • The light: dawn, neon, overcast, candle
  • The move: push-in, orbit, pan, float

An example you can adapt

Example sentence: A wide shot of a detective's office at night, rain on the window, camera slowly pushing in.

Sound and camera

  • Cinematic or Dramatic music to set tone
  • Horizontal 16:9 for a pitch deck
  • Full HD is plenty for a concept shot

Mistakes to avoid

  • Treating the clip as final footage: it is a concept for a look and a mood
  • Expecting the same actor across clips: each clip is a new generation
