縦型ショートドラマの脚本の書き方：5つのルール
縦型ショートドラマの書き方：1分のエピソードのための5つのルール。最初の3秒のフックから、視聴者が次の話へスワイプしたくなる問いまでを解説します。
このレッスンで学ぶこと
- 縦型9:16のショートドラマはどこが違うのか：スマートフォンで観る1分のエピソード
- なぜフックは最初のシーンではなく、最初の3秒になければならないのか
- なぜ60秒のエピソードには、転換がちょうど一つ分しか入らないのか
- 4ビート構成：フック、エスカレーション、転換、クリフハンガー
- 次のスワイプを引き出す問いで、毎回エピソードを終える方法
- ScreenWeaver でショートドラマのシーズンのビートを設定し、ラベルを付ける方法
縦型ショートドラマのエピソードは約1分、9:16で撮影され、スワイプ一つで離脱できる人がスマートフォンで観ます。このレッスンでは、The Other Nora を例に、縦型ショートドラマを書くための5つのルールを紹介します。ある女性が帰宅すると鍵が回らず、ドアが開くと、そこには自分とまったく同じ顔の女性がいる。60秒のエピソードが3本、ScreenWeaver で episodical プロジェクトとして書かれています。
フックを最初の3秒に置き、1話につき転換は一つにとどめ、約15秒のビートを4つ組み立て、問いで終わり、顔と短いセリフを前提に書きます。そのうえで、すべてのエピソードの4つのビートに同じラベルを付け、ビートトラックでシーズン全体がひと目で読めるようにします。無料の脚本講座のレッスン5.3です。The Other Nora の制作の全工程は、別の無料講座で扱っています。

0:04The vertical short drama is the fastest growing format in the world. Episodes of about a minute, filmed in 9x16, watched on a phone by someone who can leave with one swipe. Writing for it has its own rules.
0:19Here's our example. The Other Nora. A woman comes home, her key doesn't turn, and the door opens on a woman with her exact face. Three episodes of 60 seconds written in Screenweaver in an episodical project.
0:35Rule 1. The hook lives in the first three seconds. Not the first scene, the first three seconds. A key that won't turn. A visible problem, not a mood. On a phone, nobody waits for the story to start.
0:50Rule 2. One episode, one turn. 60 seconds have room for exactly one change. In episode 1, the door opening on her own face. Everything before builds the question, everything after makes it worse.
1:06Rule 3. Four beats of about 15 seconds. The hook, the escalation, the turn, and the cliffhanger. In the outline, that's four story beats per episode, each one becoming a single scene.
1:21Rule 4. End on a question. Episode 1 ends on a text from a contact named me. Don't knock again. Episode 2 on four words. You died yesterday. Every ending gives the viewer a reason to swipe to the next episode.
1:38Rule 5. Write for faces and short lines. On a vertical screen, a close -up fills the whole phone. Dialogue rarely goes beyond eight words a line, because each scene is a clip of about 15 seconds.
1:53In Screenweaver, that's an episodical project. Four beats per episode, labelled with their roll, and very short scenes. The same tools, a different clock.
2:04In the outline, label the four beats of each episode the same way, every time. The hook as opening slash setup, the escalation as rising action, the turn as plot point one, and the cliffhanger with tension slash suspense. Read the whole season on the beat track, and you'll see instantly if an episode is missing its turn or its ending.
