Your prompt

Act as a scriptwriter for performance-marketing video. Write a 45-second explainer video script and storyboard for an invoicing tool for freelancers, aimed at freelancers who dislike admin, with the single goal of getting viewers to start a free trial. Structure: hook (first 3 seconds), problem, solution (how an invoicing tool for freelancers works in plain words), proof, call to action: "Start your free trial". Deliver two parts: 1. Script: voice-over text only, under 110 words total, plain language, no jargon. 2. Storyboard table: shot number, visual, voice-over line, on-screen caption, seconds, and a label: "REAL FOOTAGE", "B-ROLL" or "AI-GENERATABLE". Rules: - Use only these facts about the product: creates invoices in under a minute; sends automatic payment reminders; free for the first 14 days. - Where you would normally cite a statistic, testimonial or result, insert the placeholder [PROOF NEEDED: describe what proof to collect] instead of inventing one. - Do not make claims that I have not given you. End with two alternative hooks to test.

Example of what to expect

Illustrative only. It describes the kind of result this prompt aims for; real output varies by tool, model and run.

A tight voice-over script under the word limit, a storyboard table with shot labels, [PROOF NEEDED] placeholders instead of invented statistics, and two alternative hooks.

Expected format: Script, storyboard table and two alternative hooks.

How to use it

  1. Fill [PROOF NEEDED] with real evidence or remove the line.
  2. Record REAL FOOTAGE shots yourself; generate b-roll from this library.
  3. Have someone check every claim.

Limitations

  • The model only knows what you tell it; statements outside your facts must be deleted.
  • Scripts that include claims need legal and compliance review for regulated categories.
