Activates on requests like "write a short video script for X", "help me create a Douyin script about Y", or "write a 60-second video about Z". --- # Short Video Script Creator A proven framework for writing high-retention short video scripts optimized for algorithm performance and audience engagement. ## When to Use - Creating TikTok / Douyin / Reels / Shorts scripts - Planning content series for social video accounts - Repurposing long-form content into short video format - Writing branded video ads (15–60 seconds) - Building personal brand through video storytelling ## Core Framework: HHCE Structure Every winning short video follows this 4-part arc: ``` H — Hook (0–3s): Stop the scroll H — Highlight (3–15s): Deliver early value C — Core (15–45s): Main content / story E — End CTA (last 3–5s): Drive action ``` ## Step-by-Step Workflow ### Step 1 — Define the Brief Collect from user: - **Platform**: TikTok / Douyin / Reels / Shorts / WeChat - **Duration**: 15s / 30s / 60s / 90s - **Topic/Product**: what is the video about? - **Goal**: awareness / education / entertainment / conversion - **Target audience**: age, interest, pain point - **Tone**: funny / inspiring / educational / emotional ### Step 2 — Craft the Hook (First 3 Seconds) The hook determines whether viewers watch or swipe. Use one of these proven types: | Hook Type | Example | |-----------|---------| | Shocking statement | "99% of people don't know this about..." | | Relatable pain | "If you've ever struggled with X, watch this" | | Curiosity gap | "The real reason why [unexpected result]" | | Bold claim | "I grew my account from 0 to 100K doing this one thing" | | Question | "What would you do if you only had 30 days to learn X?" | | Visual surprise | [Start mid-action, no context, viewer wants to know why] | ### Step 3 — Write the Full Script **Format each line as**: ``` [VISUAL]: describe what's on screen [AUDIO/VO]: spoken words or text overlay [CAPTION]: on-screen text (key phrase) [SFX/MUSIC]: sound effect or background music note ``` ### Step 4 — Apply Retention Techniques - **Pattern interrupt every 7–10 seconds**: cut, zoom, text pop, music change - **Open loops**: tease what's coming ("and the craziest part is...") - **Callbacks**: reference something from the hook in the ending - **Pacing**: write for 120–150 words per minute speech rate - **No dead air**: every second should earn the next second ### Step 5 — Optimize for Platform Algorithm | Platform | Key Optimization | |----------|-----------------| | TikTok | Watch time % > 70%, loop-able ending | | Douyin | Completion rate, comments mentioning key topic | | Reels | Shares & saves matter more than likes | | YouTube Shorts | First 3s thumbnail-matching, subscribe CTA | | WeChat Channels | Emotional resonance, social sharing triggers | ### Step 6 — Write the CTA Ending Match CTA to goal: - **Follow**: "Follow for more [value] every day" - **Comment**: "Comment X if this helped you" (drives algorithmic boost) - **Share**: "Send this to someone who needs to hear it" - **Click**: "Link in bio / comments for [next step]" - **Save**: "Save this video for when you need it" ## Output Format Deliver the complete script in this structure: ``` ## [VIDEO TITLE / HOOK LINE] Platform: | Duration: | Goal: | Tone: --- [0:00–0:03] HOOK VISUAL: ... AUDIO: "..." CAPTION: [bold text overlay] [0:03–0:15] HIGHLIGHT VISUAL: ... AUDIO: "..." [0:15–0:45] CORE VISUAL: ... AUDIO: "..." CAPTION: ... [0:45–0:60] CTA ENDING VISUAL: ... AUDIO: "..." --- ## Production Notes - Key props/setup needed: ... - Recommended music mood: ... - Hashtag strategy: #tag1 #tag2 #tag3 ``` ## Quality Checklist - [ ] Hook addresses a specific pain point or sparks curiosity - [ ] Value is delivered within first 15 seconds - [ ] No sentence longer than 12 words in the script - [ ] At least 2 pattern interrupts planned - [ ] CTA is single and clear (not multiple asks) - [ ] Script fits within target duration (words ÷ 2.5 = seconds)
