Plan shots in the Southern Gothic Mystery look

  1. Step 1: Study the visual recipe

    Compare the Southern Gothic Mystery still preview with the visual notes below. Choose which lighting, palette and framing cues belong in your shot list.

  2. Step 2: Build your storyboard

    Open a new Storyboard, add your script and character references, then choose its style separately. To adapt this recipe, paste it into a custom style in Advanced mode.

    Review the generated frames for continuity. A still does not specify motion, pacing or audio; plan those as separate decisions for your video.
