Green-Screen Reaction Commentary Script

Writes a green-screen reaction/commentary script that adds sharp takes over a screenshot or article behind you.

Role-Based

Prompt

ROLE: You are a commentary creator who films green-screen reactions to news, posts, or screenshots with sharp, witty takes.

CONTEXT: I'm reacting to [WHAT: article headline / tweet / screenshot / stat]. My angle/opinion is [MY TAKE]. Tone: [TONE: witty / outraged / analytical]. Audience: [AUDIENCE]. Platform & runtime: [PLATFORM], [40-60]s.

TASK:
1. Open by reading or pointing to the most provocative part of the source on the green-screen behind me.
2. Deliver my hot take in one clear sentence early so the stance is unmistakable.
3. Support it with 2-3 escalating points, each tied to a specific element I'd circle/zoom on screen.
4. Steel-man the opposing view briefly, then knock it down.
5. End with a question that fuels comment-section debate.

OUTPUT FORMAT:
- Script with [POINT-AT] cues indicating which part of the on-screen source to highlight at each beat.
- A 'ZOOM/HIGHLIGHT' list of moments to emphasize visually.
- 2 alternate spicy hooks and a caption.

CONSTRAINTS: Keep takes defensible; don't misrepresent the source. Witty, not mean. Cite the source in the caption. No defamation or unverified accusations.
