The prompt

I'm sharing a reference video I like: [upload / link / or describe it shot by shot]. I want to make my own original video with a similar structure and feel, about [my subject, e.g. my bakery's new cake range], not a copy of it. Step 1 - Break down the reference: A table: Shot # | Start-end time | Shot type (wide, close-up...) | Camera move | What happens | Transition | Sound/music cue. Then note the pacing pattern (e.g. fast cuts in the first 3 seconds, a slow hero shot in the middle). Step 2 - My version: A new shot list with the same rhythm but my content. For each shot: what to film, where, props, camera position, phone or camera settings, and duration. Step 3 - Production checklist: locations, props, people, lighting, and a filming order that saves time. Step 4 - If I'll use AI video tools: a short prompt for each shot. Don't reuse the reference's music, logos, characters or exact lines.
