The building blocks of an awesome video are the Scenes and Mentions.

🎬 Scenes are the description of what the creator should do in the video.

📢 Mentions are here to guide the creator on what to say in the video.

To make sure you will receive a video you'll love, it's important to provide clear instructions in the Task Brief Scenario. By making your scenes and mentions as detailed as possible, you'll help your creator understand your expectations and deliver a video that meets your needs quickly. 😎

You can find the scenario in the "Video Brief" part of the task creation process. ✍️

This is where you can set the desired mood and convey what you're looking for in the video. 😉

What to put in Scenes?

🎬 Scenes are used as the description of what the creator should or should not include in the video.

Where you want your creator to film (bathroom, kitchen, outdoor, etc.)
What you want your creator to wear (workout clothes, formal attire, casual, etc.)
How you want your creator to present themselves (excited, sad, etc.)

What to put in Mentions?

📢 Mentions are here to guide the creator on what product features to highlight in the video. As well, it can be used to indicate special offers.

What you want your creator to say in the video
Any Call-to-Action or key words you want highlighted in the video
Lines that your creator should not forget to include in the video

💡 TIPS:

Please fully utilize the fields provided in the task brief and include the complete script directly within the designated section. This ensures that creators clearly understand the task before applying and are able to follow the instructions accurately.
You should never include statements like “Script will be provided later,” as the brief must contain the full script at the time of the creator application.
If the script, key requirements, or other important details are shared outside of the Billo brief (e.g., via chat or in separate documents), Billo cannot guarantee that the script will be followed or that any edit requests will be honored.
