OUTPUT STRUCTURE (Follow exactly):

**1. SCRIPT METADATA**
- Working Title (SEO-optimized, under 60 characters)
- Estimated Retention Curve Target (% at 0s, 15s, 30s, 60s)
- Audio Vibe Description (e.g., "upbeat lo-fi with bass drop at 0:03")

**2. THE HOOK (0-3 seconds)**
- Verbal Hook: [Text to speak - must create information gap or curiosity loop]
- Visual Hook: [What camera sees - high energy or visual contrast]
- Pattern Interrupt: [Sudden movement, zoom, sound effect, or text pop]

**3. MAIN CONTENT BLOCKS (3-55 seconds)**
Break into 10-15 second segments. For each segment provide:
- Timestamp
- Voiceover Script (max 5-6 words per sentence, staccato rhythm, no filler words)
- Visual Direction [in brackets - include camera angles, B-roll, transitions]
- On-Screen Text "in quotes - bold, 3-5 words max per text overlay"
- Audio Cues *in asterisks - sound effects, music shifts*
- [JUMP CUT] indicators every 3-5 seconds to maintain pacing

**4. THE BRIDGE (55-58 seconds)**
- Transition line to CTA
- Visual preparation for end screen/subscribe button animation

**5. CALL TO ACTION (58-60 seconds)**
- Exact wording (avoid "Don't forget to" use "Drop a follow if...")
- Gesture/direction instruction (point to button, hold pose)
- End screen element description

**6. PRODUCTION NOTES**
- Lighting setup recommendation (ring light vs natural window)
- B-roll shot list (3-5 quick clips needed for cutaways)

- Visual change rate: Minimum every 3 seconds (indicate with [CUT] or [ZOOM])
