// Before you decide
Scripted or improvised videos?
Improvised videos can feel natural, but scripts keep them short, clear and easy to film in one take.
| Scripted (this service) | Improvised | |
|---|---|---|
| First seconds | A tested hook | Often a slow start |
| Length | Tight, 15–60 seconds | Often too long |
| Filming time | One or two takes | Many takes |
| Ending | One clear action | Often no ending |
