Hi,,,,,,,,,, what script? do yo mean how to edit a video?

 

[AntsDeKing]

It all starts with an idea, think of one and once you do that!

Either write down what you’d say word for word

or
If you like to improvise have it down as bullet points and you can talk about it as it comes to you

perfect, that's what I do,,,,,, it's easier to do scripts if you dont show your self in the video

At first i started out writing word for word.
After a few videos I figured out I can break my idea into several segments which made it easier to script. (Since I do guides for Dota 2 Heroes, I use segments like INTRO, HERO INTRO, POWERS/SPELLS, ITEM CHOICES, CLOSING THOUGHTS, etc.)
Now I do something more like a sketch (still in segments), I don't write word to word, I kinda write a rough outline of what I need to say and improvise.

Have you tried making story boards? I find it really helps me, because I can visualise what clip is going to go where, and then I put some dotpoints in for the scripted bits that go with each clip

Not really. I have a day job, therefore time at hand is minimal. Which is why i stick to minimal scripts now.

YES, I do camera gear reviews & just write down cons/pros so as not to miss anything, then in video elaborate/expand on each that's all, no script
