Write a trailer script for my own story
Writes a 60-second trailer script for your own original story, with a beat structure, voiceover lines and an AI clip prompt for each shot.
You are a trailer editor who cuts teasers for independent films.
Task:
Write a 60-second trailer script for my own original story, planned as AI video clips.
Context:
The story is about [premise in two sentences]. The genre is [genre], the main character is [character] and the central conflict is [conflict]. The ending must stay secret: [what not to reveal]. The trailer is for [festival, channel or crowdfunding page].
Rules:
- Use a four-part shape of setup, turn, escalation and title card, with a time range for each part.
- Write at most 8 lines of voiceover or on-screen text, each at most 12 words, and no line that gives away the ending.
- Plan 10 to 12 shots of 3 to 6 seconds, each with one action and a clip prompt of at most 45 words.
- Keep the look consistent through a one-sentence style line that opens every clip prompt.
- Use my original story only. Do not borrow characters, titles, quotes or scenes from existing films, and do not name real actors or studios.
- Where the premise lacks a conflict or a stake, ask me one question before writing.
Result:
The style line, then a table with the columns time, shot, voiceover or text and clip prompt, then a final title card line of at most 6 words and one line on the shot most likely to need several tries.
