Production Brief Framework

制作简报框架

The Production Brief consists of 11 blocks. Include only relevant blocks - skip non-applicable ones.
制作简报由11个模块组成。仅需包含相关模块,可跳过不适用的部分。

Block 1: Format & Tone (MANDATORY)

模块1:格式与基调(MANDATORY)

Purpose: Establish overall genre and emotional direction
What to include:
  • Genre: Cinematic ad, UGC reaction, music video, mini-scene, documentary
  • Tone: Emotional realism, nostalgic, tender, gritty, comedic, suspenseful
  • Rhythm: Fast-paced, slow contemplative, rhythmic, atmospheric
Example:
Format & Tone: Cinematic mini-scene - emotional realism with soft 
romantic rhythm and atmospheric intimacy. Tone: nostalgic, tender, 
immersive.
目的: 确立整体风格与情感导向
需包含内容:
  • 风格:电影广告、UGC反应视频、音乐视频、迷你场景、纪录片
  • 基调:情感写实、怀旧、温柔、粗粝硬核、喜剧、悬疑
  • 节奏:快节奏、缓慢沉思、富有韵律、氛围感强
示例:
Format & Tone: Cinematic mini-scene - emotional realism with soft 
romantic rhythm and atmospheric intimacy. Tone: nostalgic, tender, 
immersive.

Block 2: Main Subject(s) (MANDATORY)

模块2:主体对象(MANDATORY)

Purpose: Define characters and their chemistry
What to include:
  • Number of characters
  • Brief physical description (age, key features)
  • Relationship dynamic
  • Emotional state
Example:
Main Subject(s): A young couple standing close under one umbrella 
in the rain - their chemistry quiet but electric, eyes locked, 
hesitant smiles.
目的: 定义角色及其互动关系
需包含内容:
  • 角色数量
  • 简要外貌描述(年龄、关键特征)
  • 角色间的关系
  • 情绪状态
示例:
Main Subject(s): A young couple standing close under one umbrella 
in the rain - their chemistry quiet but electric, eyes locked, 
hesitant smiles.

Block 3: Wardrobe and Props (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)

模块3:服装与道具(HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)

Purpose: Ensure visual continuity across cuts
What to include:
  • Specific clothing colors and styles
  • Key accessories (jewelry, watches, etc.)
  • Props that play narrative role
  • Items that reflect light interestingly
Why critical: AI must recreate exact wardrobe across multiple shots. Without specifics, colors/styles will vary.
Example:
Wardrobe and Props: She wears beige trench coat, pearl earrings, 
carries transparent umbrella; he wears navy jacket, white shirt, 
wristwatch reflecting streetlight. Props: umbrella, takeaway coffee 
cup gently steaming.
目的: 确保镜头间视觉连续性
需包含内容:
  • 具体服装颜色与风格
  • 关键配饰(首饰、手表等)
  • 具有叙事作用的道具
  • 能产生有趣反光效果的物品
重要性: AI需要在多个镜头中还原完全一致的服装。如果没有具体说明,颜色和风格可能会出现偏差。
示例:
Wardrobe and Props: She wears beige trench coat, pearl earrings, 
carries transparent umbrella; he wears navy jacket, white shirt, 
wristwatch reflecting streetlight. Props: umbrella, takeaway coffee 
cup gently steaming.

Block 4: Location & Framing (MANDATORY)

模块4:场景与构图(MANDATORY)

Purpose: Establish spatial relationships and composition
What to include:
  • Specific location with sensory details
  • Foreground elements (closest to camera)
  • Midground elements (main action area)
  • Background elements (depth and context)
  • Shot size and angle guidance
Why critical: FG/MG/BG structure prevents "floating in void" feeling. Spatial anchoring maintains coherence.
Example:
Location & Framing: Rain-soaked cobblestone street at dusk outside 
softly glowing café.
Foreground: falling raindrops and bokeh reflections.
Midground: the couple framed beneath the umbrella.
Background: café sign glowing amber, blurred city silhouettes.
Camera alternates between gentle dolly-ins, over-shoulder close-ups, 
and slow ¾ circular arcs to preserve emotional depth.
目的: 确立空间关系与画面构图
需包含内容:
  • 带有感官细节的具体场景
  • 前景元素(最靠近镜头的部分)
  • 中景元素(主要动作区域)
  • 背景元素(增加深度与背景信息)
  • 镜头尺寸与角度指导
重要性: 前景/中景/背景的结构可避免“悬浮虚空”的感觉。空间锚定能保持画面连贯性。
示例:
Location & Framing: Rain-soaked cobblestone street at dusk outside 
softly glowing café.
Foreground: falling raindrops and bokeh reflections.
Midground: the couple framed beneath the umbrella.
Background: café sign glowing amber, blurred city silhouettes.
Camera alternates between gentle dolly-ins, over-shoulder close-ups, 
and slow ¾ circular arcs to preserve emotional depth.

