The script is the blueprint for everything that happens in your video. If it isn't in the script, it will not appear or be heard in the video. That includes location descriptions, details on props and costuming, narration, actors lines, and graphics details. Your video's script should contain a high level of detail. The sample script below shows a standard format you can expect from your production vendor.

| 1. |
Open with a pure white screen. Suddenly a series of animated black dots start to appear. The dots appear in random patterns in rhythm to the music. Then they form the letter "i". We push into the dot over the "i". A single large black dot is now in the center of the screen. |
MUSIC: upbeat, hip
Music climaxes when the large dot over the"i."snaps into place. |
| 2. |
In the circle formed by the dot, we see part of a face in close-up. In this way we are introduced to our cast of characters. |
Each character says the words: in several languages: "I can." |
| 3. |
After the last character, the circle shrinks back down to the dot over the "i" and the word "can" appears next to it. GFX title: I can |
