A video script is a document that has been formatted to be used as a guide to the actors and crew who will make the video. It can be compared to a film script, but with more or less detail depending on the format of the video you are making.
There are three main types of scripts: Screenplay, storyboard, and shooting script.
A screenplay is like an extended version of dialogue in film, where every scene is described in detail before it is shot. A storyboard includes visual snapshots of each frame in an animated sequence; this allows the director and animators to plan out what will happen before it does. A shooting script contains dialogue (usually basic) for each scene with instructions on how it should be filmed.

These questions will help you define your message. Keep in mind that you can always revise your message during the editing process. Now that you have a clear idea of what you want to say, it’s time to start writing. You can use a storyboard or outline to plan your script. You might also want to write down any visuals or sound effects that might be important for your audience. Finally, write a summary at the end of your script for easier editing later on.

A video script is basically like a storyboard for your film – it helps give direction to your actors and camera crew. The major difference between the two tools is that a storyboard will tell you how each shot of film will look like while your script tells you how each scene of your film will look.
A good rule of thumb when writing scripts for videos is that they should be around one page in length (250 words). This ensures that people are paying attention and there’s enough information to get across what
