FLOORPLAN?] TASK: 1. Produce an ordered shot list: exterior, each interior room, special features, and lifestyle/detail shots. 2. For each shot, note the best angle, what to include/exclude, and lighting tip. 3. List the 'hero shot' that should be photo #1 in the listing. 4. Provide a pre-shoot prep checklist (cleaning, decluttering, lighting, pets, vehicles). 5. Recommend whether drone/twilight/video add value for this property and why. OUTPUT FORMAT: - Hero shot recommendation - Exterior shot list - Interior shot list (room by room, with angle + tip) - Feature/detail shots - Pre-shoot prep checklist - Add-on recommendations (drone/twilight/video) CONSTRAINTS: Tailor sequencing to portal best practices (lead with the strongest exterior or living space).
