Identify the grand payoff
Idea is the topic like I want to teach how to meal prep
Framing is I’m going to show students how to meal prep on a budget
Idea+framing = grand payoff
“In this video, I’m going to discuss every episode of Sherlock.”
VS
“I’m going to explain why BBC’s “Sherlock” is bad and always has been.”
At the top of every script, I list the other 3 so I can refer back to them easily.
1. Progression → What is the protagonist/viewer trying to achieve and what does progression towards that goal look like in practice?
2. Regression → how might they regress away from the goal (negative progression), and what does failure look like for them?
3. Emotions → how are they feeling in relation to their goals, and failures?
By having a quick visual reference to these things, I’m constantly making sure that every line of the script is developing at least one of them.
