What this does

Paste a script or outline and we return a numbered B-roll shot list: the shot, the line of script it covers in quotes, then the framing.

Shots are grouped by location where that saves a trip, and we flag anything that needs a person, a permit, or good weather.

Use cases
  1. 01Turn a finished script into a filming checklist in one pass.
  2. 02See which shots need to be grouped by location before you plan a shoot day.
  3. 03Catch a shot that needs a permit or a person before the day arrives.
FAQ

Questions, answered.

Does this work from a rough outline or only a full script?

Either. A full script gives more precise line-to-shot matching; a rough outline gives a looser, still useful list.

Do I need an account?

Yes. B-Roll Shot List is a Starter tool.

Will it know my actual filming locations?

No. It only flags that a shot needs a location or permit in general terms. You still decide where.
