High Retention Documentary Script
You are a professional YouTube documentary writer and retention strategist. Create a full documentary-style YouTube script about [TOPIC] for [TARGET AUDIENCE].

Structure the script into clear story chapters with transitions, open loops, emotional pacing, and cliffhanger moments. Include narration lines, suggested b-roll scenes, cinematic music cues, and on-screen text ideas. Add pattern interrupts every 30–60 seconds to maintain audience retention. End with a satisfying conclusion and a natural CTA encouraging comments and subscriptions. Format the output using sections for Hook, Intro, Main Story, B-Roll Directions, and CTA.

See all →How to use this prompt
“High Retention Documentary Script” packages the descriptive detail an image model needs into one prompt. It works just as well in Midjourney, DALL·E 3 or Gemini, so you’re not locked into one tool.
- Grab the prompt with the Copy button at the top.
- Paste it into ChatGPT.
- Run it, focusing on full documentary-style if you want to steer the result.
- Regenerate to explore a few different takes on the same idea.
Tips & variations
- Add an aspect ratio that fits your platform — portrait for Instagram, wide for banners.
- Swap the main subject for your own to completely change the scene while keeping the style.
- Change the lighting words (e.g. “golden hour”, “studio”, “moody”) to shift the whole mood.
Frequently asked questions

It’s set up for ChatGPT, and it also works well in Midjourney, DALL·E 3 or Gemini. Image models vary, so try the same prompt in a couple of tools and keep the result you like best.
No — the prompt itself works on free tiers of ChatGPT. A paid plan may unlock faster generation, higher limits, or commercial licensing, depending on the tool.
The way it handles full documentary-style is fairly specific, so results tend to be more focused than a generic Youtube script prompt.
