Beginner instructions
You can describe the setup in plain words. If you don’t know exact camera angles, say where the reader stands compared with your phone or camera. Mark each focus change in scene order.
Advanced instructions
You can include character height, distance, seated or standing positions, lens height, emotional avoidance, and deliberate direct address. Use those details only when they support the scene and keep your face readable.
Use this when
Use this before recording a scene with multiple characters, changing focus points, direct address, or framing that limits where you can look.
You'll need
- Scene and action
- Characters and relationships
- Camera position
- Required framing
- Reader position
- Focus changes
You'll get
- One labeled eyeline for every character, a clear shift for every focus change, a separate direct-to-camera note when needed, and a quick consistency check you can use before recording.
