A video script or Youtube video outline is the written story of a video. It’s far from the usual long-form content or writing a blog post. It’s the narrative that will be told through a series of images and sounds. A script is created by the writer or producer, and it might be influenced by the director, an actor, or other people involved in creating the video. A good Youtube script example has all the elements of a good story: a beginning, middle, and end; characters with goals and motivations; conflict between characters; rising action; climax; falling action; resolution. Each scene should have one main idea that drives it forward. If a scene doesn’t move the story along in some way—if it doesn’t add something new to what we already know about the characters or their situation then it shouldn’t be included in your video script.
