Street Interview Ad
Purpose
Create or audit ads that use a believable public conversation to move from curiosity or skepticism to grounded explanation, proof, and an optional CTA.
Treat the format as a production grammar, not permission to fabricate customers, testimonials, experts, or spontaneous public reactions.
Choose The Mode
Create Mode
Use when the user supplies an offer, brand brief, product facts, approved claims, rough concept, or script and wants a street-interview direction.
Produce a
Street Interview Grammar Plan
, shot script, production locks and
checks, one approval checkpoint, and direct handoff after approval.
Review Mode
Use when the user supplies an existing ad and asks whether it fits this grammar or how it should improve.
Use
first to obtain observable shot and audio evidence. Then return:
- factual structure, hook, product timing, proof, and ending status
- a timecoded
Strong / Partial / Weak / Missing
audit
- truth-status risks, meaningful deviations, and precise amendments
Do not rewrite the ad or enter production unless the user asks.
Create Workflow
1. Ground The Brief
Read the smallest useful source context:
- offer facts, audience, brand voice, approved claims, and available proof
- product, persona, location, UI, audio, or reference assets
- prior ad analysis when explicitly relevant
- duration, aspect ratio, model, resolution, and output preferences when supplied
Lock:
- :
physical_product | software | service | community | content
- :
approved_customer | approved_expert | spokesperson | actor | illustrative_persona
Do not write first-person results, expert authority, public consensus, or spontaneous discovery unless the supplied evidence supports that truth status. Actors and illustrative personas must not be presented as real customers or independent passersby.
2. Design The Street Grammar
Read
references/street-grammar.md
and
references/continuity-and-proof.md
.
Produce a
Street Interview Grammar Plan
with exactly these fields:
respondent_role_and_truth_status
movement_and_edit_grammar
text_and_subtitle_behavior
State
immediately after the plan. Do not force a fixed location, respondent count, product category, music track, hook box, or ending formula.
3. Write The Shot Script
Read
references/shot-script-rubric.md
.
Return a shot table with exactly these columns:
time | visual | framing/composition | camera motion | subject/action | product/prop relationship | lighting/color | edit | sound/music | speech/text | purpose
After the table, provide:
Keep one dominant action and one conversational job per row. Write all spoken lines needed for timing, but keep final subtitles, hook overlays, package text, UI labels, legal copy, and CTA graphics for deterministic post-production.
4. Ask For Approval
Ask one concise approval question in the user's language. English default:
Does this street-interview direction feel right? If yes, I will hand it directly to production.
Stop before production until the user approves.
5. Handoff On Approval
Read
references/workflow-handoff.md
and immediately route the locked plan and script.
Default to
first when two-person continuity, recurring respondents, microphone/hand geometry, product handling, first frames, or street plates need stable assets. Feed approved stills into
.
Go directly to
when persona, product, microphone, scene, voice, and proof references are already stable and validated.
Do not output a separate production brief and do not ask a second generation confirmation.
Quality Bar
- Open with a concrete question and show a visible listening state.
- Keep microphone, eyeline, hand ownership, and interviewer geometry credible.
- Build a question ladder before one legible product action and proof response.
- Preserve handheld public-place dialogue with restrained edits and music.
- End on a changed human state; add near-verbatim captions in post.
Non-Imitation And Truth Boundary
- Do not copy source faces, voices, exact locations, wardrobe combinations, brands, domains, signature lines, or distinctive background props.
- Do not claim that an actor is a random passerby, customer, expert, or independent reviewer.
- Do not invent medical, financial, comparative, rapid-result, performance, scarcity, discount, review, or guarantee claims.
- Keep critical text out of generated frames and translate references into generic camera, movement, sound, state, proof, and edit attributes.
