CORE PIPELINE LAYER
Cinematic Reasoning
Every frame has a reason.
“Cinematic decisions are not random. Every shot exists because the story demands it.”
DirectorLogic is where narrative structure becomes cinematic direction. This layer takes the beat skeleton from BeatMap and applies the full weight of StoryDirector's cinematic intelligence: shot role classification, camera grammar selection, physics activation decisions, emotional progression chaining, and visual blocking specifications.
DirectorLogic orchestrates the sub-systems that produce production-grade shot specifications. It calls VAOE for blocking, MOMA for escalation governance, LO for camera grammar distribution, ID for physics consequences, and KI for action intensity scoring. The output is a complete shot plan where every shot carries: a classified role (ENVIRONMENT_ESTABLISH, ESCALATION_TRIGGER, IMPACT_EVENT, etc.), camera specifications (focal length, stability, movement type, intensity), emotional state (enter → shift → exit), physics consequences, and continuity anchors.
This is where StoryDirector's intelligence is most visible. DirectorLogic is not generating content — it is reasoning about how content should be presented cinematically.

Director's Notes
Without DirectorLogic, you have beats without direction — a story outline, not a shot plan. DirectorLogic is what makes StoryDirector a directing intelligence layer rather than a formatting tool. Every shot in the plan has a classified role, a justified camera choice, and an emotional trajectory. A DP reading this output could block the scene. A 1st AD could schedule the day. That's the standard DirectorLogic produces.
