# Video Script

Write a script built for retention — a hook that stops the scroll and a shape
that keeps viewers to the end.

## When to use

- An idea is greenlit and needs a script before filming.
- A format is underperforming on watch time.

## Steps

1. **Open** with a hook that pays off the thumbnail's promise.
2. **Set** the stakes so the viewer knows why to stay.
3. **Deliver** the value in tight beats, cutting every dead moment.
4. **Vary** the pace to reset attention before it dips.
5. **Close** with a payoff and a natural next-watch nudge.

## Output

A shot-ready script: hook, beats, and close, in the [[Channel voice]], with
retention notes on the risky moments. Ready to film and edit.