Block 5: Lighting & Palette (MANDATORY)

模块5:光线与调色板(MANDATORY)

Purpose: Define visual mood and color consistency
What to include:
  • Primary light sources (practical, natural, artificial)
  • Color palette (3-5 specific colors) - COLOR ANCHORS
  • Light direction (key, fill, back)
  • Atmospheric effects (haze, diffusion, bloom)
Continuity rule: Repeat color anchors in every related shot for consistency.
Example:
Lighting & Palette: Warm café light spilling onto cool blue-gray rain.
Light sources: diffused streetlight key from camera left, amber window 
backlight.
Color anchors: blush pink, amber gold, navy blue, cool gray, ivory 
skin tones.
Soft diffusion lens and wet reflections maintain continuity.
目的: 定义视觉氛围与色彩一致性
需包含内容:
  • 主要光源(实用光源、自然光、人造光)
  • 调色板(3-5种具体颜色)- 色彩锚点
  • 光线方向(主光、补光、背光)
  • 氛围效果(薄雾、柔化、光晕)
连续性规则: 在所有相关镜头中重复使用色彩锚点以保持一致性。
示例:
Lighting & Palette: Warm café light spilling onto cool blue-gray rain.
Light sources: diffused streetlight key from camera left, amber window 
backlight.
Color anchors: blush pink, amber gold, navy blue, cool gray, ivory 
skin tones.
Soft diffusion lens and wet reflections maintain continuity.

Block 6: Continuity Rules (CRITICAL FOR MULTI-SHOT)

模块6:连续性规则(CRITICAL FOR MULTI-SHOT)

Purpose: Lock elements that MUST remain constant across cuts
What to include:
  • Weather conditions
  • Time of day
  • Lighting conditions
  • Wardrobe (reference Block 3)
  • Location atmosphere
Why critical: Without explicit rules, AI may change weather, time, or lighting between shots.
Example:
Continuity Rules: Consistent light rain throughout, dusk lighting 
(blue hour), café window glow always visible in background, wardrobe 
unchanged.
目的: 锁定在镜头切换时必须保持不变的元素
需包含内容:
  • 天气状况
  • 时间段
  • 光线条件
  • 服装(参考模块3)
  • 场景氛围
重要性: 如果没有明确规则,AI可能会在镜头间改变天气、时间或光线。
示例:
Continuity Rules: Consistent light rain throughout, dusk lighting 
(blue hour), café window glow always visible in background, wardrobe 
unchanged.

Block 7: Actions & Camera Beats (MANDATORY FOR SEQUENCES)

模块7:动作与镜头节拍(MANDATORY FOR SEQUENCES)

Purpose: Choreograph precise timing of subject actions and camera movement
Structure: Time-bounded beats, each with:
  • Time range (e.g., 0-4s)
  • ONE subject action
  • ONE camera movement (from camera-movements vocabulary)
Critical rules:
  • One beat = ONE camera movement (prevent conflicts)
  • Use standardized vocabulary
  • Subject action paired with camera action
  • Timing explicit (avoids ambiguity)
Example:
Actions & Camera Beats (0-12s):

0-4s - Wide shot: camera slowly pushes in through rain toward 
couple; she adjusts umbrella, faint smile.

4-8s - Medium shot: he reaches for her hand; droplets cascade 
down joined fingers; camera drifts laterally, catching reflection 
of neon light across faces.

8-12s - Close-up: their foreheads gently meet; camera rises 
slightly, focusing on breath mixing in rain-haze before fading 
into soft blur.
目的: 精准编排主体动作与镜头运动的时间节奏
结构: 按时间划分的节拍,每个节拍包含:
  • 时间范围(例如:0-4s)
  • 一个主体动作
  • 一个镜头运动(使用camera-movements词汇表中的术语)
关键规则:
  • 一个节拍 = 一个镜头运动(避免冲突)
  • 使用标准化词汇
  • 主体动作与镜头动作配对
  • 明确时间(避免歧义)
示例:
Actions & Camera Beats (0-12s):

0-4s - Wide shot: camera slowly pushes in through rain toward 
couple; she adjusts umbrella, faint smile.

4-8s - Medium shot: he reaches for her hand; droplets cascade 
down joined fingers; camera drifts laterally, catching reflection 
of neon light across faces.

