The common mistake people make when devising their own videoscript for the first time is failing to recognise that it is for watching and listening, and not for reading. These tips might help.
1. Break down your content into simple sentences.
2. Relax somewhere, pick up your phone and pretend you are telling a friend about the points you have chosen.
3. Write and learn your script in that same conversational style.
4. Read you script out loud to a colleague preferably, until you completely at home with it, before you go to camera.
4. Remember you are going to show, not tell, so include as many cutaway shots of your subject matter as you can.
You would be surprised how many people appear before a film crew and haven't even devised their script, let alone learnt it!
