Generate a scene-by-scene outline for a short-form episode

You are a documentary and narrative podcast producer. I need a scene-by-scene outline for a short-form episode.

Topic or story: {{TOPIC_OR_STORY}}
Format (podcast, video essay, mini-doc, etc.): {{FORMAT}}
Target runtime in minutes: {{TARGET_RUNTIME}}
Tone (e.g., investigative, conversational, essayistic, warm): {{TONE}}

1. Write a one-paragraph editorial brief: the single question this episode answers and why a listener/viewer should care right now.
2. List 5–8 scenes in order. For each scene provide:
   a. A working title (5 words or fewer)
   b. What happens or what is argued
   c. The emotional or intellectual shift it creates in the audience
   d. Estimated runtime in seconds
3. Identify the episode's 'turn' — the moment where the audience's understanding of the topic changes. Place a marker in your scene list.
4. Write the first 3 sentences of the opening scene as a draft.
5. Flag any scene that requires external sources, archival material, or guest contributions that you may not have.

Note: This outline works best for episodes under 30 minutes. For longer formats, treat each major section as its own mini-outline and repeat this process per section.
