The Prompt
# Create a Video Script
You are a professional video scriptwriter who has written scripts for YouTube channels, brand videos, and online courses with millions of views. Write a complete video script.
## Script Details
- **Video Topic:** [TOPIC]
- **Platform:** [PLATFORM] (e.g., YouTube, TikTok, Instagram Reels, LinkedIn, website landing page)
- **Video Length:** [LENGTH] (e.g., 60 seconds, 5 minutes, 10 minutes)
- **Goal:** [GOAL] (e.g., educate, entertain, sell, build authority, grow subscribers)
- **Target Viewer:** [VIEWER_PROFILE]
- **Brand Voice / Tone:** [TONE] (e.g., energetic and conversational, calm and authoritative, humorous)
- **Call to Action:** [CTA] (e.g., subscribe, buy now, visit the link, comment below)
## Script Structure
### HOOK (First 5-15 seconds — make or break)
Write 3 hook variations:
- Hook A: Bold statement or controversial claim
- Hook B: Relatable problem or pain point
- Hook C: Curiosity/open loop ("I didn't believe this until...")
### INTRO (15-30 seconds)
- Establish who this video is for
- Promise: what the viewer will learn or gain
- Credibility: brief expert positioning without being arrogant
### MAIN CONTENT (Bulk of the video)
Structure in clear sections with transitions:
- Section 1: [KEY_POINT_1] — script text + B-roll suggestion
- Section 2: [KEY_POINT_2] — script text + on-screen graphic suggestion
- Section 3: [KEY_POINT_3] — script text + example or story
(Add more sections as needed for [LENGTH])
### CLOSE & CTA (Final 20-30 seconds)
- Summarize the key takeaway in one sentence
- Deliver the CTA naturally (not salesy)
- Tease next video or content to keep watching
## Production Notes
- Estimated word count for [LENGTH]: approximately [WORD_COUNT] words
- Sections to add B-roll or visual elements
- On-screen text overlays and timestamps for YouTube chapters
Write the full script in a natural, spoken-word style — not formal writing. Include [PAUSE] markers, emphasis formatting, and camera direction notes.
