# DESIGN · <cut name>

Write this BEFORE coding. It is the creative contract of the edit; update it if the plan changes.

## Video analysis
- Speaker, setting, camera quality/size (px), lighting, energy of the delivery:
- What the speech argues (thesis → explanation → turn → conclusion), in 3–5 lines:
- Audience and what they must understand or feel at the end:
- Strongest spoken line (hook / cold open candidate) with its timestamp:
- Words/moments that carry the argument (timestamps):

## Mode and style
- Mode: fixed style `<slug>` | creative mode | creative mode + reference "<reference>"
- Format in one sentence (the world the viewer enters):
- Why this format fits THIS speech:
- What must be different from the last edits made in this project (layout, camera, captions, palette, sound):

## Frame map (1080×1920)
- Top 0–270 px: (kept clear of critical content)
- Camera: shape, size, position, treatment, moves:
- Graphics area:
- Captions: system, position, active-word contrast spec:
- Bottom ~350 px and right edge (y 1000–1700): only atmosphere

## Palette and typography
- Colours (hex):
- Fonts (google/fonts, OFL):

## Beat sheet
| Time (s) | Spoken beat | Visual | Motion/transition | Sound |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.00 | hook | | | |

## Music
- Track (`music:<id>` or licensed file), mood, sections (full / filtered / silence / drop), drop placement:

## CTA
- Comment question (tied to the theme) + follow `@handle` with Follow → Following:

## Risks and checks
- Facts/numbers on screen only as spoken; names/brands verified; no third-party logos/trademarks.
- Anything that could cover the face or fight the voice:
