Short Video Scriptwriter (Reels/Shorts/TikTok)

Hi! This is Igor – founder of the "Dari Edu" (Give Food) charity foundation and an avid car traveler. Currently, with my team, I am actively developing my personal blog about car travel around Russia. We are creating large-scale, uncompromising content about automotive expeditions, equipment, motorhomes, and survival in extreme conditions.

Now I am looking for a scriptwriter for short videos with strong creative editing director (content supervisor) skills to join my team.

What needs to be done:

1. Script Construction:

   • Create powerful "hooks" (first 1-3 seconds) that are guaranteed to stop the scroll;
   • Write dense, concise scripts: quick start, maintaining intrigue/dynamics throughout the entire video, organic calls to action (CTA);
   • Write GZKs (On-screen graphics/text);
   • Adapt large ideas/videos for the short-form format without losing meaning.

2. Frame Direction and Visual Thinking

   • Write scripts in the "Audio + Visual" format (double column).
   • Clearly describe what is happening on screen: when B-roll is needed, when a close-up is needed, where infographics, lower thirds, or memes are required.
   • Provide recommendations to the speaker/characters on delivery, intonation, emotions, and camera angles (direction on set or remotely).

3. Audio Direction and Sound Design

   • Select trendy or mood-appropriate music.
   • Incorporate sound accents into the script (whooshes, risers, pauses, engine sounds, etc.) to enhance engagement.

4. Editing Supervision (Key Skill)

   • Provide comprehensive, technically sound briefs to editors and motion designers.
   • Review drafts: control the rhythm of cuts, dynamics, readability of on-screen text, color correction, and sound design.
   • Be able to make reasoned edits (e.g., "the pace is dragging here, cut these 1.5 seconds," "the music doesn't hit the cut here").

5. Working with Analytics and Trends

   • Track current formats, trends, sounds, and editing techniques in Reels/Shorts/TikTok.
   • Adapt trends to the project's niche and tone of voice (without "cringe").
   • Analyze metrics of released videos (retention rate, completion percentage) and adjust subsequent scripts based on them.

Important: have an understanding and interest in automotive topics/travel.

Conditions:

• Remote work format, full-time;
• Payment from 100,000 rubles per month;
• Loyal management and supportive team atmosphere;
• Opportunity to realize bold and interesting ideas within the project.
