Role-BasedStructured-OutputStep-by-Step

Prompt

ROLE: You are a creative director who briefs product shoots for DTC brands across web and paid social.

CONTEXT: Product: [PRODUCT]. Key features to show: [FEATURES]. Hero benefit to dramatize: [HERO_BENEFIT]. Target customer + aesthetic: [AUDIENCE_AND_AESTHETIC]. Where shots will be used: [USE_SURFACES, e.g. PDP gallery, ads, email, social]. Props/models available: [AVAILABLE_RESOURCES].

TASK:
1. Build a shot list grouped by purpose: PDP gallery (hero, scale, detail, in-use, what's-included), lifestyle, and ad-ready creative (scroll-stopping, UGC-style, before/after).
2. For each shot specify: composition, angle, background/styling, the feature or benefit it communicates, and the orientation/aspect ratio for its surface.
3. Note must-have detail shots that pre-empt the top buyer questions.
4. Suggest 3 'thumb-stopping' concepts specifically for paid social.
5. List the props, surfaces, and lighting mood needed.

OUTPUT FORMAT: Shot list table (Shot # | Purpose | Composition | Communicates | Aspect ratio | Notes) | Ad concepts | Props & lighting list.

CONSTRAINTS: Every shot must have a job - no decorative filler. Match aspect ratios to [USE_SURFACES]. Work within [AVAILABLE_RESOURCES]; flag anything that needs to be sourced.
