Copyable shoot-day plan

FocusFlow capture list

7 planned files · 14 recommended on-set takes

Capture separate source clips that help indie app founders who rebuild every short-form ad from scratch recognize good footage gets lost and every new ad starts with an empty timeline, then show how FocusFlow handles pair one saved UGC opening with a clean product demo.

HOOK-01 · creator

Opening option 1

3–8 seconds

Frame: Vertical chest-up frame, steady eyeline, and clean room around the face for later text.
Capture: Make the before-moment recognizable: good footage gets lost and every new ad starts with an empty timeline.
Audio: Say one natural thought in your own words. Do not memorize a long script or add proof that was not supplied.
Why it matters: Create a standalone UGC opening that can be tested before the same product demo.
Clean handoff: Leave a clean beat at both ends. Deliver this opening as its own file with no app screen, music, captions, watermark, or transition baked in.

HOOK-02 · b-roll

Opening option 2

2–5 seconds

Frame: Vertical medium or close detail shot with the important action near the center.
Capture: Capture a second opening through one concrete detail from this moment: good footage gets lost and every new ad starts with an empty timeline.
Audio: No spoken claim. Let one expression or physical action carry the opening so text can be added later.
Why it matters: Create a standalone UGC opening that can be tested before the same product demo.
Clean handoff: Leave a clean beat at both ends. Deliver this opening as its own file with no app screen, music, captions, watermark, or transition baked in.

HOOK-03 · creator

Opening option 3

3–8 seconds

Frame: Vertical chest-up frame, steady eyeline, and clean room around the face for later text.
Capture: Contrast the before-moment with the desired after-state: publish more useful ads from footage already captured.
Audio: Say one natural thought in your own words. Do not memorize a long script or add proof that was not supplied.
Why it matters: Create a standalone UGC opening that can be tested before the same product demo.
Clean handoff: Leave a clean beat at both ends. Deliver this opening as its own file with no app screen, music, captions, watermark, or transition baked in.

DEMO-01 · screen-demo

Clean product demo

5–12 seconds

Frame: Record the app at its clearest native orientation and keep the important labels readable on a phone.
Capture: Start on a clean before-state, complete this one action without detours, then hold the visible result: pair one saved UGC opening with a clean product demo.
Audio: Record clean system sound only if it matters. Do not add music or creator narration to the screen recording.
Why it matters: Show the product action and its visible result with no competing side path.
Clean handoff: Deliver the FocusFlow demo as its own uninterrupted file so it can follow different UGC openings.

CTA-01 · creator

Call to action

2–5 seconds

Frame: Match the main creator framing and hold eye contact through the final word.
Capture: Invite this honest next step: See how FocusFlow turns saved footage into the next ad.
Audio: Record the approved call to action exactly enough to preserve its meaning. Do not add fake urgency.
Why it matters: Keep the next step reusable instead of locking it into every opening.
Clean handoff: Deliver the CTA separately so it can be kept, replaced, or omitted during production.

Why separate files matter

Capture reusable pieces, not one locked edit.

A clean opening, context clip, demo, outcome, and CTA can each do more than one job. The list keeps those pieces separate so the paid production workflow can test and reuse them later.

Common questions

Shot list generator FAQ

How is this different from the UGC brief builder?

The brief builder explains the overall creator assignment. This tool turns one concept into individually numbered files with framing, action, audio, timing, purpose, and handoff directions for shoot day.

Does the tool write a finished app-ad script?

No. It gives capture directions and leaves room for natural creator language. It does not write a full script, record media, or assemble a finished ad.

Will it invent proof for my app?

No. A proof shot appears only when you supply approved proof, and the direction says not to strengthen it. Otherwise the plan tells the shoot not to improvise a claim.

What stays inside paid ClipStitchr?

ClipStitchr stores and organizes source footage, normalizes videos, pairs UGC with demos, produces batches, saves projects, and exports finished ads. This free tool only plans what to capture.
