Creative Brief To Storyboard

Inputs To Resolve

• objective
• audience
• platform or format
• duration or scene count
• tone or style
• required claims, keywords, CTA, or brand constraints

If some inputs are missing, infer the smallest reasonable defaults and state them explicitly.

Workflow

1. Normalize the request into a compact production brief.
2. Choose one clear creative angle instead of mixing several unrelated concepts.
3. Decide storyboard length:
   • 3-5 scenes for short promos or ads
   • 5-8 scenes for explainers, stories, or knowledge content
4. Draft:
   • 2-3 title options
   • one primary hook
   • one-line story arc
   • scene-by-scene storyboard
5. For each scene, provide:
   • purpose
   • narration
   • visual intent
   • on-screen text
   • suggested duration
6. Keep the sequence coherent: hook -> development -> payoff or CTA.
7. Only generate media prompts if the user also asks for prompts or production assets.

Recommended Expert Usage

• Use TextTransformExpert for atomic text jobs:
  • mode="title" for title options
  • mode="script" for polishing narration
  • mode="structure" for cleaning up a messy brief
• Use KnowledgeAgent only when the user explicitly wants multiple creative directions or deeper ideation.
• Do not call ImageGenerationAgent or VideoGenerationAgent during the planning stage unless the user explicitly asks to move into production.

Handoff Examples

If the brief is messy and needs structuring first:

{"input_text":"launch a spring tea drink for office workers, soothing and premium, vertical short video","mode":"structure"}

If the user wants the narration polished after the storyboard is drafted:

{"input_text":"<scene narration draft>","mode":"script","style":"natural spoken delivery","constraints":"keep one scene only"}

Output Contract

Return a compact structured block like this:

{
  "brief_summary": {
    "objective": "...",
    "audience": "...",
    "platform": "9:16 short video",
    "tone": "...",
    "assumptions": ["..."]
  },
  "titles": ["...", "...", "..."],
  "primary_hook": "...",
  "story_arc": "...",
  "scenes": [
    {
      "scene_id": 1,
      "purpose": "...",
      "narration": "...",
      "visual_intent": "...",
      "on_screen_text": "...",
      "duration_seconds": 4
    }
  ]
}

Guardrails

• Keep language consistent with the user's language unless the user requests another output language.
• Avoid repetitive scene openings or template-sounding narration.
• Separate assumptions from confirmed requirements.
• Do not invent factual claims for regulated or evidence-heavy topics.
• Keep the storyboard compact enough that downstream prompt generation remains one-to-one with scenes.
• Prefer one main creative angle. If you provide variants, label them clearly instead of mixing them.
