Structure<\/h2>\n

\"Script<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Objective:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u200b <\/strong>To organize your script into a logical structure that will serve as the building block for your entire video.<\/p>\n

What you need before you begin:\u200b <\/strong><\/p>\n

*\u200b <\/strong>Organize your main points and ideas on a piece of paper before you begin the actual writing process<\/p>\n

* Set the overal tone of your script by constructing your first 2-4 sentences<\/p>\n

* Grab any snacks or drinks that make you feel creative, alert, and alive!<\/p>\n

At this point you have a great idea, fantastic plan for your script, a clearly defined message, and an identifiable target audience. So what’s next? Where do we go from here?<\/p>\n

You can’t avoid outlining structure when developing your script, as most, if not all, stories consist of a beginning, middle, and an end that need to be clearly laid out.<\/p>\n

Here are a few great tips on how to effectively structure your script:<\/p>\n

1) The introduction should introduce the problem that you are trying to address and\/or solve.<\/p>\n

2) The bridge is the next section that is meant to be used as a transition between your problem and your proposed solution.<\/p>\n

3) The middle portion of your script should detail the solution to the problem that you are proposing.<\/p>\n

4) The end of your script is where you should clearly present your Call to Action.<\/p>\n

NOTE: The script “introduction” and “Call to Action” will be discussed in more detail in their own separate sections, but for the purpose of this section we will briefly review all parts and components that make up a complete script. Let’s take a look at this video for example, identify and break down the 4 main components of its script, and then dissect the movie which will help give us a much better understanding of an “ideal” script structure.<\/p>\n
