ORIGINAL SCRIPT & STORYBOARD
Ranking video template: explain your criteria in 30 seconds
A three-item ranking script with a visible scoring rule, reveal sequence and editable prompt. Build a reasoned opinion instead of an unsupported best-products claim.

When to use this template
A ranking is easier to follow when viewers know the rule before the reveal. This example ranks three fictional desk setups by how quickly they can be packed away. It does not evaluate real products or claim benchmark results.
Complete the brief first
Replace these example choices with your own materials. Mark missing information instead of asking a model to guess.
- Topic: three desk layouts you can show with your own images.
- Criterion: number of separate objects to move; define exactly what counts.
- Evidence: a labelled photo and a manual count for each layout.
- Opinion boundary: convenience is not a universal quality score.
Storyboard and narration
Timing is a planning guide. Adjust shot lengths to the footage and spoken read-through.
| Time | Visual | Line | Production note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0–4s | All three layouts on screen with the scoring rule. | Which desk is easiest to pack away? | Show the criterion before naming a winner. |
| 4–12s | Reveal third place and highlight loose objects. | Layout C has the most separate pieces to move. | Use the count from your own example. |
| 12–22s | Reveal second and first with matching labels. | B groups the cables. A keeps the kit on one tray. | Keep the image scale and scoring rule consistent. |
| 22–30s | Full ranking with a visible limitation. | Best for packing up, not necessarily for your workday. | Invite a reasoned alternative criterion. |
An editable production prompt
Copy this brief, add your files and brand details, then review the plan before production.
Plan a 30-second ranking video using my three labelled desk photos and verified object counts. Rank by packing convenience only. Reveal third, second, first. Keep labels visible and avoid a claim that one setup is universally best. Return the narration and timing table before generating anything. If counts are missing, ask rather than inventing them.Review before publishing
Review the finished edit against the brief, not only its visual polish.
- Is the ranking criterion visible before the first result?
- Does every rank have a reason and matching evidence?
- Are names and numbers stable across captions and graphics?
- Is opinion clearly separated from a measured fact?
Make a useful second version
A second version can rank the same layouts by available writing space, but it is a new comparison: relabel the criterion and explain why the order may change.
