Task
Write a video script for a 2 minute (400-500 words) Rust news video.
Steps
1. Find a Rust related news story (that Bogdan has not covered yet!). The news does NOT
have to be recent. Here are some places you can look:
a. The Rust sub-reddit
b. The official Rust blog
c. Google news
d. HackerNews
2. Come up with an engaging title for the video (and note it down somewhere)
3. Use the video script template below to write a 2 minute video (400-500 words) script.
a. Look at the Example Scripts folder for reference. These scripts may contain
incomplete sentences, and grammar/spelling mistakes because they were written
and read by the same author. Your script should have complete sentences and
correct grammar/spelling because they will be read by someone else.
b. Focus on making the script engaging. The goal is to keep the viewers' attention.
c. Keep in mind that this script should be written for Bogdan to read. Please feel
free to look at the Rust news videos to get an idea of how Bogdan speaks.

4. Double check your grammar and spelling.
5. Email your script to <PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED_EMAIL_ADDRESS>.
a. The script should be attached as a PDF document.
b. The PDF file name should be the title of the video.
c. The subject of your email should be “Technical Writer Test Task Submission”.
d. NOTE: The script should be submitted within a week of you getting the test task
email.

Notes
● Feel free to use AI tools like ChatGPT to help you write. These tools don’t create great
sounding scripts, but they can give you a head start.
● If you have any additional questions please email <PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED_EMAIL_ADDRESS> with the
subject “Technical Writer Test Task Question”.
Please read the instructions above carefully before submitting your script. We will automatically
reject people who do not follow the instructions (ex: having the right email subject, submitting a
PDF document, etc.).
If we choose to move forward with your application you will receive an email within 2 weeks of
your submission. If we choose not to move forward with your application you will not receive any
email. Please do not contact us about the status of your application. If we have other open
positions in the future we will reach out to you!
Good luck and I hope we get a chance to work together! :) - Bogdan

Video Script Template
● Intro
○ Hook
■ The goal is to grab the viewer's attention in the first couple of seconds.
■ Using short words or phrases is preferable.
○ Retention hook
■ The job of the retention hook is to make the viewer want to watch the
entire video.
■ A retention hook can be a question that will be answered at the end of the
video, or a statement about something that will be revealed at the end.

● Body
○ History / Context / Background
■ This is the “meat” of the video. The part viewers watch in anticipation of
the retention pay-off.
■ For news videos you can include history, context, or background that
helps the viewer better understand the news story.

○ Transition
■ This should be a short transition that prepares viewers for the retention
pay-off.

● Outro
○ Retention pay-off
■ This is where you give the viewers what you promised in the retention
hook.
■ For news videos this can be the news story itself.
○ Commentary (hope, concern, etc.)
■ Give viewers commentary on the news. Is this news good for Rust?
Should viewers be concerned? Remember that this will be Bogdan
talking.
○ CTA
■ This is where Bogdan gives viewers a call to action (ex: download the
cheat sheet, leave a comment, like the video, etc) and closes out the
video. Refer to the Example Script folder for reference.
