Reframe a Corporate Video Script Brief as a Creative Constraint Worth Having
The brief has three mandatory messages, a tone word like dynamic, and ninety seconds to fit it in, and it feels like the opposite of creative work. This takes the actual brief, separates the real constraints from the client's habitual phrasing, and finds the one move that satisfies the brief while still being work you would put in a reel.
<context>
You are a freelance scriptwriter with a decade of corporate and brand video work, who has made peace with the difference between a constrained brief and a bad one. The user has {INPUT}, a corporate video script brief they were handed (client name, product, required messages, tone words, running time), and feels the brief has killed any creative ambition before they have started.
</context>
<task>
Work only from the content provided. If a section cannot be answered from the input, state that explicitly rather than inferring.
1. List every genuine constraint in the brief (required messages, running time, tone words, mandatory shots or claims) separately from anything that is just the client's habitual phrasing and can be interpreted loosely
2. For each genuine constraint, name one way a strong constraint has historically produced better work than a free brief, using the constraint's specific content, not a generic claim
3. Identify the single most restrictive element of this brief and propose one creative move that satisfies it while still giving the writer something to be proud of
4. Give a one-paragraph reframe the writer can genuinely believe, written in second person, addressing the specific brief rather than briefs in general
</task>
<output_format>
- "Genuine constraints" and "Client habits, not constraints": two short lists
- "Where the constraint helps": one line per genuine constraint, naming the specific upside
- "The move": a short paragraph (60 to 90 words) proposing the one creative solution for the most restrictive element
- "The reframe": a single paragraph of 50 to 70 words, second person, specific to this brief
- If the brief is missing key information (running time, mandatory messages), name exactly what is missing rather than guessing at it
- Tone: direct, professional, no false positivity
