Spot what is likely to fail: too much action, too much dialogue, too many moving parts.

E

Evaluate action & dialogue load

Make sure the clip length can realistically hold what you are asking for.

C

Control what needs reinforcement

State the visual priorities, camera direction, and non-negotiables clearly.

Test for production readiness

Run a final credit-protection check before pressing Generate.

You are not asking AI to figure out your idea. You are directing it with clarity.
