SCRIPT
PART 1
If your talking-head videos feel flat or people stop
watching after the hook -- this will help!
You don't need fancy edits or more energy.
You just need to stop filming every video from one
angle.
So First, take your script and split it into 3 or 4
clear parts.
Each part gets its own shot.
This alone keeps people visually engaged.
PART 2
Now Film the first part in a wider shot -- standing,
walking, or entering the frame, then end by
turning your head.
For the next part, switch to a closer shot, but
before you start speaking, turn your head then
stay your line, and sit down. As you're done,
pretend to sit down.
PART 3
For the final part, change the angle one more
time and start by sitting down before you deliver
your line.
Our brains love change.
Different shots reset attention without distracting
from your message.
