No shot is treated as final during production. Missing or unsatisfying shots can be generated at any point, including after the rest of the edit is assembled, and matched back to the established aesthetic.
The video frames generative filmmaking as fundamentally a loop, not a one-shot process: "You run it, you look at it, and then you tweak a thing or two in the prompt, and run it again. That's the whole game. Iteration is the skill." Budget for multiple failed or near-miss generations per shot, and treat each failure as a signal for what to change in the prompt rather than as a stopping point. This generate → review → adjust → regenerate loop is what makes it safe to leave shots unresolved early — the workflow expects and absorbs repeated passes.
When editing reveals a missing or additional shot the scene needs, it can be generated after the fact rather than requiring a reshoot: "Nothing is locked until you lock it." The recovery shot is produced using the same character sheet (see Three-Panel Character Sheet / NPC Character Sheet for Background Character Consistency) and prompt style established for the rest of the scene, so it matches the existing aesthetic despite being generated later and out of sequence. This is what makes the iteration loop above low-risk: a shot that isn't working can simply be deferred and regenerated once the cut clarifies what's actually needed.
