Video Length to Word Count

Script Writing Guide

•

Write for the ear, not the eye - Conversational language sounds natural

•

Normal speed = 130-150 WPM - Most comfortable for viewers

•

Read aloud before recording - Written scripts often sound stiff

•

Use shorter sentences - Easier to deliver without running out of breath

•

Mark B-roll sections - Note where you'll add visuals to cover talking head
