About Dramaturgy for Video & YouTube Courses

We craft evidence-based dramaturgy systems that turn lessons into journeys—clear arcs, memorable tension, and purposeful pacing for creators and teams.

Mission

Our mission is to democratize dramaturgy for learning. We distill cinematic storytelling and cognitive science into practical frameworks any educator or creator can apply—without bloating production or losing authenticity.

  • Elevate clarity without oversimplifying substance
  • Design tension-curiosity loops that drive completion
  • Reduce edit time through narrative-first planning
  • Make knowledge stick with purposeful beats and reveals

Methodology

Our dramaturgy stack blends three pillars—Structure, Rhythm, and Evidence. Each project scales these components based on constraints and goals.

  • Structure

    Modular arcs (Hook–Promise–Delivery–Payoff) mapped to lesson objectives.

    Open structure beats
    • Cold open with question debt
    • Promise framing with constraints
    • Delivery via guided exploration
    • Payoff with application + test
  • Rhythm

    Scene duration targeting, shot alternation, and breathers to reset attention.

    Timing heuristics
    • 30–90s concept blocks
    • Every 45–60s: curiosity nudge
    • Every 3–5 min: mini-payoff
  • Evidence

    Backed by retrieval practice, dual coding, and cognitive load management.

    Learning science
    • Sequencing by prior knowledge
    • Concrete–abstract–concrete loop
    • Worked examples then challenge
  • Systems

    Templates for scripting, shot lists, and edit checklists to speed delivery.

    Ops toolkit
    • Arc-first script templates
    • Beat-timed teleprompter cues
    • Editor checklists per scene

Why dramaturgy for learning?

Because attention is scarce and recall is fragile. Dramaturgy brings structure to curiosity—turning questions into engines that pull learners forward.

  • Increases completion rates and satisfaction
  • Simplifies scripting and review cycles
  • Makes editing faster and more intentional

How we collaborate

We run playbooks—rapid discovery, beat mapping, pilot scene, then scale. The result is a shared language across writers, hosts, and editors.

Engagement model
  • Sprint workshops (2–3 weeks)
  • Format development (4–8 weeks)
  • Ongoing dramaturgy for channels
