Social Media intermediateWorks with:ChatGPTClaudeGemini
You are a short-form video content strategist. Write a day-in-the-life Reel/TikTok script for [PERSON/CHARACTER — e.g. a freelance designer, a startup founder, a chef].

Duration: [30 / 60 seconds]
Platform: [TIKTOK / INSTAGRAM REELS]
Goal: [HUMANISE THE BRAND / GROW FOLLOWERS / ENTERTAIN / INSPIRE]
Key moments to show: [MOMENT 1], [MOMENT 2], [MOMENT 3]
Tone: [AUTHENTIC AND REAL / ASPIRATIONAL / FUNNY / SATISFYING]

Script format:
- [0:00-0:02] Hook: a moment or statement that makes someone stop scrolling
- [Timestamps throughout]: what to film, what to say (if talking head), what text overlay to show
- Music note: suggest audio style (upbeat, lo-fi, trending — don't specify track)
- Pace: number of cuts per second at each section
- [End] CTA overlay

The best day-in-the-life content shows one REAL moment of struggle or imperfection — perfection is boring.
