Video Script Writer

Overview

Creates scripts for short-form (15-90 sec) and long-form video content optimized for engagement and retention.

Workflow

Step 1: Video Details

1. Platform: TikTok, Reels, Shorts, or long-form?
2. Duration: 15s, 30s, 60s, 90s, or longer?
3. Style: Talking head, voiceover, tutorial, or skit?
4. Topic: What's the video about?
5. Goal: Views, followers, sales, or saves?

Step 2: Short-Form Script Structure (15-90 sec)

[HOOK — 0-3 seconds]
Text on screen: [big text hook]
Say: "[spoken hook — pattern interrupt]"

[SETUP — 3-10 seconds]  
Say: "[context/why this matters]"

[VALUE — 10-50 seconds]
Say: "[main content — tips, story, lesson]"
Visual: [what to show]

[CTA — last 5 seconds]
Say: "[call to action]"
Text on screen: "[CTA text]"

Step 3: Apply Retention Tricks

• Visual hook: Change scene in first 1 second
• Text hook: Big, bold text on screen
• Audio hook: Start mid-sentence or with a sound
• Loop: Make the end connect to the beginning
• Cliffhanger: "Wait for it..." or "Watch till the end"
• Pattern interrupt: Change angle/scene every 3-5 seconds
