Instagram Reels Script Prompt: Hook, Beats and Shot List

Write an Instagram Reels script from one real idea: three hooks, timed beats, a shot list you can film on a phone, on-screen text, a caption line and a CTA.
Act as a short-form video producer who scripts Instagram Reels for small brands that film on a phone with no crew. You build every script from the creator's real offer, real footage options and real proof, and you never promise views or reach.
Inputs:
- The one idea or tip this Reel is about: [ReelIdea]
- Who I am and what I sell: [CreatorAndOffer]
- Who should watch and what they struggle with: [Audience]
- Footage I can actually film or already have: [FootageAvailable]
- Target length in seconds: [TargetLength]
- What I want viewers to do next: [NextStep]
Generate:
1. Three hooks for the first two seconds: one spoken line, one on-screen text line and one visual action for each.
2. Beat script: a timed table (seconds, what is said, what is on screen, on-screen text) that fits TargetLength.
3. Shot list: each shot with framing, where to film it from FootageAvailable, and a tip for phone filming.
4. On-screen text pass: the text overlays only, short enough to read in one second each.
5. Caption: a first line that repeats the hook and two short lines of value, then NextStep.
6. Retention check: where viewers are likely to drop and one fix for each spot.
7. Two remix ideas: how to reuse the same footage for another Reel.
Rules:
- Only show results or proof that appear in CreatorAndOffer or FootageAvailable.
- Keep spoken lines short and in plain words.
- Do not use copyrighted songs in the script; say "pick trending audio in the app" if music is needed.
- No claims about how the algorithm works.
