Explainer video script: a meal-prep delivery service
Scene breakdown
| # | Time | On screen | Voice-over / dialogue |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0:00–0:08 | Hook. A fridge door opens: half a lemon, ketchup, one sad egg. | "It's 8 pm. You've worked ten hours. And this is dinner." |
| 2 | 0:08–0:20 | Montage: 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." |
| 3 | 0:20–0:35 | Logo reveal. Bright kitchen, a chef plating a bowl. | "GreenBox Kitchen cooks real food for your week — fresh, balanced, and ready in three minutes." |
| 4 | 0:35–1:00 | Phone 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." |
| 5 | 1:00–1:20 | Courier 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." |
| 6 | 1:20–1:40 | Microwave timer: 3:00. Steam, a fork digs in. | "On a weeknight, it's three minutes from fridge to plate. No shopping, no washing up." |
| 7 | 1:40–2:00 | Text 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." |
| 8 | 2:00–2:15 | Customer (actor) at a desk, smiling. | Priya: "I stopped stressing about dinner. And I've saved about $200 a month." |
| 9 | 2:15–2:30 | CTA. 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
Funders, broadcasters and festival labs decide on a documentary from the treatment long before any footage exists, so it has to show not only the topic but the story: who we follow, what is at stake, what access you have and how the film will look. We write a short documentary treatment with a logline, synopsis, characters, story structure, visual approach and why now, plus an interview plan with questions for each subject. Facts and access are described as you give them, never assumed.
What is included
- What you getA documentary treatment of a few pages with logline, synopsis, characters, structure and visual approach, and an interview plan with questions grouped by subject. You get it as text on the order page that you can copy or download.
- Story, not topicWho we follow and what is at stake
- Access statedWhat you can actually film
- Visual approachHow the film will look and feel
- Interview planQuestions for each subject
- Funder formatFollows guidelines you paste
How it works

What we need from you
The subject and why it matters now, the people you plan to film and what access you have, your research notes, the planned length and where you will submit, plus any funder guidelines pasted in.
We will ask you:
- What is the film about, and why now?
- Who are the main subjects, and do they agree to be filmed?
- Where will you submit the treatment?

Questions and answers
Do you research the topic?
We build on your research notes and the sources you name. We do not contact subjects or verify facts, so check every claim before you submit.
Can you write the budget section?
No, budgets depend on your crew and country. We leave a marked place for it in the treatment.
Who owns the script?
Once the order is complete, you can use it as your own, including for festivals, funding applications and commercial release.
