Video Scripting Services

Writing the Words Behind Powerful Visuals

In a market like Dubai, where visual impact drives engagement and content competes at a high level, a great video starts with a great script. At Octopus, we offer video scripting services that align with your goals, brand tone, and audience expectations. Whether you’re producing a corporate film, a product demo, a brand story, or a series of social media videos, we write scripts that turn your message into an engaging, well-structured narrative built for screens.

Why Script Writing Matters in Dubai’s Content Landscape

Dubai’s digital ecosystem is highly competitive and culturally nuanced. Audiences here are exposed to a constant stream of polished visual content across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and OTT platforms. What separates a successful video from the noise is not just the production quality, but the clarity of message and structure of the story. A well-written script brings cohesion, pacing, and emotional resonance — all critical for effective storytelling in this market.

Strategic Storytelling From the First Line

At Octopus, we begin every video scripting project with intent. We work closely with your team to understand the purpose of the video — whether it’s to explain a concept, launch a campaign, build a brand, or drive conversions. Our writers then develop the narrative arc, scene direction, dialogue, and transitions that make each second of the video count. We script for multiple formats, including explainer videos, testimonial edits, commercials, reels and shorts, product animations, and pitch films.

Scriptwriting for Diverse Formats and Platforms

Different formats demand different tones, pacing, and structures. A corporate brand video requires a formal yet engaging narrative, while a TikTok ad needs brevity, humor, and platform-native lingo. Octopus writes scripts for all major content formats — including short-form, long-form, voiceover-led, on-screen dialogue, and animated formats — ensuring each script is tailored for its final destination. We script in vertical and horizontal formats, as well as multi-language scripts for English and Arabic voice overs.

Writing for Visual Direction

A script is more than words — it’s the blueprint for production. Our scripts include scene-by-scene breakdowns, voiceover copy, on-screen text cues, and visual direction that guide your production team or animation partner. For social-first videos, we also write hooks and cut points that align with platform algorithms. This collaborative approach ensures the final output matches the original intent.

Multilingual Scripting with Cultural Sensitivity

Dubai’s audience is global and multilingual. We write and localize scripts in English and Arabic, ensuring tone, pacing, and cultural references are adapted for each segment. Our Arabic script writers are fluent in Modern Standard and Gulf dialect nuances, while our English copywriters align tone with Western and regional business communication styles. Whether you’re addressing a government body or targeting Gen Z consumers, we match voice with audience.

Integration With Production and Marketing Teams

Our scripting process is designed to integrate seamlessly with your video production or in-house content team. We work with your directors, editors, and brand leads to ensure script revisions, timing considerations, and narrative flow fit perfectly within your production calendar. We can also coordinate storyboard development, mood boards, and visual treatments when needed.

Industry Experience Across Sectors

Octopus has written scripts for clients in real estate, healthcare, education, fintech, government, F&B, luxury, and travel. From launch videos and investor presentations to safety explainers and community campaigns, we bring cross-sector insight and communication clarity to every script. Our experience with regulatory-sensitive sectors ensures that scripts meet both brand and compliance standards.
