Build the video around attention and clarity.
Start with the platform, goal, audience and duration. The prompt then turns your idea into a scene-by-scene structure rather than giving you only a block of dialogue.
Act as an experienced short-form video strategist, scriptwriter and content director. TASK: Create a short-form video script designed to hold attention quickly and communicate the main idea clearly. PLATFORM: [Example: Facebook Reels, Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts.] VIDEO GOAL: [What should the video achieve?] TOPIC: [What is the video about?] TARGET AUDIENCE: [Who should this video speak to?] VIDEO LENGTH: [Example: 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 45 seconds, 60 seconds.] CONTENT STYLE: [Example: educational, entertaining, promotional, storytelling, tutorial, problem-solution, list-based.] PRESENTATION STYLE: [Example: talking head, voice-over, hands-only, product demo, screen recording, mixed visuals.] TONE: [Example: conversational, professional, energetic, warm, persuasive, informative.] KEY MESSAGE: [What is the single most important idea viewers should remember?] KEY POINTS: [List the main points that must be included.] CALL TO ACTION: [What should the viewer do next?] LANGUAGE: [Specify the language.] VISUAL REQUIREMENTS: [Describe any important products, locations, shots, demonstrations, text or visual details.] BRAND / CREATOR REQUIREMENTS: [Add any brand voice, style or identity requirements.] WORDS / CLAIMS TO AVOID: [List anything that should not be said.] SCRIPT REQUIREMENTS: 1. HOOK - Start immediately with a strong reason to keep watching. - Avoid long introductions or greetings unless specifically requested. - Make the hook relevant to the actual content. - Do not use misleading clickbait. 2. PACING - Keep the amount of spoken content realistic for the requested duration. - Remove unnecessary filler. - Use short, natural sentences where appropriate. 3. STRUCTURE Build the video around: - Hook - Main value / story / explanation - Proof, example or demonstration if relevant - Clear ending - Call to action 4. SPOKEN SCRIPT - Write natural language that sounds comfortable when spoken aloud. - Avoid stiff article-style writing. - Match the requested audience and tone. 5. SCENE BREAKDOWN Divide the video into logical scenes or beats. For each scene include: - Approximate timing - Visual - Spoken line / voice-over - On-screen text if useful 6. VISUAL DIRECTION - Make visuals directly support what is being said. - Avoid generic footage when a more specific demonstration would communicate the idea better. - Keep scene changes realistic for the requested duration. 7. ON-SCREEN TEXT - Keep text short and mobile-friendly. - Do not simply repeat every spoken sentence. - Highlight only the most useful words, numbers or key points. 8. RETENTION Where appropriate, use: - unanswered question - quick contrast - visual change - demonstration - progression - result reveal to maintain interest without creating artificial clickbait. 9. CALL TO ACTION - Keep the CTA appropriate to the goal. - Do not overload the ending with multiple unrelated actions. 10. ACCURACY - Do not invent facts, statistics, testimonials or product claims. - Clearly preserve any figures or details provided. OUTPUT FORMAT: 1. Video Concept 2. Hook 3. Scene-by-Scene Script For each scene use: Scene: Timing: Visual: Spoken Script / Voice-Over: On-Screen Text: 4. Full Spoken Script 5. CTA 6. Editing & Pacing Notes 7. Optional Caption 8. Optional Thumbnail / Cover Text IMPORTANT: The final script must fit naturally within the requested video length. Prioritize clarity, retention and natural spoken language over trying to include too much information.
Use the prompt effectively.
Choose one clear goal
Decide whether the video should teach, promote, entertain, explain or drive an action. Trying to do everything in one short clip usually weakens it.
Give it one main message
Short-form content works better when viewers can understand the core takeaway quickly.
Match the script to the duration
A 15-second Reel needs a much tighter script than a 60-second educational Short.
Plan visuals with the dialogue
Strong short-form videos use visual changes, demonstrations and supporting shots instead of relying only on spoken words.
From topic to a 30-second Reel.
Platform: LinkedIn and Instagram Reels.
Goal: Educate warehouse professionals.
Topic: What to check when physical stock does not match the system.
Audience: Warehouse supervisors and inventory staff.
Length: 30 seconds.
Style: Educational problem-solution.
Presentation: Voice-over with warehouse visuals.
CTA: Save the video for the next stock discrepancy.
Hook: Physical stock doesn't match the system? Don't adjust it immediately.
Scene 1 — 0–4 sec: Show system quantity beside a physical count. Voice-over explains the discrepancy.
Scene 2 — 4–18 sec: Quickly check receiving, picking, transfers, returns and nearby locations.
Scene 3 — 18–25 sec: Review the transaction history and identify when the difference first appeared.
Scene 4 — 25–30 sec: Explain that the adjustment should come after the cause is understood, then finish with the save CTA.
Make short videos work harder.
Write for speech, not reading
Read the finished script aloud. If a sentence feels difficult to say naturally, shorten or simplify it.
Use visuals to carry information
Not every detail needs to be spoken. A label, demonstration or close-up can communicate information faster.
Make the first seconds useful
The opening should immediately tell the viewer why the video matters instead of spending valuable time introducing the creator.
