About this script
A smart alarm clock starts giving feedback on its owner's sleep. thirteen messages, Signal style, about 39 seconds as a video, and Alarm kicks it off with "Good morning. You slept 6 hours.". The cast is Nia and Alarm, all invented. Two people, so every plan can show the full cast. This look starts at the Standard plan, which is worth knowing before you plan a batch of stories.
Pacing it beat by beat
Start slow with "Good morning. You slept 6 hours." and "Great.". The longest line is message 7, "'The early bird gets the worm. The late bird gets the snooze.'", at 12 words, so it needs extra screen time.
Speed up at message 11 ("I will set a gentler alarm. With a goose."), keep "A goose?" short on screen, and let "Honk." sit. One lines in the script are questions.
Making the video
Open The Alarm With Opinions in the editor and the Signal look is already chosen. Signal comes with typing dots, read marks and reactions in the editor, but not an online status. Typing dots ahead of the final message make it feel live.
Four messages load on a Free account (the last is "Thank you."), nine more on a paid one. Add a fiction label to the caption. Open it in the editor and every bubble is yours to change.
Part two hook
Next episode: the alarm discovers the owner has a second, louder alarm. Close this one on "Honk.", write Part 2 in the caption, and answer the first comment with a hint, not the answer.
Tips
- Time yourself reading "'The early bird gets the worm. The late bird gets the..."; cut words until it sits easily.
- Let "Honk." hang for a beat longer than the other bubbles.
- Swap Nia and Alarm for new invented names to make a version that is yours.
- Aim to release Part 2 within a day or two of this one.
- Place "Great." on its own for a full second after the opener.
