The easiest way to waste time is to judge clips without a rubric. If every pass gets a vague reaction, the next prompt usually becomes longer, noisier, and less focused.
A better review loop is to score each test render on three dimensions: motion clarity, frame composition, and edit compatibility. Motion clarity asks whether the eye understands what is moving. Composition asks whether the frame holds at a pause. Edit compatibility asks whether the clip can cut into a sequence without apology.
Keep the loop small
Limit each round to one or two variable changes. Swap the camera verb. Tighten the timing phrase. Remove one decorative clause. When too many things change at once, you lose the ability to tell which revision actually helped.
Keeper shots tend to emerge once the prompt is short enough to be legible and precise enough to be steerable. The review process should push in that direction every round.
