Alright – you've got an app or a game to promote, you need a video script, and you wanna use ChatGPT to jazz up your scriptwriting game.
In this hands-on guide, we're diving deep into how ChatGPT can supercharge your scripting process. We'll cover everything from firing up your brainstorming sessions to refining your script's final draft. As a result, you'll emerge more confident, savvy, and ready to script ads that don't just sell but tell a story.
ChatGPT is an awesome brainstorming buddy (it's always on, never runs out of ideas, and never drinks your coffee ☕). But here's the catch – it's definitely not the be-all and end-all. We'll discuss why keeping the human touch in the loop is non-negotiable.
First things first!
Before we talk game plan and dive into scripting those video ads for your apps and games, let's touch on the basics.
Here's what you need to know before you even begin writing your script:
- Your app/game: Know the product you're marketing like the back of your hand. What is the USP (Unique Selling Point) of your app/game? What makes it tick? What keeps users coming back? All of this will guide your video production process.
- Your target audience: Picture the folks who just can't get enough of your app or game. Who are they? What gets them excited? They're not just stats; they're real people with likes, dislikes, and quirks. The better you understand them, the better they'll connect with your app or game.
- The video concept: Concept is King! Before you even think about writing, you need a solid concept. What's the vibe? What's the story you're telling in your video?
P.S. If you need tips on getting all these ducks in a row, check out our article on concepting your video ads, understanding your game or app inside out, and pinpointing your message and audience.

Writing a script for a UGC video for a mobile game using ChatGPT
Let's say you've nailed the essentials: you know your app/game, your audience, and your concept, and you're ready to write the script for a UGC video with ChatGPT.
Here's the step-by-step process, using a fictional merge-3 game Mystic Elements as an example:
- Get access to GPT-4
- First, you'll need a ChatGPT Plus account for access to GPT-4, which is vastly superior to GPT 3.5 for creative tasks. While GPT 3.5 works for testing, GPT-4 is your go-to for top-notch scriptwriting.
-
- Start a new chat
- Begin a new thread for each project to keep things organized. Avoid using the same thread for multiple apps or games, as long threads can confuse ChatGPT.
-
- Feed the AI all the relevant info
- Provide details such as the game description, target audience, and video concept in separate prompts (multi-prompting) for optimal output. Always follow data and privacy policies – use the "Reddit rule": if you wouldn't post it anonymously, don't share it with ChatGPT.
-
- Prompt the script
- Define the location, characters, timing, and tone. For example, specify whether the setting is indoors, the number of actors, or special client requirements. Adjust prompts to match your audience's language and style.
-
- Review & regenerate
- Refine the script by requesting multiple drafts, specifying changes in tone, pacing, or style. You can either edit your previous prompt or write a new one to guide ChatGPT further.
-
- Rewrite
- Polish the AI-generated script. ChatGPT can proofread for grammar and syntax errors but rely on your expertise for brand voice, emotional depth, and cultural nuances.
-
- A/B tests & variations
- Create multiple script versions for testing by tweaking elements such as the hook, setting, tone, or CTA. Experiment with different scenarios to see what resonates most with your audience.
-
Remember, ChatGPT is your creative sidekick, not a replacement for your unique human touch. Use it to enhance your storytelling and streamline your process.
