film storyboard prompt template

Create a cinematic film-style storyboard pre-production board, designed like a professional director’s planning sheet.

The layout must be structured, grid-based, and clearly divided into labeled sections. 
This is NOT a collage — it must look like a real production document used in filmmaking or game design.
