8. Locations

Name the places your video cuts between — each with a short description and a reference image when needed.

Locations is your approved list of places (or studio stages) where shots may happen — rooftop, hallway, club interior — grounded in the world you’ve already locked so shots don’t invent random geography.

Each row usually has short prose describing the empty space plus a still so shots staged there share light and colour.

What this step is for

A finite set of named places with rules (“night rain”, “handheld corridor”) so Shot scaffold only assigns shots you’ve approved.

What to do

  1. Open Locations.
  2. Add one row per place — title plus what matters (time of day, weather, lens feel).
  3. For each location, generate or upload plate candidates, then tick the plate you want — top-left green checkbox, same control as Environment chat and Gallery.
  4. Cross-check Acts — each act should lean on locations that support its emotion.
  5. Drop contradictory leftovers from earlier experiments.
  6. Approve / lock before scaffold — scaffold draws only from this list.

Good to know

  • Fewer, sharper locations read better on screen than dozens of fuzzy ones.
