38
+
39
+ 1. Ask: "What topic do you want to investigate? (Give me a simple description)"
40
+ 2. **PHASE 1: INTERNET RESEARCH (MANDATORY - DO THIS FIRST)**
41
+ - Use `google_web_search` to search for the topic
42
+ - **Search Queries to Run:**
43
+ 1. "{topic} news" - Get latest news
44
+ 2. "{topic} controversy" - Find conflicts
45
+ 3. "{topic} victims" - Find human stories
46
+ 4. "{topic} government response" - Find official stance
47
+ 5. "{topic} {regional_language}" - If Indian topic, search in Hindi/Telugu/Marathi
48
+ - **EXTRACT FROM SEARCH RESULTS:**
49
+ - Key players (names of people, companies, politicians)
50
+ - Key dates (when did it happen, timeline)
51
+ - Key statistics (deaths, money involved, numbers)
52
+ - Geographic location (city, state, country)
53
+ - Type of story (accident, scam, political, business, crime)
54
+ - **IDENTIFY THE 360-DEGREE VIEW:**
55
+ - Who are the VICTIMS?
56
+ - Who are the PERPETRATORS?
57
+ - Who are the AUTHORITIES?
58
+ - Who is SILENT (not being covered)?
59
+ - What is the SYSTEMIC issue?
60
+ 3. **PHASE 2: TOPIC EXPANSION**
61
+ - Parse the user's simple input (e.g., "bus accident Hyderabad highway yesterday")
62
+ - Using research from Phase 1, identify:
63
+ - **SUBJECT:** What/Who (now with actual names from research)
64
+ - **LOCATION:** Where (specific city/road from news)
65
+ - **TIME:** When (actual date from news)
66
+ - **CATEGORY:** Type (Tragedy, Scandal, Business, Politics)
67
+ - **ANGLE:** Best narrative angle based on what's unique about this story
68
+ 4. **PHASE 3: VIDEO FORMAT SELECTION**
69
+ - Ask user: "What video format?"
70
+ - [1] Investigation/Case Study (30-45 min) - Deep investigative journalism

77
+ - **Minimum video length: 15 minutes = 2000 words**
78
+ - Investigation (30 min) = 4000-4500 words
79
+ - News Explainer (15 min) = 2000-2250 words
80
+ - Podcast (60 min) = 8000-9000 words
81
+ - Documentary (45 min) = 6000-6750 words
82
+ - Video Essay (20 min) = 2600-3000 words
83
+ 5. **PHASE 4: QUESTION GENERATION (The 21-Question Engine)**
84
+ - Generate 15-25 investigative questions tailored to THIS SPECIFIC topic
85
+ - **Questions must be SPECIFIC based on Phase 1 research:**
86
+ - Not: "Who are the victims?"
87
+ - But: "What happened to the 10 passengers who survived the Hyderabad bus fire?"
88
+ - **QUESTION CATEGORIES:**
89
+ - **WHAT questions:** What exactly happened? What was the sequence of events?
90
+ - **WHO questions:** Who are the specific victims? Who is responsible? (use names from research)
91
+ - **WHY questions:** Why did this happen? Why wasn't it prevented?
92
+ - **HOW questions:** How did the system fail? How can it be fixed?
93
+ - **COMPARISON questions:** Has this happened before in this region?
94
+ - **ACCOUNTABILITY questions:** Who should be held responsible? What action was taken?
95

58
+ 3. **VISUAL ARCHITECTURE PHASE:**
59
+ - For every paragraph of narration, design a specific **Visual Shot**.
60
+ - **Pacing Rule:** Visual change every 3-7 seconds.
61
+ - **SCENE COUNT LIMITS (Based on Video Duration):**
62
+ | Duration | Scene Target | Max Scenes |
63
+ |----------|--------------|------------|
64
+ | 15 min | 25-35 | 40 |
65
+ | 20 min | 35-45 | 55 |
66
+ | 30 min | 45-60 | 75 |
67
+ | 45 min | 65-85 | 100 |
68
+ | 60 min | 80-100 | 120 |
69
+ - **WHY:** Too many scenes = impractical to produce. Each scene needs sourcing.
70
+ - **COMBINE shots** for similar content instead of creating new scenes every 5 seconds.
71
+ - **SMART SOURCING PROTOCOL:**
72
+ - **For SPECIFIC Evidence** (graphs, tweets, documents, interviews):
73
+ - Use `google_web_search` to find the EXACT URLs
74
+ - Tag as: `[Source: URL]`
75
+ - **For GENERIC B-Roll** (city skylines, hands typing, crowds):
76
+ - Do NOT waste time searching - these are easily available
77
+ - Tag as: `[MANUAL]` - Human will source from stock libraries
78
+ - **For STOCK FOOTAGE** (professional cinematography, aerial shots):
79
+ - Tag as: `[STOCK-MANUAL]` - Scavenger will check free sources first
80
+ - Pexels/Pixabay/Unsplash have free alternatives
81
+
82
+ - **For NEWS ARTICLE SCREENSHOTS (INTELLIGENT CAPTURE):**
83
+ - **DO NOT use hardcoded phrases like "PM Modi said"**
84
+ - **INTELLIGENTLY identify** what's important based on the TOPIC:
85
+
86
+ **Step 1: Understand the Topic Context**
87
+ - Read the narrative_script.md and truth_dossier.md
88
+ - Identify: What is this video about?
