Flux ArtDefine which visual actions this review should communicate
Arrange the storyboard candidates created with Flux Art in story order, then state what viewers should learn from the images in this round: a character searches for keys, recognizes the target and takes it, or discovers a door will not open and turns back. This checks visible actions and information continuity; it does not require every film to remain fully understandable with sound off. Dialogue, offscreen sound and music can carry narrative information. Record their necessary roles in a sound column first, so passing a silent review does not undermine an approved creative approach. Attractive images and clear reasons for action are different things; this round does not evaluate the finished film's visual quality.
Prepare a review copy with shot numbers and planned durations
Retain the complete script, narration and original storyboard. In a separate working copy, temporarily disable explanatory audio and temporary captions that explain the plot. Do not delete original files or also hide necessary object labels, road signs or text a character is reading within the scene. Keep an internal number and planned hold time for each shot; the number need not appear in the public-facing image. Existing editing tools or slide playback can organize the still frames. This is an external review method, not a Flux Art feature that automatically builds timelines, detects plot gaps or judges audience comprehension for you.
Watch continuously once, then identify where the action became unclear
On the first pass, watch continuously at the planned durations without explaining each frame beforehand. On the second pass, return to uncertain points and record the shot number, what happened and which information was not visible. Instead of writing 'unclear,' write: at the cut from S03 to S04, the character has not been shown noticing the keys, yet is already leaving with them in the next shot. People familiar with the script may fill gaps automatically. A colleague authorized to view the project can independently recount the actions they saw, but one internal opinion must not be presented as a formal audience test. If no other reviewer is available, explicitly record a self-check and leave comprehension pending confirmation; do not invent pass rates or sample sizes.
| Observed issue | Evidence to check first | Response |
|---|---|---|
| The character already holds an object in the next shot | Whether noticing and picking it up must be shown | Add visible action or adjust the existing order |
| The character suddenly turns around | Whether a planned offscreen sound triggers the turn | Record the sound's role and review again with sound |
| A key object appears but goes unnoticed | Image scale, eyelines and hold time | First check whether existing information is readable |
| An answer is deliberately withheld | The suspense design in the approved script | Preserve the unknown; do not reveal it without approval |
| Information disappears when explanatory captions are disabled | Whether captions are temporary explanations or required in the final film | Distinguish visual additions from text's role |
| An additional shot changes the sequence's rhythm | The revised shot order and duration table | Replay adjacent shots and the full sequence |
Separate gaps in action, objects and intent
An action gap lacks a readable change between the starting point and the result. An object gap leaves unclear what the character is looking at, taking or avoiding. An intent gap lacks evidence for why the character changes course. Describe the gap before choosing a response; do not add a character close-up whenever a question arises. Existing information may simply appear too briefly, be hard to notice or be in the wrong shot order. Alternatively, a line of dialogue may be intended to provide it. Label missing visual information, information carried by sound and intentional unknowns separately rather than using the same additional shot to address three different problems.
Practice with a hypothetical search for keys
Suppose three boards show a character entering a room, a close-up of keys on a table, then the character leaving with their back to the camera. This is a hypothetical example, not a completed test. If viewers are meant to understand that the character found and took the keys, these images may establish only that the keys exist, not that the character noticed them, picked them up or carried them away. First check whether the script actually requires this information to be visible. Then try adjusting eyeline relationships, adding a pickup action or reordering existing shots. If the director wants viewers temporarily not to know who took the keys, omitting the pickup may be intentional suspense; do not reveal the answer without approval.
Specify only the visible information an additional shot must provide
An additional-shot task could read: between S03 and S04, the character's contact with the keys is missing; provide a candidate that clearly shows the relationship between the hand, keys and table while retaining the current costume and prop versions. Choose filming or generation methods according to actual production conditions; do not promise that a particular prompt will necessarily reproduce the action. Once a candidate is available, first check whether it communicates the missing information, then check clothing, props, positions and eyelines against adjacent shots. If the change concerns camera direction, also consult Related workflow . Do not combine axis problems and insufficient story information into one issue.
When sound carries essential information, review again with sound
Some turns are intentionally triggered by an offscreen knock; a line of dialogue may deliberately supply a clue before the image reveals it. Such passages should not fail simply because their reason is absent in the silent version. Record the sound content, its timing and the visual reaction on the checklist, then restore sound and check whether the connection is clear. A silent review also does not replace caption, text-legibility or accessibility reviews. If the actual publication placement requires key information to be understandable when muted, revise the approach against that delivery requirement; do not infer that every channel and film follows the same mandatory rule.
After revision, replay adjacent shots and the whole sequence
Adding a shot can delay a later reveal, while extending a hold can change the intended rhythm. When updating the shot list, also record the version, duration, reason for selection and approver. Watch from the preceding shot through the following shot, then replay the entire sequence. Do not stop after checking that the added image works on its own. If the action's clarity remains uncertain, retain an unresolved status and the specific question. Unapproved candidates must not enter the delivery sequence. Keep the sound version and silent review copy separately so the next person can distinguish resolved questions, information dependent on sound and deliberately unanswered questions.
Deliver traceable storyboards, not a target number of shots
The final handoff includes the approved script, shot order and duration table, selected asset versions, information carried by sound, additional-shot results and unresolved issues.
