A good script is indispensable for the production of a high-traffic product video. The script is mainly about the copywriting, scene design and arrangement of scene layout for video shooting. Therefore, before the Facebook video is shot, the script must be reviewed multiple times to ensure that it is interesting, resonant, or novel.
3. To improve the attractiveness of advertising silent play
When creating Facebook video ads, you need to pay special attention to users who watch the video without sound. When opening a video ad, the default is silent mode.
