A video script the crew can pick up and shoot from on day one

Video Script

You've booked a film crew for a specific day, you have the idea for the video in your head, but on set nobody knows exactly what to shoot or in what order. Improvising on location costs more than preparing a script beforehand.

You've booked a film crew for a specific day, you have the idea for the video in your head, but on set nobody knows exactly what to shoot or in what order. Improvising on location costs more than preparing a script beforehand.

You have a general idea for a company film or an ad spot, but when you try to describe it to a production team, specific scenes, timing and exact lines are missing. You already filmed footage without a script, and now in editing it turns out shots needed for a coherent story are missing. A short social media format needs a completely different pace than a company film, and you're trying to write one universal description for everything.

We write a script broken down into scenes and shots, with the duration of each and the dialogue or voiceover text — in a format a director and editor can pick up and work from immediately, with no need to ask what was meant.

We approach every format differently: a fifteen-second Reel runs on a completely different pace than a two-minute company film, and the script has to reflect that from the first scene. We work directly with a production team, so the script already accounts for the realities of a shoot, not just the text layer. What we don't do: write a script as a loose story description — a production script needs a clear scene and shot breakdown, or the crew ends up improvising on set anyway.

What you get out of it

  • The crew knows exactly what to shootFewer delays on set, because the script lays out scenes, shots and duration instead of leaving them to be worked out on location.
  • The message holds attention from the first secondEspecially in short formats, every second counts — the script builds tension and specificity from the very first frame.
  • A consistent brand voiceDialogue and voiceover text sound like the rest of your communication, not a separate, disconnected advertising language.

Instead of a case study, we show you a fragment of a sample script written for a similar format — you see the scene layout and level of detail before ordering a full script.

Scope and pricing

The script covers a breakdown into scenes and shots with the duration of each, dialogue or voiceover text, and production notes indicating what should be in frame. It's delivered in a format ready to hand to a director and editing team.

  1. Briefing: the video's purpose, length, distribution channel and target audience.
  2. Preparing and signing off the structure (scene order, key moments).
  3. Writing the full script with a shot breakdown.
  4. One revision round.
  5. Delivery of a script ready to hand to the production team.

You know the price after the initial call — it depends on the video's length, complexity (dialogue versus a monologue or voiceover), and the number of scenes to break down.

Our guarantees

Structure signed off before the full script. Before we write every scene, you approve the layout and the film's key moments.

Tone signed off first. We agree the style of dialogue or voiceover on a sample before the whole script is written.

Format matched to the medium. A Reels script and a company film script follow different rules for pace and shot length.

Availability

Writing time depends on the length and complexity of the material — if the script needs to precede a specific shoot date, it's worth planning it well ahead of that date on set.

What you lose by waiting

Every shoot day without a finished script risks delays on set and missing shots that have to be reshot later, at a higher cost.

In short

We write a script broken into scenes, shots and duration, not a loose story description · the format is matched to the medium — different for Reels, different for a company film · you approve the structure before we write the full script · we agree dialogue and voiceover tone on a sample · the script is delivered ready to hand to the production team.
