Plan four shots as a story
The easiest structure is classic β change β twist β finish.
| Shot | Role | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Classic: everyone faces the camera | Big smile |
| 2 | Change: new distance or direction | Look at each other, turn to the side |
| 3 | Twist: the funny one | Surprised face, one person pulls a different face |
| 4 | Finish: anything goes | Finger hearts, free pose |
For two shots use "classic + twist"; for six or more, add more "change" shots in the middle.
