Why take this course?

If you are a content writer or copywriter, one of these days someone is going to ask you to write a script for a product-demo video or an explainer video. When they do, what will you do?

I ask because script writing is a unique form of writing. Because you don’t just determine the words that someone is going to say in the video, either on camera or as a voiceover. You also determine what your viewer is going to see, and you determine what your viewer is going to hear.

Video script writing involves these three things: words, visuals, and sounds. You control all three, and you exercise that control in your script using a set of common commands and video production terms. For the video production team to turn your vision into reality, you must tell them what to say and how to say it, what to shoot and how to shoot it, and what sound effects and music to include, and how to include them.

Hi, I’m Alan Sharpe, and welcome to my course on how to Write a Video Script for a Product Demo or Explainer Video. I designed this course for content writers and copywriters who need to master this unique, visual medium.

In this course, you learn every step to take to write a video script from scratch. You learn the basic structure of all product demo scripts, the production terms to use in your script, and the format you should follow in your script.

You learn how to write for the ear, how to think visually, how to tell a story, and how to write the three parts of every video script (the intro, the middle, and the outro).

Look over my shoulder as I start with a blank screen and write a product-demo script from scratch, guiding you every step of the way. Learn the things you must do, the blunders you must avoid, and the best practices you must follow to make your product-demo video script or explainer video script awesome, and effective.

I wrote my first script in 1989, before video marketing was even a thing. I have been writing, shooting, editing and producing product-demo videos as a one-man show for more than eight years. In this course, I show you all that I’ve learned the hard way, along the way.

If you need to write scripts for product-demo videos or explainer videos, and if you want your scripts to be clear, engaging, compelling and effective, take this course.

Going too fast, difficult to keep up with different components. could be split it into three separate videos - words, video, sound,

As someone who has to write video scripts, this was a good refresher course and provided confirmation of what I knew already. I also was introduced to some new terminology and ways at creating more interesting videos on topics that might appear to be boring at first, such as tell a story. Great job by the instructor.

After finishing this course, I felt motivated to revamp my current way of filming content and start using some of the methods spoken about in the lectures. The content is very well delivered and made simple to understand. Excellent work, indeed!

I was on the lookout for a lesson that will help me promote, a software tool, but this was an interesting lesson as well, thanks.

The teacher covered the basics of what and why for planning and scripting videos. His rules were very clear and helpful and the transition from outline to scripting the ideas into the video and audio portions of the script made a lot of sense.
