Video Overview
Script: Ever wondered where the word "sandwich" came from? Picture this: it's the 18th century. John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, is too busy gambling to leave the card table. He orders meat between two slices of bread so he can eat without stopping his game. Fast forward, and this convenient meal becomes a staple worldwide. Now think about "salary." It traces back to "salarium," the salt money paid to Roman soldiers. Just like that, everyday words carry stories as rich as any novel.
Custom instruction: 1) Blocks & Shots: Start with a close-up of a sandwich being made. Cut to a historical painting of an 18th-century card game, then a modern card game scene. Transition to an ancient Roman soldier receiving a pouch, zoom into salt crystals forming the word "salary." 2) Transition Plan: Use quick fades for historical shifts; dissolve between concept shifts (e.g., sandwich to salary). 3) Subtitles: Overlay bottom-center, large font, white text with black shadow. 4) Lighting/Color: Warm tones for historical scenes, cool tones for modern shots. 5) Cut Cues: Sync cuts with narrative shifts; end on a close-up of salt crystals forming "salary."
