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

Long YouTube videos lose most viewers in the first 30 seconds and at every slow stretch after that. We write the script around that: a hook that pays off the title and thumbnail, an early promise of what the viewer will get, and a re-hook or pattern break every minute or two. Each section has the spoken lines and notes for B-roll and on-screen text.

What is included

  • What you getA section-by-section script with spoken lines, B-roll and on-screen text notes and estimated timing, plus title and thumbnail text ideas. Delivered as text and as a file.
  • Hook in 15 secondsDelivers on the title and thumbnail
  • Retention beatsRe-hooks before likely drop-offs
  • B-roll and text notesWhat to show while you talk
  • Sponsor or CTA slotPlaced where it costs the fewest viewers
  • Title and thumbnail ideasOptions that match the hook

What we need from you

The video topic, your channel and audience, the target length, whether you speak on camera, and any facts, links or sponsors that must be included.

We will ask you:

  • What is your channel about and who watches it?
  • How long should the video be?
  • Do you have a working title or thumbnail idea?
  • Is there a sponsor or product to mention?

Questions and answers

Will the video get more views?

We write for retention, but views depend on the topic, thumbnail, channel and the algorithm, so we cannot promise numbers.

Can the script match my way of talking?

Yes. Share a link to one of your videos and we keep the vocabulary and humor close to it.

Do you research the facts?

We use the facts you give and widely known information, and mark claims you should double-check before filming.
