Scriptwriting is an underestimated aspect of video production. Some people view a script as video dialogue, but it’s so much more than that. Below are three main reasons why a great script is an essential part of video production and shouldn’t be overlooked.

Tell your story

Professional scriptwriting tells a story to connect an audience to your company. Consumers don’t want random information; they want to learn about your products or services through an engaging and interesting format. Storytelling is one way to captivate an audience and drive people to action.

Convey a message

A script gives you the opportunity to review dialogue and scenes before production to ensure the message fits your brand and values. You can also look through the script to make sure the overall messaging is clear and that there is a direct call to action

Save time and money

The script instructs people on what to say and do during the video, and it may also include notes about graphics and other video details. By working this out ahead of time, video production takes less time, making the overall video production process more efficient and less expensive. 

3 qualities of a great production company

Now you know why a quality video script is important, but you’re still not sure what to look for in a production company. Below are three qualities you want in the production company you hire.

1.     Proven timeliness

You may be wondering how you can tell if a company will be timely before working together. A good indicator of a company’s timeliness is how quickly they respond to your inquiry. Prompt responses and clear communication are good indicators that the production company knows how to manage time. 

2.     Clear expectations

As you discuss a project with a production company, expectations should be clearly set. A defined timeline, as well as an overall project scope and goals, will help set expectations and keep everyone on the same page.
