Instagram Reel Script Generator — Idea to Shot List in Minutes

🎬 Instagram Reel Script Generator — Idea to Shot List in Minutes

A Claude AI Prompt-Builder Tool (requires a free Claude.ai account to generate your script)

⚠️ Please read before purchasing: This is a prompt-building tool, not a standalone script-writing app. It's an interactive page that asks you a few questions about your Reel, then builds a detailed, ready-to-use prompt. You then copy that prompt and paste it into Claude (Anthropic's free AI chatbot at claude.ai) to actually generate your script. No script is generated on this page itself — Claude does the writing. A free Claude.ai account is all you need; no paid subscription required.

You've got the idea. You know the point you want to make. But turning that into an actual scroll-stopping hook, a script you can film without rambling, a shot list, on-screen text, a caption, and hashtags — that's five different jobs before you've even picked up your phone.

This tool solves that. Drop in your rough idea or notes, generate your prompt, then hand it to Claude to write your Reel — hook, tight script, and close included — plus everything else you need to actually film and post: alternative hooks, a shot list, on-screen text cues, a caption, hashtags, audio direction, and follow-up Reel ideas.

⚙️ How It Actually Works (please read before buying)

Download and open the file in any browser — phone, tablet, or computer. No install.

Type in your Reel topic and rough ideas — even messy bullet points or a half-formed thought works.

Pick your target length (15, 30, 60, or 90 seconds), tone, and the goal for this Reel (reach, saves, trust, traffic, comments).

Check off what you want included — alternative hooks, shot list, on-screen text, caption, hashtags, audio direction, more ideas.

Tap "Build my Reel script" — the page builds a detailed prompt for you. This is text, not a finished script.

Copy that prompt and paste it into Claude (a free account at claude.ai — you'll need to go there separately). Claude then writes your actual script, shot list, and everything else.

In short: this tool writes the instructions. Claude writes the script. If you're looking for something that generates content on its own with no other AI tool involved, this isn't that — please message me with questions before purchasing if you're unsure.

📦 What's Included in the Prompt-Builder

🎬 Idea-to-Script Prompt — Turns your topic and rough notes into a detailed prompt instructing Claude to write a full, timestamped Reel script: a scroll-stopping hook in the first 1-2 seconds, a tight value-packed build, and a natural close.

⏱️ Length, Tone & Goal Controls — Pick 15, 30, 60, or 90 seconds, choose from five tones (casual, polished, energetic, calm/educational, funny), and set the Reel's goal (reach, saves, trust-building, link-in-bio traffic, or sparking comments) — all built into the prompt so Claude's output actually fits how you'll use it.

🪝 Alternative Hooks Add-On — Requests 5 alternative hook lines for the first 1-2 seconds, each testing a different angle (bold claim, relatable pain point, curiosity gap, direct question, pattern interrupt).

🎥 Shot List Add-On — Requests a practical, beat-by-beat shot list: framing, action, setting/prop, and on-camera vs. B-roll, written for a solo creator filming without a crew.

💬 On-Screen Text Add-On — Requests short text overlay suggestions (under 8 words each) mapped to where they land in the script.

📝 Caption Add-On — Requests a ready-to-paste caption with a strong first line, a short body that adds context the video didn't cover, and a call to action.

#️⃣ Hashtag Add-On — Requests exactly 5 hashtags mixing broad reach and niche relevance.

🎵 Audio Direction Add-On — Requests the type of audio to pair with the Reel (trending upbeat, voiceover-only, ambient, spoken-word) and why it fits the pacing and goal — you find the specific trending sound yourself.

💡 Follow-Up Idea Add-On — Requests 5 more Reel ideas that build on the one you just scripted.

(All of the above are instructions built into your prompt for Claude — Claude generates the actual content when you paste the prompt in.)

🙋 Perfect For

Instagram creators who have more Reel ideas than time to script them, and who are comfortable using an AI chatbot to help

Creators tired of writing hook, shot list, caption, and hashtags as five separate steps by hand

Solo creators without a scriptwriter, editor, or social media manager

Anyone already using or willing to sign up for a free Claude.ai account

Not for: anyone looking for a fully automated app that writes and delivers a finished script with no other steps or tools involved.
