Mise-en-Scène & Blocking

Mise-en-Scène & Blocking — Scene to Shot List (English title). Enter a scene, and the Skill will return a staging solution and translate it into prompts. It breaks the scene into action beats, places characters in space, determines who wants what in the frame, derives blocking movements from changes in the characters’ relationships, selects shot size and angle to match the meaning of the moment, maintains the eyeline and 180-degree axis, decides whether the camera should move and why, reads lighting and time of day as carriers of meaning, plans the scene’s sound layer, and produces a shot-by-shot shot list with a sound column and ready-to-use prompts for your generation model. The Skill answers two questions for every scene: what to stage on set and what to write in the prompt so the generator reproduces exactly that. It is not about “what kinds of shots exist,” but about a specific scene. A separate section addresses the main challenge in AI video—character inconsistency and a “clip-like” feel—with a fixed reference look, consistent wording, shot order, seed, and a list of things to avoid. It is suitable for AI directors and creators making videos in Seedance, Veo, Kling, and similar tools, as well as indie animators, marketers, and agencies. The output format is a shot table and prompt list, ready to use immediately.
