WFH GUIDE — UGC CONCEPT SCRIPTS AND SHOT LISTS
Created October 18, 2026. Practice storyboards and scripts, not finished videos or client work.
Adapt these exercises to your own production and describe your contribution.

EXAMPLE 1: A HANDS-ONLY PRODUCT DEMONSTRATION
The notebook example shows a desk worker how to write a priority, next action, and follow-up. It gives a buyer a sequence to review: introduce the problem, show the action, then hold on the completed page.

Open: blank page
SCRIPT / CAPTIONS: “Opening your laptop with too many loose tasks? Start with three lines.”
DIRECTION: The opening names a recognizable situation and immediately shows the object.

Demonstrate: labels appear
SCRIPT / CAPTIONS: “Write one priority, its next action, and anything you need to follow up.”
DIRECTION: Writing close-ups match the narration; the viewer can copy the structure.

Explain: filled page
SCRIPT / CAPTIONS: “For this example: finish the outline, draft three headings, and confirm the review date.”
DIRECTION: Fictional content demonstrates use without exposing private work.

Close: hold the page
SCRIPT / CAPTIONS: “Try the layout on a page you already have.”
DIRECTION: The next step fits an unpaid educational concept; there is no invented sales offer.

SAMPLE PORTFOLIO CAPTION
Unpaid concept storyboard — notebook demonstration.
Audience and task: help a desk worker understand a three-line paper plan.
Contribution: original brief, script, shot sequence, and illustrations.
Status: practice storyboard and script; not filmed or commissioned.

FILMING AND PRESENTATION NOTES
Skill visible in this example: The words and shots support the same task, and the final shot gives the viewer time to read the completed page.
What to add when you film it: Use a steady overhead shot, focus on the writing, record clear narration, and leave enough time to read the captions. The finished video will demonstrate skills the storyboard alone cannot show.

EXAMPLE 2: AN ON-CAMERA EXPLANATION
The second concept explains what to note before asking someone for an update. A presenter introduces the question, then a close-up makes the advice concrete. When filming your own version, use a natural speaking pace and cut to the note as each field is named.

0–7 seconds: presenter
SCRIPT / CAPTIONS: “Before you send ‘any update?’, put three details in your note.”
DIRECTION: Frame the presenter at eye level and introduce the task in the first sentence.

7–21 seconds: note close-up
SCRIPT / CAPTIONS: “Name the task, the person who can help, and the decision you need. For example: homepage draft, project lead, confirm the review date.”
DIRECTION: Cut to a fictional note with TASK / PERSON / DECISION. Keep text visible through the relevant narration.

21–30 seconds: presenter and note
SCRIPT / CAPTIONS: “Now your question can be specific: can you confirm when the homepage draft is ready for review?”
DIRECTION: Return to the presenter for a natural finish. Leave a short pause after the question.

SAMPLE PORTFOLIO CAPTION
Unpaid concept storyboard — a specific follow-up question.
Audience and task: help a new remote teammate turn a vague request into a clear question.
Contribution: original explanation, script, cutaway plan, and presenter illustration.
Status: practice storyboard with an illustrated presenter; not filmed or commissioned.

FILMING AND PRESENTATION NOTES
Skill visible in this example: The cutaway makes an abstract explanation concrete, and the finished question follows the three fields.
What to show in a recorded version: Use your own delivery or a consenting performer, readable captions, and a clear voice. A drawing cannot establish on-camera confidence or audio quality.

EXAMPLE 3: A VOICEOVER WALKTHROUGH
This example uses a fictional task board to turn a vague card into an actionable item. It shows how narration, cursor actions, and on-screen text can work together. For a real software sample, use an authorized demo account and verify each step in that product.

0–7 seconds: open the vague card
SCRIPT / CAPTIONS: “This card says ‘website’, but it does not tell a teammate what to do next.”
DIRECTION: Use a fictional demo board; frame the card so the problem can be read.

7–21 seconds: fill two fields
SCRIPT / CAPTIONS: “Rename it ‘Draft the homepage outline’. Add the next action: write three section headings. Then name who should review it.”
DIRECTION: Show each field change in the same order as the narration; do not race the cursor.

21–30 seconds: show the Ready column
SCRIPT / CAPTIONS: “Move the card to Ready when those details are set. Now the task has a concrete starting point.”
DIRECTION: Hold on the completed card. In a real product, verify the exact workflow and use an authorized demo account.

SAMPLE PORTFOLIO CAPTION
Unpaid concept storyboard — task-board walkthrough.
Audience and task: show a new team member how to make a vague card actionable.
Contribution: original mock interface, voiceover script, sequence, and annotations.
Status: practice storyboard using a fictional interface; not a screen recording or software endorsement.

FILMING AND PRESENTATION NOTES
Skill visible in this example: The narration describes observable changes, the interface is intentionally simple, and the closing screen confirms the result.
What changes for a real software brief: Verify every feature, obtain the relevant permission, use a clean demo environment, and remove private names and notifications. Replace fictional interface details with the actual approved flow.

SOURCE AND REUSE
