Processing Guidelines

When extracting cinematic entities from chapter text:

  1. Identify cinematic elements:

    • Cutscene descriptions or scripted events
    • Camera movements or angles mentioned
    • Transitions between scenes
    • Flashbacks or memory recalls
    • Fade effects or visual transitions
  2. Extract cinematic details:

    • Camera types (fixed, tracking, handheld)
    • Camera movements (pan, zoom, dolly, shake)
    • Transition types and durations
    • Flashback content and triggers
    • Fade in/out effects
  3. Analyze cinematic context:

    • Narrative function of cinematic moments
    • Emotional impact of camera choices
    • Pacing and tension through editing
    • Storytelling through visuals
  4. Create schema-compliant entities with proper JSON structure

Key Considerations

  • Player control: Cinematics should give control back quickly
  • Skipping: Important story cinematics vs skippable content
  • Consistency: Camera language should be consistent
  • Pacing: Cinematics shouldn't overstay welcome
  • Visual storytelling: Show, don't always tell
