- Keep sentences easy to speak.
- Avoid long paragraphs in narration.
- Put visual ideas beside the exact narration they support.
- Use concrete examples instead of abstract filler.
- Do not fabricate facts; mark uncertain claims for verification.
Quality Check
Read the hook and final payoff together. They must match. If the script promises one thing and delivers another, revise before moving on.
