Plan a music video concept, storyline, and shot list
Get two or three music video concepts, a scene-by-scene storyline, and a shot list sized to your budget and crew.
The prompt
Help me plan a music video.
Song: [TITLE, genre, tempo, length]
What the song is about: [THEME, story, or mood in a few lines; paste key lyrics I wrote if useful]
Artist image: [how the artist wants to come across - e.g. "raw and intimate", "playful and colorful"]
Budget and crew: [e.g. "$500, phone camera, two friends" / "small production crew, one shoot day"]
Locations I can access: [LIST]
Where it will be released: [YouTube / vertical Reels and TikTok / both]
References I like: [visual styles, eras, or videos - describe the look, not just names]
Give me:
1. Three distinct concepts (narrative, performance, and one wildcard), each with a one-line hook, the visual style, and why it fits the song.
2. For the concept I'm most likely to pick within my budget: a storyline mapped to the song's structure (intro, verses, chorus, bridge, outro) with timestamps.
3. A shot list table: shot number, song section, location, shot type and camera movement, action, props or wardrobe, estimated setup time.
4. Three moments designed to be clipped as 10-15 second vertical teasers.
5. A simple shoot-day schedule and a list of permits, releases, or permissions I may need (locations, people who appear on camera, any music or footage I don't own).
Keep every idea achievable with my budget and crew. Flag anything that would need extra money or skills, and give a cheaper alternative.
