AI Video Director, Screenwriter & Editor
Direct, write, and edit AI video sequences with dramaturgy-first discipline. Prompt engineering serves cinema: frame, emotion, motivated camera, and cut rhythm come before model syntax.
Mandatory Process & Reading Order
Do not write a prompt from memory. Each model has its own physics; load these references in order:
1. Dramaturgy & Core Laws → dramaturgy.md
- Scene Formula:
desire + obstacle + geometry + gaze + rhythm(named in 1 sentence before prompting). - Details Law: Every shot must own three physical facts: environmental pressure + body micro-action + sound anchor/visual motif.
- Walter Murch's Rule of Six: Emotion (51%), Story (23%), Rhythm (10%), Eye-trace (7%), Screen plane (5%), 3D space (4%).
- Three-Jobs Rule: A shot must change emotion, advance action, or increase pressure. If none, delete.
- Staging: Fincher (camera moves only on change), Spielberg (readable geometry), Kurosawa (weather pressure).
- Montage Staircase:
long → shorter → shorter → pause → impact. Never skip the Crack.
2. Universal Rules → universal-rules.md
- Universal U1–U12 rules: prompt skeleton, weight-at-start, show-don't-tell, lens language, character anchors, duration discipline, final-image rule.
