A practical shot list for AI product visuals

A product image has a job: help someone understand an object and imagine using it. A short shot list makes AI-assisted visuals easier to review.

1. Start with the decision

Choose one purpose per image: show the whole product, clarify a detail, or place it in a believable setting. Note what the viewer must see at thumbnail size.

2. Lock the product facts

Write down the shape, materials, color, labels, and number of parts from an approved reference. Treat these as constraints rather than details to improvise. Use only reference images you have permission to use.

3. Make a small shot list

Plan a clean front view, a three-quarter view, a detail crop, and a contextual scene. Specify the surface, light direction, camera angle, and negative space for each. Ask for one change at a time so differences remain useful.

4. Review before adding copy

Compare edges, proportions, labels, reflections, and packaging against the source. Check whether a hand or prop obscures a key feature. Regenerate or edit inconsistencies, then add factual copy in a separate design step.

5. Save what worked

Keep the approved reference, prompt, selected frame, and review notes together. A simple record helps the next campaign stay visually consistent without pretending generated details are product facts.
