If you are a content writer or copywriter, one of these days someone is going to ask you to write a script for a product-demo video or an explainer video. When they do, what will you do?
I ask because script writing is a unique form of writing. Because you don’t just determine the words that someone is going to say in the video, either on camera or as a voiceover. You also determine what your viewer is going to see, and you determine what your viewer is going to hear.
Video script writing involves these three things: words, visuals, and sounds. You control all three, and you exercise that control in your script using a set of common commands and video production terms. For the video production team to turn your vision into reality, you must tell them what to say and how to say it, what to shoot and how to shoot it, and what sound effects and music to include, and how to include them.
