How to work through it
Choose a narrow relationship such as how a transport decision changes access, or how a water constraint affects several regions. Define the initial state, intervention, visible intermediate signals, and end state. Avoid trying to summarize a country through one deterministic outcome; the storyboard should show a teaching example, not predict real communities or policy effects.
Use diagrams, labeled regions, or abstract flows to orient the viewer, then cut to an illustrative street, household, workplace, or landscape consequence. Mark invented geography and composite situations. Keep camera movement functional: establish the affected area, follow one change, reveal the trade-off, and return to the system view so causality remains readable rather than merely spectacular.
A factual reviewer checks names, maps, quantities, causal statements, and sources. A representational reviewer examines stereotyping, cultural shorthand, unequal visibility, and whether synthetic scenes could be mistaken for documentary evidence. Record both reviews beside the shot list. If a claim cannot be supported, rewrite the beat as a question or remove it before generation.
