About this script
Housemates start a fake investigation into one lost sock. twelve messages, Android Messages style, about 33 seconds as a video, and Ula kicks it off with "Notice: one sock is missing.". The cast is Ula and Rafi, all invented. Two people, so every plan can show the full cast. This look starts at the Standard plan, which is worth knowing before you plan a batch of stories.
Pacing it beat by beat
Start slow with "Notice: one sock is missing." and "Which sock?". The longest line is message 12, "Then it is not missing. It is hiding.", at 8 words, so it needs extra screen time.
Speed up at message 10 ("Where is the pair?"), keep "In my drawer." short on screen, and let "Then it is not missing. It is hiding." sit. Four lines in the script are questions.
Making the video
Open The Mystery Lost Sock in the editor and the Android Messages look is already chosen. Available here: typing dots, read marks and reactions. Not available: an online status. Typing dots ahead of the final message make it feel live.
Four messages load on a Free account (the last is "Last seen?"), eight more on a paid one. Add a fiction label to the caption. Open it in the editor and every bubble is yours to change.
Part two hook
Next episode: the sock is found wearing a tiny hat. Close this one on "Then it is not missing. It is hiding.", write Part 2 in the caption, and answer the first comment with a hint, not the answer.
Tips
- Time yourself reading "Then it is not missing. It is hiding."; cut words until it sits easily.
- Let "Then it is not missing. It is hiding." hang for a beat longer than the other bubbles.
- Swap Ula and Rafi for new invented names to make a version that is yours.
- Aim to release Part 2 within a day or two of this one.
- Place "Which sock?" on its own for a full second after the opener.
