SHORT 16 | PRODUCTION PACKAGE
Photolytic Decomposition: Why Silver Chloride Turns Grey | Video Instructions + AI Prompts
Format 9:16 vertical • 1080 × 1920 • faceless animated Short • 46 seconds • six scenes
Visual identity Premium deep navy #102D4B, cyan #17A8CD, sunshine yellow #FFC74C, white; clean fast motion, crisp legible 9:16 typography.
Audience CBSE Class 10 (NCERT), Chapter 1: Chemical Reactions and Equations; quick Hinglish conceptual revision.
Learning objective Define photolytic decomposition; show sunlight-driven AgCl breakdown, grey silver formation, and balanced equation.
Scientific master overlay
2AgCl(s) —sunlight→ 2Ag(s) + Cl₂(g)
AgCl is initially white; exposure to light produces grey metallic silver. Chlorine is a hazardous gas; portray it only as a closed-system schematic. Photolytic decomposition is caused by light, not heat or electricity.

Exact on-screen text Energy source? HEAT / ELECTRICITY / SUNLIGHT
AI animation prompt Animated multiple-choice quiz in 9:16 vertical, three clear pictorial buttons fire bolt sun, suspense pause then sun icon glows and check appears, uncluttered classroom premium visual style, text to be added in editor.
Voice sync Quick quiz! Yeh decomposition heat se hota hai, electricity se, ya light se? Correct: sunlight!
Sound / editing Paced science UI transitions; subtle light swoosh / fizz, never overwhelm narration. 2–3 key words highlighted and burned-in captions within mobile-safe zones.
S06 | 00:39–00:46 | RECAP + SAFETY
Visual & direction One-screen synthesis of light → AgCl → Ag+Cl2, historical photographic film icon; safety bar and next-topic tease.
Exact on-screen text PHOTOLYTIC = Decomposition by light
AI animation prompt Premium clean 9:16 infographic: sunlight icon activates simplified AgCl diagram, grey silver product and enclosed chlorine pictogram, subtle vintage photographic film icon, strong visual hierarchy, color palette navy cyan yellow, fade to next Short teaser, no generated labels.
Voice sync Exam tip: light se breakdown matlab photolytic decomposition. Chlorine gas hazardous hai—experiment sirf supervised lab mein!

Critical editor & scientific QA
• Typeset all chemical formulae manually in editor—do NOT trust AI image text; ensure subscripts AgCl, Cl₂ and coefficient 2 are exact.
• Atom conservation: 2 Ag and 2 Cl on both sides; AgCl is solid; Ag is solid; Cl₂ is gas.
• Do not depict chlorine gas freely escaping toward children, exposed handling, or encourage at-home demonstrations.
• Allow 8–10% mobile safe margins; captions comfortably above Shorts playback controls; no branded watermarks unless owned.
• Deliver a 1080 × 1920 H.264 MP4 at 30 fps with clear voice and optional synchronized subtitles.
