Overview
Interview video scripts fail when questions are written to be easy to answer rather than interesting to watch. "Can you tell me about your background?" produces a polished, rehearsed non-answer that could have been lifted from a LinkedIn bio. Questions that create the conditions for authentic, unexpected responses — by asking about specific moments, specific mistakes, specific decisions — produce the kind of content that drives clip shares and watch time.
The Interview Video Script Framework designs questions for interesting answers, structures the conversation arc for non-interview viewers, and provides the framing copy that makes the interview accessible without requiring the full context of who the guest is.
