Act as a scriptwriter specialized in short videos that hold attention. Write a script of [length, for example 45 seconds] about [topic] for [platform], aimed at [audience]. Context: - Video goal: [for example educate, gain followers or sell] - Final call to action: [what I want viewers to do] - Who's on camera: [for example me talking to camera or just a voice-over] Structure: 1. Hook (0 to 3 seconds): 3 options that combine what's said, what's shown and the on-screen text; pick the best one. It must promise a concrete benefit or open a question the video answers. 2. Body: a single central idea with 2 or 3 concrete points, a visual change every 3 or 4 seconds and a small open loop that keeps attention until the end. 3. Close: the answer promised in the hook and the call to action, natural and brief. Response format: a table with time, what's said, what's shown on screen and the on-screen text. At the end, the caption for the post and 3 cover titles. Rules: - Budget about 2.5 words per second so the spoken text fits the requested length, and check it before delivering. - Short sentences that are easy to say out loud: it should sound spoken, not read. - The on-screen text must make the video understandable without sound. - No intros like "hi, today I'm going to talk about…". - If any detail is missing, make the most reasonable assumption and state it at the start.
