AI Video Script Template: From Brief to Shot List

A reusable AI video script template that turns a marketing or editorial idea into short, reviewable video-generation shots.

An AI video script should be a production document, not a single paragraph of prompt text. It helps you decide what the audience must understand before you spend credits on generation.

Copy this template

  • Audience: who is this for?
  • One message: what should they remember?
  • Hook (0–2s): the first visual or spoken idea.
  • Shot cards: for each shot, write objective, reference frame, subject/action, camera, sound or on-screen text, and transition.
  • CTA: one next step.
  • Approval rule: what makes a clip usable?

For a 15-second product story, use three to five shots: problem image, product reveal, proof/detail, use moment, and end card added in editing. Generate the visuals as separate shots; keep legal claims, pricing, subtitles, and final branding in the editor where they can be reviewed precisely.

Pain point: a vague script asks a generator to solve strategy, cinematography, and editing at once. Our added value: shot cards assign each job to the right stage. Create the first visual test in Wan 3 AI, then refine the sequence with your editor and approver.
