Scene breakdown

#TimeOn screenVoice-over / dialogue
10:00–0:08Hook. A fridge door opens: half a lemon, ketchup, one sad egg."It's 8 pm. You've worked ten hours. And this is dinner."
20:08–0:20Montage: delivery app scrolling, greasy takeaway bag, receipt total $34."So you order takeaway. Again. It costs too much, and you still feel tired after it."
30:20–0:35Logo reveal. Bright kitchen, a chef plating a bowl."GreenBox Kitchen cooks real food for your week — fresh, balanced, and ready in three minutes."
40:35–1:00Phone screen: choosing 5 meals from a weekly menu."Every Thursday you pick your meals for next week. Spicy, vegetarian, high-protein — mix whatever you like."
51:00–1:20Courier at a door on Sunday, cooler bag handed over."On Sunday we deliver everything chilled, in one bag, in a two-hour slot you choose."
61:20–1:40Microwave timer: 3:00. Steam, a fork digs in."On a weeknight, it's three minutes from fridge to plate. No shopping, no washing up."
71:40–2:00Text cards: "From $9.50 a meal", "Skip any week", "Recyclable packaging"."Meals start at $9.50. Skip or pause any week. And every container goes in your recycling bin."
82:00–2:15Customer (actor) at a desk, smiling.Priya: "I stopped stressing about dinner. And I've saved about $200 a month."
92:15–2:30CTA. Fridge from scene 1, now full of labelled boxes. Website and code on screen."Your first week is 30% off with code FIRSTBOX. GreenBox Kitchen — dinner, sorted."

Production notes

  • Total runtime: ~2:30 at a relaxed reading pace (about 300 words)
  • Scenes 1 and 9 use the same fridge for a before/after payoff
  • Scene 8 can be replaced with a real customer review if you have one
  • Music: light, upbeat acoustic; drop it out on the hook line in scene 1

About this service

Cooking videos lose viewers when they linger on chopping and rush the moments people come for: the sizzle, the cut, the first bite. We write the recipe as a sequence of shots with your lines or on-screen text, ingredient amounts placed where they appear and tips at the steps where home cooks usually go wrong. The format fits overhead short recipes for TikTok and Reels as well as longer presenter videos on YouTube.

What is included

  • What you getA shot-by-shot recipe script with ingredient callouts, spoken lines or captions, cooking times and a final shot, plus a recipe card for the description. Delivered as text and as a file.
  • Hero shot firstThe finished dish up front
  • Step shotsWhat to film at each stage
  • Ingredient calloutsAmounts on screen or spoken
  • Cook's tipsWhere viewers usually go wrong
  • Recipe cardText for the description
