Section 03
UGC scripts
For the four strongest angles, 15 and 30 second videos scene by scene: timecode, what is on screen, what is said, and the on screen text. Shootable by one person with a phone, with no set, no actors and no budget.

Decisions
Why it is built this way
The production constraint is in the prompt
A script that needs a studio is useless to a performance team. The prompt forbids scenes that cannot be shot today, alone, on a phone, which is what keeps the output executable.
Four angles, not twelve
Video costs more to produce than copy, so scripts are written only for the strongest angles. The rest are tested with static and copy first.
In practice
What to keep in mind
- The first scene is the hook: if it does not hold three seconds, the other seven do not matter.
- The on screen caption repeats the meaning, not the voiceover word for word.
- Thirty seconds rarely beats fifteen on cold traffic.
