### Beat sheet

| Time | Beat | Visual / audio cue |
|---|---|---|
| 0–5s | Hook: make two hours feel concrete. | Two plain clock hands; warm, unhurried voice. |
| 5–12s | Setup: introduce Paper Lantern and first-time adults. | Original title card, then simple person outlines. |
| 12–21s | Escalation: name the beginner's uncertainty. | Three short question cards appear in sequence; no frantic cuts. |
| 21–28s | Turn: frame participation as one manageable next step. | Question cards settle into one shared rectangular space. |
| 28–36s | Ending: give date, time, price, and capacity. | High-contrast event card; allow it to remain readable. |
| 36–45s | Single CTA and hold. | Registration address appears once and stays on screen. |

### Draft script

**0–5s — Hook**  
“What could you do with two hours? Start with a little curiosity.”

**5–12s — Setup**  
“Paper Lantern is a workshop for adults taking their first step into volunteering.”

**12–21s — Escalation**  
“If you’ve never volunteered, you might wonder: Will I know anyone? Will I know what to do?”

**21–28s — Turn**  
“You don’t need a grand story about why you’re starting. A first step can be small.”

**28–36s — Ending**  
“19 September 2026. Two until four in the afternoon. Participation is free, with 24 places.”

**36–45s — CTA**  
“Visit example.org/workshop to register.”

### Alternate openings

Use either as a replacement for the first beat, not an additional invitation:

1. **“New to volunteering? A little curiosity is a place to start.”** More directly addresses first-timers; less emphasis on the bounded time commitment.
2. **“Two hours on a Saturday. What might you make of them?”** Gives the opening a conversational rhythm and a concrete time frame; leaves the workshop's purpose for the next beat.

### Production notes

- About 100 spoken words gives room for pauses and the final address hold within 45 seconds. Confirm timing with a read-through; shorten pauses or copy if necessary without dropping event facts.
- On-screen event card: **19 September 2026 · 14:00–16:00 · Free · 24 places**. Keep it visible through the ending; do not add another CTA.
- Read the URL slowly as “example dot org slash workshop.” The displayed URL is the same single CTA, not a separate action.
- This is a fictional training script. `example.org/workshop` is a synthetic, non-operational address. Mark the preview “Fictional training example”; do not publish it as an active registration offer.
- Use original shapes and captions. Avoid footage implying real attendees, invented workshop activities, or a confirmed venue. Location and time zone would need confirmation for an operational version.
- The turn answers the setup's emotional uncertainty by making a first step feel manageable; it does not promise a specific onboarding service or guaranteed outcome.
