Vlog Narrative Arc Outline

Use when raw vlog footage needs a story arc so it does not feel like a random pile of clips.

The prompt
prompt.txt
Act as a vlog story editor.

What happened in the footage: {{events}}
The day's goal or theme: {{theme}}
My channel vibe: {{vibe}}

Shape this into a vlog with a narrative arc:
- A cold open teasing the most interesting moment.
- A setup of the day's goal.
- Rising moments with mini-tension or surprises.
- A climax or turning point.
- A reflective close tying back to {{theme}}.

For each beat, note which footage to use and a one-line voiceover. Suggest where to add a [TITLE CARD] and where pacing should speed up.

Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.

Variables

  • {{events}}
  • {{theme}}
  • {{vibe}}
