## Prompt

```text
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.