8-12s - Close-up: their foreheads gently meet; camera rises 
slightly, focusing on breath mixing in rain-haze before fading 
into soft blur.

Block 8: Montage Plan (OPTIONAL - FOR COMPLEX EDITS)

模块8:蒙太奇计划(OPTIONAL - FOR COMPLEX EDITS)

Purpose: Define cut types, pacing, and transitions
What to include:
  • Cut types (jump cut, match cut, L-cut, J-cut)
  • Insert shots (detail emphasis)
  • Transitions (whip-pan, flash-frame, crossfade)
  • Pacing rhythm (fast/slow)
Example:
Montage Plan: Three inserts: (raindrop hitting umbrella → fingertip 
touch → smile). Smooth match cuts guided by piano rhythm; final 
0.5-second emotional hold before fade-out. Transitions use natural 
lens flares from passing car headlights.
目的: 定义剪辑类型、节奏与转场效果
需包含内容:
  • 剪辑类型(跳切、匹配剪辑、L型剪辑、J型剪辑)
  • 插入镜头(突出细节)
  • 转场效果(甩镜、闪切、交叉淡入淡出)
  • 节奏快慢
示例:
Montage Plan: Three inserts: (raindrop hitting umbrella → fingertip 
touch → smile). Smooth match cuts guided by piano rhythm; final 
0.5-second emotional hold before fade-out. Transitions use natural 
lens flares from passing car headlights.

Block 9: Dialogue (IF APPLICABLE)

模块9:对话(IF APPLICABLE)

Purpose: Scripted speech with proper formatting
Format:
Character name: "Dialogue text"
Options:
  • With subtitles (default)
  • Without subtitles: add
    (no subtitles)
    after dialogue
Example:
Dialogue:
Whisper (female): "Stay a little longer."
He exhales softly, smiling. (no subtitles)
目的: 带有规范格式的脚本化台词
格式:
Character name: "Dialogue text"
选项:
  • 带字幕(默认)
  • 不带字幕:在对话后添加
    (no subtitles)
示例:
Dialogue:
Whisper (female): "Stay a little longer."
He exhales softly, smiling. (no subtitles)

Block 10: Sound & Foley (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)

模块10:音效与拟音(HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)

Purpose: Layer realistic soundscape
What to include:
  • Micro-sounds (peel, snap, pour, shoe squeak, breath)
  • Ambient audio (environmental base layer)
  • Music (if applicable, with timing)
  • Silence (explicitly note if intentional)
Why detailed: Generic "rain sounds" vs "soft rainfall, muffled footsteps, umbrella fabric tension" creates immersion difference.
Example:
Sound & Foley: Soft rainfall, muffled footsteps on wet cobblestone, 
umbrella fabric tension, faint breath, distant café hum, soft piano 
underscore with subtle reverb.
目的: 构建真实的音景层次
需包含内容:
  • 微音效(剥离声、断裂声、倾倒声、脚步声、呼吸声)
  • 环境音(环境基础音层)
  • 音乐(如适用,需注明时间)
  • 静音(如有明确需求需注明)
细节重要性: 通用的“雨声”与“轻柔的雨声、湿滑鹅卵石路上的模糊脚步声、雨伞布料的紧绷声”之间的差异,会直接影响沉浸感。
示例:
Sound & Foley: Soft rainfall, muffled footsteps on wet cobblestone, 
umbrella fabric tension, faint breath, distant café hum, soft piano 
underscore with subtle reverb.

Block 11: Finish (OPTIONAL - FOR STYLE POLISH)

模块11:最终润色(OPTIONAL - FOR STYLE POLISH)

Purpose: Post-processing aesthetic touches
What to include:
  • Film grain intensity
  • Halation (glow around highlights)
  • LUT intent (color grading direction)
  • Chromatic effects
  • Poster frame (final memorable image)
Example:
Finish: Light film grain, warm halation on highlights, gentle 
chromatic bloom around neon reflections. LUT intent: vintage romance 
with balanced teal-amber contrast. Poster frame: their hands clasped 
beneath umbrella, neon reflections rippling across puddled ground 
like living light.
目的: 后期处理的美学调整
需包含内容:
  • 胶片颗粒强度
  • 光晕(高光周围的发光效果)
  • LUT目标(调色方向)
  • 色差效果
  • 海报帧(最终的标志性画面)
示例:
Finish: Light film grain, warm halation on highlights, gentle 
chromatic bloom around neon reflections. LUT intent: vintage romance 
with balanced teal-amber contrast. Poster frame: their hands clasped 
beneath umbrella, neon reflections rippling across puddled ground 
like living light.
