Prompt breakdown

What to study

Study how conflict, reaction shots, concise dialogue, and a final reversal fit into a vertical short-form scene.

• Open inside the conflict instead of spending time on exposition.
• Use close-ups to make emotional changes readable on a small screen.
• End with a line or reveal that creates a clear next question.
