X (Twitter)-style group chat story: Movie vote
A ready X (Twitter)-style chat for a group chat that gets out of hand, eight messages long and about 19 seconds as a video. Load it, change the words and export it as a labelled, fictional mock-up.
The full script (8 messages)
The first four messages open on the Free plan; the rest need a paid plan.
The script: Movie vote
Dani begins this group chat chaos with "Vote for movie night: comedy or thriller?". After eight messages, Cleo has the final word, "I will hide behind a cushion". Expect about 19 seconds on screen.
Pacing numbers: the longest bubble is message 1 at 7 words, the shortest is message 2. One question gives the scene its back-and-forth. You can change any line or name once the sample is open in the editor.
How the X (Twitter) look carries the story
X DM-style chats use rounded bubbles with a solid blue for you and light gray for the other person, plus a small time label under each group of messages. Switch on read marks and reactions when you build the scene; typing dots and an online status are not offered for X (Twitter). Free accounts can use X (Twitter) without paying. A "Seen" line under your last message marks that it was opened, so a story can hinge on a message that sits there unanswered. The editor has a drawn X (Twitter) look for this.
Writing notes: group chat chaos
Let two people agree and the third change the subject. The change of subject is the beat the viewer waits for. Keep every name invented and do not turn the group against one person. Teasing between friends is fine; bullying is not.
What the Free plan shows
Four messages is the Free limit, so Dani's "It is a tie" is where the preview stops. Paid plans carry the remaining four messages, up to "I will hide behind a cushion", and allow more people in the scene.
Tips
- Leave Dani's "Vote for movie night: comedy or thriller?" alone on screen for a full second at the start.
- Number the participants in the caption so viewers can follow who is who on a second watch.
- Rewrite the last line, "I will hide behind a cushion", in your own voice and mark the post as fiction.
- Swap Dani and Rafe for two invented names of your own; shorter names make tighter bubbles on a phone.
- Shorten "Thriller" if you read it slower than the others.
Questions
Can I use Movie vote on the Free plan?
Yes for the look, with limits. The X (Twitter) look is on the Free plan, and the editor loads the first four of the eight messages and two people. The rest of the script needs a paid plan. Exports on Free carry a visible ChatsRat watermark.
How long is Movie vote as a video?
About 19 seconds at a comfortable reading pace, counting eight messages with a short beat between them. Add a second or two for the ending card and a little more if you use a typing indicator before the last line.
How many people can be in a ChatsRat group chat story?
The free plan loads two people and four messages. Paid plans allow up to four participants and more messages, so a lively group scene needs a paid plan.
