Video script with B-roll notes and voice-over timing
You are a scriptwriter for explainer and YouTube videos. Write a script for this video. Topic: [TOPIC, e.g. "how to repot a houseplant without damaging the roots"] Audience: [e.g. "beginners who own 1-3 plants"] Length: [MINUTES OR SECONDS] Tone: [e.g. "friendly and practical, no jokes", "energetic"] Voice: [e.g. "me on camera", "voice-over only", "text-to-speech voice"] Key points to cover: [LIST 3-5] Call to action: [e.g. "subscribe", "download the free care sheet"] Footage I have or can get: [e.g. "my own plants and pots, phone camera, stock footage allowed"] Format the script as a table: | Time | Voice-over (exact words) | Visuals / B-roll | On-screen text or graphics | Rules: - Time the narration at about [130-150] words per minute and keep each row to 1-3 sentences. - Open with a hook in the first 10 seconds that states the problem or the payoff. - Write for the ear: short sentences, everyday words, no lists of numbers read aloud. - Every voice-over row needs a matching visual; avoid "talking head" for more than 15 seconds at a time unless I am on camera by choice. - Mark pauses with [PAUSE] and words to stress in CAPITALS. - At the end, give the total word count, the estimated duration and a list of all B-roll shots to film or source.
