Part
Script
You might say: outline, talking points, what I’ll say
The planned words, or an outline of beats, written before the shoot. At about 150 spoken words a minute, a one-minute Short is about 150 words.
- What it does
- Moves the story decisions to the cheapest place to change them: the page.
- Ask
- Can I cut this line without losing anything?
- Typical
- About 130–160 spoken words per minute (GoTeleprompter); measure your own read
- Trouble
- The cut runs twice the planned length, or you ramble on camera.

Let’s say the start of the video wasn’t well-lit, I didn’t match the expectations of the clickbait, I didn’t pre plan what I’d say, and we didn’t front load some interesting stuff for the first minute of content, we would have lost much less then 21 million people.

For video content, 140–160 WPM is the range that sounds natural to most audiences.
