We'd like to create a scripted comedy video to advertise our online learning platform, Square Skills, suitable for Tiktok and Instagram.
TIP: Share any previous examples of comedy / skit-style content you've created!
Square Skills is an online learning platform offering professional courses in IT and Project Management. We make accredited qualifications affordable and accessible, and offer career development services such as resume writing, job search assistance, work experience placements and more. We can provide clips of the Square Skills portal for inclusion in the video, if the creator would like to use them.
[Concept: Quick cuts of increasingly funny distractions keeping getting the character’s way of starting the process of signing up for a course]
SCENE 1: Character is sat on sofa ready to research online courses for project management, but gets an advert for a ridiculous dog costume. They then glance at their dog.
Character: "I can do this later"
SCENE 2: Character is sat with their now ridiculously dressed dog, reading a social media post on the project management course they want to do, but sees their favourite singer has just surprised dropped a brand new album that’s 30 tracks long.
Character: “I can do this later”
SCENE 3: Character is now sat with their ridiculously dressed dog, wearing a new T-shirt of their favourite singer, with a wall of each vinyl variant of their new album in the background, and is FINALLY ready to look into which provider to go with for their project management course. They are watching a video review of one provider, when they get a text from their ex… and look into the camera.
The screen goes blank.
VOICEOVER: Okay, you can do THAT later. Do this NOW.
