Recommended Grid Size
The following grid sizes are recommended:
- 3x3 storyboard grid: Suitable for short scenes or core plot display
- 4x4 storyboard grid: Suitable for medium-length scene descriptions
- 5x5 storyboard grid: Suitable for more complex scene sequences
- 6x6 storyboard grid: Suitable for detailed story development and plot twists
Template Instructions
- NxN storyboard grid: Specify the number of rows and columns of the storyboard, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5 or 6x6 is recommended
- Aspect ratio: Clearly state the aspect ratio of the storyboard in the prompt, either 16:9 or 9:16
- Reference image mapping: Clearly reference the reference images of characters and scenes in the prompt, in the format of "[Character Name] Image Reference X", "[Scene Name] Scene Reference X" to maintain visual consistency
- Screen requirements: No subtitles, dialogues, text, watermarks or dialog boxes are allowed on the screen, and there is a very thin 1-pixel pure black gap between storyboards
- Environmental background information: Describe the environment and background of the scene
- Style and texture description: Specify the art style and visual texture
- Storyboard order: Describe the content of each shot in row and column order
Single Shot Duration Reference
Single shot duration is an important element in storyboards. The following is a reference for single shot duration of different types of short dramas:
-
Vertical screen micro short dramas (1-3 minutes per episode)
- High-paced cool text/counterattack/suspense: The average single storyboard lasts 2.5-4 seconds, the first 3 storyboards ≤1.5 seconds, reversal/conflict shots 1-2 seconds, rarely more than 6 seconds
- Slow-paced emotional/romance/literary: The average single storyboard lasts 4-8 seconds, emotional close-ups and dialogue shots can be 8-12 seconds, strictly no more than 15 seconds
- Ultra-short traffic-oriented short dramas: The average single storyboard lasts 2-4 seconds, the maximum is no more than 6 seconds
-
Horizontal screen short dramas on long video platforms (5-15 minutes per episode)
- High-paced suspense/criminal investigation/cool text: The average single storyboard lasts 4-6 seconds
- Regular plot/emotional/urban: The average single storyboard lasts 6-12 seconds
-
Special categories
- Animation short dramas: The average single storyboard lasts 2-4 seconds, the number of storyboards is 20%-30% more than that of live-action short dramas
- One-shot short dramas: A single set of storyboard only has 1 core storyboard, corresponding to the full duration of the episode
Notes
- The more detailed the scene description provided, the higher the quality of the generated prompts
- You can specify specific artistic references (such as films, painters or art movements)
- You can adjust the length and detail of the prompts as needed
- The generated prompts are especially suitable for AI image generation tools such as nano banana and seedream
Application Scenarios
