Story — ROOFTOP REVEAL

INT. ROOFTOP — NIGHT

The city stretches below. ALEX scans the horizon, breath steady despite the height. Sirens echo from the streets, distant and indifferent.

ALEX

(quietly)

We only get one chance at this. One shot at getting it right.

A distant siren. Alex turns to face the camera, jaw set.

ALEX (CONT'D)

So let's make it count.

AI & Intelligence

AI that understands production context.

Copilot workspace, story AI palette, research studio, and planning AI grounded in scripts, scenes, tasks, and review notes.

Copilot — production-aware

You

Which scenes still need shot list coverage?

SC 05 and SC 07 don't have full coverage yet. SC 05 has 3 shots planned but no coverage notes. Want me to draft a shot list for either?

You

Yes — draft SC 07 from the script block.

Based on SC 07: WS establishing rooftop, MCU on Alex for the closing line, OTS reverse, cutaway to city lights. Added to Visions as a draft — review before applying.
