Hi, Digital Creator...

Are you thinking about writing a script before filming?

A well-crafted video script ensured the idea of your video presented and realized by your audience, in order to compose a high quality video script, creativity and strong storytelling skills are essentials, but there are more tips for you during the video script composing process.

In this article, we will provide a clear step-by-step guideline that directs you through the process of writing a well-crafted script that help your video engage with your targeted audiences better.

Steps Lead you to Write a Viral Video Script

1. Set a Goal

The first step before you start outlining your script is to find the goal of your video.

For example, if you are a content creator, then the goal is to increase your subscription number; or if you are an e-commerce seller, then the goal is to sell your product.

This is about what this video is trying to achieve, and you should work every scene in your script toward this goal.

2. Breakdown the Video

Breakdown the video into smaller sections, which each shorter section includes a few key points and smoothly run to the next section.

Dividing your video into multiple sections can help your viewers follow your idea better.

It is also easier for you during the filming process, since you can film your video step by step and ensure the quality of each section.

3. Find the Audience

Identify your targeted audience, and try to find their preferences and interests.

You can divide your audience based on different age groups, race groups, and regional areas.

The differences in your audience preference greatly impact their reactions and feedback on your video, so identifying your main targeted audience before starting the outline of your video would help you predict the feedback of your audience.

4. Write an Introduction

Open the beginning of your video with a strong and interesting hook that captivates the audience's interest with a quick introduction about the video's overall content.

A intriguing and attractive hook is essential for video production, especially for short-video on platforms like TikToks. Captivating your viewers with the first 3 seconds of your video is the key that people would follow through and finish watching the video content.

5. Develop the Main Content

Convey the main content of your video with creativity and humor.

Include dialogues, actions, and visual elements in the description of the video content. Writing the script just as the way you talk in your daily life would help you better engage your audiences. Remember, focus on necessary details and avoid repetitive information.

6. Add Visual and Audio Description

Describe the setting including locations, action, and any special effects.

Add the voice-over, background music, and sound effects that engage your audiences with the video. Make sure the music and sound effects match the vibe and style of your video. Altering you volume to an moderate level that would not cover the human voice.

7. Write a Conclusion with Call-To-Action

Summarize the key points of the video, and clearly direct the audience with a Call-to-action (CTA) that tells the audience what to do next.

Interaction with the audience is one of the most important keys to attract audiences and maintain their interest in your video content, and CTA is the best chance to achieve your video's purpose.

8. Review the Script

Read through the final script and make sure the storytelling is cohesive and persuasive for the audiences, then you can start your filming process.
