# Video Script Template

Five sections. Fill each one in, keep sentences under about twelve words, and read the result out loud before you film it. If a line is hard to say in one breath, it is too long.

## 1. HOOK (0:00-0:03)

*Stop the scroll. One sentence, eight words or fewer. A claim, a question, or a surprise.*

**Write your hook here:**



## 2. SETUP (0:03-0:10)

*Give just enough context for the viewer to care. Who this is for, and the problem you are about to solve.*

**Who it is for:**



**The problem:**



## 3. VALUE (the bulk of the video)

*Deliver what the hook promised. One to three points, each with a concrete example. This is the part people came for.*

**Point 1:**



**Example:**



**Point 2:**



**Example:**



**Point 3:**



**Example:**



## 4. PAYOFF (final 15-20%)

*Close the loop the hook opened. The result, the proof, or the thing that makes the wait worth it.*

**The result or proof:**



## 5. CALL TO ACTION (last 3-5 seconds)

*One action, not three. Naming a single next step converts better than offering a menu.*

**The one action:**



## Rules that keep it watchable

- Keep sentences under about twelve words.
- Cut every sentence that does not earn its place.
- Say it out loud before filming - written-clever reads badly on camera.
- Front-load the payoff of each point, then explain it.
- One call to action, at the end, stated plainly.