89
+ - Bus accident? → Capture: casualty numbers, rescue details, victim stories
90
+ - Money laundering? → Capture: ED raid details, amounts, accused names
91
+ - Electoral bonds? → Capture: donation amounts, company names, quid pro quo evidence
92
+ - Politician scandal? → Capture: allegations, responses, court proceedings
93
+
94
+ **Step 2: Identify KEY INFORMATION from the Article**
95
+ - For each news article URL, ask yourself:
96
+ - What is the MOST IMPORTANT paragraph for the viewer?
97
+ - What PROVES the point we're making in the script?
98
+ - What would make the viewer say "wow, this is real evidence"?
99
+
100
+ **Examples by Topic:**
101
+ | Topic | What to Capture |
102
+ |-------|-----------------|
103
+ | Bus Accident | "10 passengers died", "driver was unlicensed", "no fire safety" |
104
+ | Money Laundering | "₹500 crore seized", "ED arrested CFO", "shell company network" |
105
+ | Electoral Bonds | "donated ₹100 crore after raid", "company got contract worth ₹2000 crore" |
106
+ | Law & Order | "court said", "FIR registered", "police investigation found" |
107
+ | Victim Story | Names, ages, what happened to them, their quotes |
108
+
109
+ **Step 3: Use article_screenshotter.py with the RELEVANT text:**
110
+ ```
111
+ python {video_nut_root}/tools/downloaders/article_screenshotter.py --url "{ARTICLE_URL}" --quote "{RELEVANT_TEXT_FROM_ARTICLE}" --output "{output}/quote.png"
112
+ ```
113
+ - The tool will find that text on the page and highlight it in yellow
114
+ - **The quote parameter should be the MOST IMPORTANT line from that article for your video**
115
+
116
+ **Step 4: Tag in manifest:**
117
+ - Tag as: `[Source: ARTICLE_URL] [Screenshot-Quote: "{relevant text}"]`
118
+
119
+ - **For YouTube Video Clips (CRITICAL - Use Tools):**
120
+ - **Step 1:** Search for relevant videos:
121
+ ```
122
+ python {video_nut_root}/tools/downloaders/youtube_search.py --query "{topic} interview" --max 5
123
+ ```
124
+ - **Step 2:** Verify content by checking transcript:
125
+ ```
126
+ python {video_nut_root}/tools/downloaders/caption_reader.py --url "{YOUTUBE_URL}" --search "{key quote}"
127
+ ```
128
+ - **Step 3:** Get exact clip timestamps:
129
+ ```
130
+ python {video_nut_root}/tools/downloaders/caption_reader.py --url "{YOUTUBE_URL}" --find-quote "{quote}" --json
131
+ ```
132
+ - Tag as: `[Source: YOUTUBE_URL] [Clip: 05:23-06:10]`
133
+ - **ALWAYS include timestamp range for video clips!**
134
+ - **Content Verification:** Ensure that the visual content matches the narrative requirements.
135
+ 4. **TIMING ANNOTATIONS:**
136
+ - Add estimated duration for each visual shot:
137
+ - `[0:00 - 0:05]` Scene 1 - Hook visual
138
+ - `[0:05 - 0:12]` Scene 2 - Context visual
139
+ - This helps the human editor sync visuals with voice_script.md
140
+ 5. **SAVE TWO FILES:**
141
+ - **`{output_folder}/master_script.md`** - Combined Narration + Visual Directions (reference document)
142
+ - Format: `[NARRATION: "..."] [VISUAL: Description. [Source: URL or MANUAL]]`
143
+ - **`{output_folder}/video_direction.md`** - VISUALS ONLY (for video editing)
144
+ - Format:
145
+ ```
146
+ ## Scene 1: Hook [0:00 - 0:05]
147
+ **Visual:** Cracker explosion at night wedding
148
+ **Source:** [MANUAL] - Stock footage
149
+ **Mood:** Opulent, excessive, wasteful
150
+ ---
151
+ ## Scene 2: Contrast [0:05 - 0:12]
152
+ **Visual:** Poverty in same constituency
153
+ **Source:** https://example.com/poverty-image
154
+ **Mood:** Stark, sad, human struggle
155
+ ```
156
+ - **NO NARRATION in video_direction.md** - Only timing, visuals, sources, and mood.
