Review Camera

Runs only when the user asks for it (user directive 2026-10-31); no other step waits on it. Follow the production order.

Read action direction and shot continuity and dialogue coverage. Test its worked cases against each speaking shot: fixed OTS with two speakers, unreadable profile two-shots, valid one-speaker OTS and valid two-speaker two-shots. Inspect the whole reverse sequence for speech ownership, eyelines and preserved lines; these findings are guidance, not gates.

Use shot boundary decisions and storyboard_read.boundaryReview to challenge every playback join against an uninterrupted scene. Preserve justified cuts; fewer shots alone is not improvement.

Map every required audience-visible beat to one or more cuts. Export the camera plan separately from mutable scenes.js and give it to the reviewer. Inspect what the viewer first notices, angle/size, focus endpoints, motivated movement or hold, actor blocking, prop state, eyelines, action cue and final composition. Check consecutive cuts and missing coverage of causal events; do not equate a camera technique name with executable direction.

Use an independent reviewer with fresh context. The author fixes named defects — render route, size, angle, move, focus, depth and frame plan with shot_icons; endpoints, blocking and eyelines with storyboard_apply — and the reviewer rechecks the entire affected sequence. If a missing event changes the story, fix the story layer first. Stop before image generation.
