Your prompt

Act as a director of photography. Create a shot list for this script. Script: INT. KITCHEN - MORNING. Maya pours coffee, checks her phone and smiles. EXT. PARK - MORNING. She jogs past the camera. Production constraints: one-person crew, one day, no budget for lighting. Format: vertical 9:16 for social. For every shot give: shot ID, scene, shot size (wide, medium, close-up, etc.), camera movement (static, push-in, pan, slider, handheld, etc.), suggested lens look in plain terms, subject and action, location and time of day, equipment needed, and estimated setup time. Rules: keep movement simple and achievable with the equipment I listed; group shots by location to save time; add a "must-have vs nice-to-have" tag; flag shots that need permits, releases or special safety care. Do not invent script content or locations that I did not mention.
