在影視前製流程中，Shot List（鏡頭列表） 與 Storyboard（分鏡腳本/分鏡圖） 是相輔相成的兩大工具，前者是執行清單，後者是視覺預覽。
1. 核心關係：從視覺想像到執行細節
- 輔助與轉化：通常先由 Storyboard 視覺化導演的構思，確保敘事流暢；再將其轉化為 Shot List，列出所有技術參數以供現場拍攝執行。
- 相應關係：Storyboard 中的每一格畫面，通常都會對應到 Shot List 中的一個（或多個）具體鏡頭。
2. 主要區別對照表
| 特性 | Storyboard (分鏡腳本) | Shot List (鏡頭列表) |
|---|---|---|
| 形式 | 圖像為主，類似連環畫或漫畫 | 文字/表格為主，結構化的清單 |
| 主要功能 | 溝通視覺風格、構圖、動作流向 | 規劃拍攝物流、器材準備、現場進度 |
| 包含資訊 | 角色位置、背景、大略視角 | 鏡頭焦距、相機運動、燈光、特殊器材需求 |
| 主要對象 | 導演、攝影指導、美術指導、演員 | 攝影組、燈光組、副導 (1st AD)、場務組 |
3. 如何協作運用？
- 創意發想階段：導演與分鏡師繪製 Storyboard，用來解決構圖問題，並確認各鏡頭間是否能流暢剪輯。
- 物流規劃階段：副導根據 Storyboard 整理出 Shot List。現場拍攝時，通常不按劇情順序拍，而是將 Shot List 依照場地、燈光設置或演員檔期重新排序，以最大化拍攝效率。
- 現場執行階段：工作人員看 Shot List 知道下一個要架什麼鏡頭，看 Storyboard 知道畫面要長什麼樣子。
在某些快速製作（如廣告）中，Storyboard 極為關鍵且需客戶簽核；而在一般戲劇中，若場景簡單，有時會略過繪製分鏡圖，僅依賴詳細的 Shot List 進行拍攝。
範例
your task is to generate a visual shot list containing image prompts to match this narrative below:The great scientist, Archimedes, made his famous statement, “Give me a place on which to stand, and I will move the earth.” He was challenged to put his words into action, and according to the historians, he arranged a series of pulleys and cogs that allowed him to pull a ship out of the Syracusan Fleet from the water onto the beach. Today in addressing the relationship between science and technology to national security we must operate as a cooperative team trying to “move the earth” in a sense toward freedom, justice, opportunity, and sustainable development.
Here is a visual shot list designed to accompany the narrative, broken down by scene. Each shot includes a description of the visual intent and a specific Image Prompt optimized for AI image generators (like Midjourney, DALL-E 3, or Stable Diffusion).
Shot 1: The Visionary
- Narrative Segment: "The great scientist, Archimedes, made his famous statement, 'Give me a place on which to stand, and I will move the earth.'"
- Visual Concept: A cinematic, almost mythological depiction of Archimedes. He is silhouetted against a vast cosmos, holding a staff (the lever) that extends beneath a floating globe.
- Image Prompt:
Cinematic wide shot, Ancient Greece setting, the philosopher Archimedes standing on a rocky cosmic cliff, holding a long wooden staff used as a lever, the staff extends under a realistic glowing planet Earth floating in space, dramatic rim lighting, classical oil painting style mixed with hyper-realism, 8k resolution, aspect ratio 16:9 --ar 16:9
Shot 2: The Mechanism
- Narrative Segment: "...he arranged a series of pulleys and cogs..."
- Visual Concept: A macro, close-up shot of complex ancient engineering. Focus on the texture of wood, bronze, and rope under tension.
- Image Prompt:
Macro close-up shot of ancient engineering, intricate interlocking wooden gears, bronze cogs, and thick heavy hemp ropes under extreme tension, sun-bleached wood textures, dust motes dancing in harsh Mediterranean sunlight, depth of field focus on the central gear mechanism, steampunk antiquity aesthetic, photorealistic --ar 16:9
Shot 3: The Impossible Feat
- Narrative Segment: "...that allowed him to pull a ship out of the Syracusan Fleet from the water onto the beach."
