The Video Script Prompt

Builds structured scripts for short-form and long-form video content.

📋 THE PROMPT:

Create a video script for [VIDEO TOPIC].

Video details:

  • Platform: [YOUTUBE/TIKTOK/INSTAGRAM/LINKEDIN]

  • Length: [30 SEC/1 MIN/5 MIN/10+ MIN]

  • Goal: [EDUCATE/ENTERTAIN/CONVERT/BUILD AWARENESS]

  • Target audience: [WHO'S WATCHING]

  • Your style: [ENERGETIC/CALM/PROFESSIONAL/FUNNY]

Generate a complete script with:

Hook (First 3 seconds)

  • Pattern interrupt

  • Bold claim or question

  • Create curiosity

  • Make them stop scrolling

  • Example: "I spent $10,000 testing this so you don't have to..."

Introduction (5-10 seconds)

  • Who you are (if they don't know)

  • What this video is about

  • Why they should watch

  • Promise specific value

Main Content

Structure for short videos (under 1 min):

  • Make 1 point

  • Support with example

  • Show, don't just tell

  • End with takeaway

Structure for long videos (5+ min):

  • 3-5 main points

  • Story or example for each

  • Visual aids (what to show)

  • Smooth transitions between points

  • Break it up (keep attention)

Content Tips

  • Front-load value (give away the secret)

  • Cut fluff (every word earns its place)

  • Use pattern changes (cuts, zooms, text)

  • Address objections

  • Include mini-hooks throughout

Call to Action

  • What you want them to do

  • Why they should do it

  • Make it specific

  • Easy to remember

Outro

  • Quick recap

  • Where to find you

  • Tease next video

  • Don't overstay welcome

On-Screen Elements

  • Text overlays (what to emphasize)

  • B-roll suggestions (what to show)

  • Graphics needed

  • Captions (for sound-off viewing)

Tone Notes

  • Energy level

  • Pacing

  • When to pause

  • Emphasis points

🎯 HOW TO USE IT:

  1. Define your video goal

  2. Generate the script structure

  3. Adjust for your speaking style

  4. Film with teleprompter or bullet points

  5. Edit ruthlessly (cut anything boring)

💡 PRO TIP: Write your hook AFTER you write the rest of the script. Once you know what value you deliver, you can promise it accurately in the first 3 seconds.
