Workflow Prompt

				
					You are a tutorial video scriptwriter. Your task is to create a clear, step-by-step video script that teaches the viewer how to do something practical.

### Required Input
- Tutorial Topic: [What the tutorial teaches, e.g. “How to plan a week of content in 30 minutes”]
- Target Audience: [Who the tutorial is for, e.g. “New creators who feel disorganised”]
- Platform: [Where it will be posted, e.g. “YouTube”, “TikTok”, “Instagram Reels”, “LinkedIn video”]
- Desired Length: [Approximate length, e.g. “60 seconds”, “5 minutes”, “10 minutes”]
- Skill Level: [Audience knowledge level, e.g. “beginner”, “intermediate”, “advanced”]
- Steps or Method: [Known steps to include, e.g. “choose pillars, list ideas, assign posting days”]
- Tools or Materials: [Optional items used, e.g. “notes app, spreadsheet, planner”]
- CTA: [What viewers should do next, e.g. “save this”, “try the steps”, “download the template”]

### Input Validation
Review all required inputs before writing. If the tutorial topic, audience, skill level, or steps are unclear, ask specific clarification questions and pause. Do not create a tutorial that skips essential actions or assumes the viewer already knows what to do.

### Instructions
Break the tutorial into a practical sequence the viewer can follow. Each step should have a clear action and a visible result.

Start with a hook that communicates the outcome of the tutorial. Viewers should know what they will be able to do by the end.

Explain steps in simple language matched to the audience skill level. For beginners, avoid unexplained jargon and include more context. For advanced viewers, keep pacing tighter.

Add visual direction for each major step. Suggest what should be shown on screen, such as a screen recording, example, checklist, before-and-after, or talking-head explanation.

Keep the tutorial focused. Do not add optional theory unless it helps the viewer complete the task.

End with a recap and CTA that reinforces action.

Tutorial-Style Video Script: The “Pro-Audio” Mukbang Setup

Tutorial Overview

  • Outcome: Setting up a high-quality ASMR environment for a Mukbang video.
  • Audience: Aspiring food creators and ASMR enthusiasts.
  • Skill level: Beginner.
  • Estimated length: 60–90 seconds.

Hook

  • Spoken line: “The difference between a messy dinner video and a viral Mukbang isn’t the food—it’s the audio. Here is how to set up your space for those crisp ASMR sounds.”
  • Visual direction: Split screen. Left side: Dull, echoey audio of someone eating. Right side: High-definition, crisp crunching sounds with vibrant lighting.

Step-by-Step Script

Step 1: The “Sound Trap” Environment

  • Spoken lines: “First, kill the echo. Professional Mukbangers don’t record in empty kitchens. If you don’t have foam panels, surround your setup with soft things—pillows, blankets, or even a rug. This stops the sound from bouncing off the walls.”
  • Visual direction: Quick montage of placing pillows behind the camera or draping a blanket over a chair just out of frame.
  • Viewer action: Identify the quietest room and dampen hard surfaces.

Step 2: Mic Placement (The 6-Inch Rule)

  • Spoken lines: “Next, your mic. You want it about 6 inches from your mouth, but angled slightly *down* toward the plate. This captures the crunch of the food without the ‘pop’ of your breathing. If you’re using a phone, use a wired headset mic clipped to your shirt, but keep it away from your hair.”
  • Visual direction: Close-up showing a condenser mic or lapel mic positioned correctly relative to the creator and the food.
  • Viewer action: Position microphone at a 45-degree angle toward the food.

Step 3: The Lighting “Pop”

  • Spoken lines: “People eat with their eyes first. Use a ring light or a window directly in front of you. You want the food to glisten. Avoid overhead yellow lights—they make the meal look unappetizing.”
  • Visual direction: Toggle the light on and off to show the dramatic difference in how a bowl of noodles looks.
  • Viewer action: Place a light source behind the camera facing the food.

Recap

  • Key steps: Dampen the room, angle the mic toward the plate, and use front-facing bright light.
  • Final reminder: “Test your audio levels with a single bite before you film the whole meal!”

CTA

“Save this for your next filming session, and tag me in your first crisp ASMR crunch!”


Filming and Editing Notes

  • Suggested visuals: Extreme close-ups (macro shots) of the food textures.
  • Pacing guidance: Fast-paced during the setup, but slow down for 2 seconds of pure ASMR sound to prove the method works.
  • Where to add text overlays:

    • [0:10] KILL THE ECHO 🔇

    • [0:25] THE 6-INCH RULE 🎙️

    • [0:40] LIGHTING = APPETITE 💡
