The Trailer Script Structurer

Script your course trailer in five beats: the hook, the problem, the glimpse, the proof and one call to action.

The Cinematic Curriculum Method Toolkit · 39 tools

£19.99

Also in 2 other products, from £12.99.

Your course trailer walks through the modules. Viewers have scrolled on before the first one.

The structurer’s instruction is short: «Sell the transformation, not the syllabus.»

What it does

The Trailer Script Structurer asks for five beats, each written as you’d say it to camera. It scores each beat out of 10, maps the five as a path, flags beats sketched in a line or two and ranks three moves.

What you’ll do

  1. Write each of the five beats as you’d say it to camera.
  2. Press «Structure my trailer».
  3. Work through the three moves and structure again.

What you get. A trailer-strength score out of 100 with a verdict, the five beats mapped as a path, what the analysis noticed in your own words, and three priority moves. The report downloads as a one-page PDF.
