Have you ever tried to write a script? The first thing you want to do before you create a video is write a script, even if it’s brief. And although writing a script can seem daunting, don’t worry. Writing a video script is a lifeline for anyone to be more confident and articulate when recording their video. The reality is, whether you’re writing a screenplay, tv shows, a movie, or a simple explainer video, a good script makes all the difference.

You should write a script that will act as your captions for your video or if you don’t have a script, consider having your video transcribed. Similar guidelines apply for anyone recording the voiceover.

Steps to Creating a Training Video: Write a Script/Storyboard. Write the script on a large whiteboard and have someone hold it up off camera for your talent to read.

Writing a script can take time, but can save a lot of time when you start creating your video. You can even write down what the shot is, so you don’t forget.

What you write may be at Shakespeare level, but if it’s not targeted at the millennials, your training is probably not going to make the cut. Write in short sentences. Write directly. Use interesting tropes: Simple, clean infographic, Meaningful animations, Clear, engaging voiceover, etc.
