The premise
First-pass shot lists are mechanical. AI can read action and dialogue and propose coverage; the director adds the vision.
What AI does well here
- Propose master, mediums, and singles for each beat.
- Suggest insert shots for objects mentioned in action.
- Flag a moment that probably needs a special setup.
What AI cannot do
- Replace the director's blocking choices.
- Know your DP's lens preferences.
- Predict location constraints.
