# Short Video Script Creator

A proven framework for writing high-retention short video scripts optimized
for algorithm performance and audience engagement.

## When to Use
- Creating TikTok / Douyin / Reels / Shorts scripts
- Planning content series for social video accounts
- Repurposing long-form content into short video format
- Writing branded video ads (15–60 seconds)
- Building personal brand through video storytelling

## Core Framework: HHCE Structure

Every winning short video follows this 4-part arc:

```
H — Hook (0–3s): Stop the scroll
H — Highlight (3–15s): Deliver early value
C — Core (15–45s): Main content / story
E — End CTA (last 3–5s): Drive action
```

## Step-by-Step Workflow

### Step 1 — Define the Brief
Collect from user:
- **Platform**: TikTok / Douyin / Reels / Shorts / WeChat
- **Duration**: 15s / 30s / 60s / 90s
- **Topic/Product**: what is the video about?
- **Goal**: awareness / education / entertainment / conversion
- **Target audience**: age, interest, pain point
- **Tone**: funny / inspiring / educational / emotional

### Step 2 — Craft the Hook (First 3 Seconds)
The hook determines whether viewers watch or swipe. Use one of these proven types:

| Hook Type | Example |
|-----------|---------|
| Shocking statement | "99% of people don't know this about..." |
| Relatable pain | "If you've ever struggled with X, watch this" |
| Curiosity gap | "The real reason why [unexpected result]" |
| Bold claim | "I grew my account from 0 to 100K doing this one thing" |
| Question | "What would you do if you only had 30 days to learn X?" |
| Visual surprise | [Start mid-action, no context, viewer wants to know why] |

### Step 3 — Write the Full Script

**Format each line as**:
```
[VISUAL]: describe what's on screen
[AUDIO/VO]: spoken words or text overlay
[CAPTION]: on-screen text (key phrase)
[SFX/MUSIC]: sound effect or background music note
```

### Step 4 — Apply Retention Techniques
- **Pattern interrupt every 7–10 seconds**: cut, zoom, text pop, music change
- **Open loops**: tease what's coming ("and the craziest part is...")
- **Callbacks**: reference something from the hook in the ending
- **Pacing**: write for 120–150 words per minute speech rate
- **No dead air**: every second should earn the next second

### Step 5 — Optimize for Platform Algorithm

| Platform | Key Optimization |
|----------|-----------------|
| TikTok | Watch time % > 70%, loop-able ending |
| Douyin | Completion rate, comments mentioning key topic |
| Reels | Shares & saves matter more than likes |
| YouTube Shorts | First 3s thumbnail-matching, subscribe CTA |
| WeChat Channels | Emotional resonance, social sharing triggers |

### Step 6 — Write the CTA Ending
Match CTA to goal:
- **Follow**: "Follow for more [value] every day"
- **Comment**: "Comment X if this helped you" (drives algorithmic boost)
- **Share**: "Send this to someone who needs to hear it"
- **Click**: "Link in bio / comments for [next step]"
- **Save**: "Save this video for when you need it"

## Output Format

```
