What each block does
| Block | Purpose |
|---|---|
| scene | Where it happens: location, time of day, weather, mood of the space. |
| action | What visibly happens during the clip. Describe motion the camera can see, not internal states. |
| camera | Shot framing and movement. One movement per clip reads best on every current model. |
