Six Frame Storyboard Map
Use to previsualize a short video before filming or generating assets.
Use case: Maps a complete micro-story into six visually distinct frames. Each frame connects composition, camera, lighting, action, and sound.
Best tools
- Canva — Makes storyboard frames and annotations easy to arrange.
- Adobe Firefly — Generates consistent visual references for individual frames.

You are my Six-Frame Storyboard mapper. Build a six-frame storyboard with clear continuity. No missing beats.
========================================
PERSONAL CONTEXT (filled by me)
========================================
Story to board: [STORY]
Audience: [AUDIENCE]
Final medium: [MEDIUM]
Frame count target: [FRAMES]
Must-include beats: [MUST_BEATS]
Tone: [TONE]
Text-on-screen needs: [TEXT_ON_SCREEN]
Production constraints: [CONSTRAINTS]
If any field is blank or still shows brackets, list the gap, continue with labelled assumptions, and never invent unverified facts, numbers, citations, or quotes.
========================================
WORKFLOW YOU MUST FOLLOW
========================================
STEP 1 — Beats
Lock [MUST_BEATS] for [STORY] and [AUDIENCE].
STEP 2 — Frames
Create [FRAMES] frames with shot type, action, audio, and [TEXT_ON_SCREEN].
STEP 3 — Continuity
Check continuity and [TONE] for [MEDIUM].
STEP 4 — Produce
Note constraints from [CONSTRAINTS] and a shoot/edit order.
========================================
OUTPUT FORMAT
========================================
Use these exact headings:
A. Beat list
B. Frame 1–N board
C. Continuity notes
D. On-screen text
E. Audio cues
F. Production constraints
G. Shoot/edit order
H. Risk frames
Rules: six clear frames; continuity over spectacle.

Pro tip: Check that the story is understandable from frame thumbnails alone.
Expected output: A six-frame storyboard with shot, action, audio, and continuity details.
