How to edit a video for admissions counselling explanation

Give the video a clear purpose

Start with a real viewer question and preserve the complete explanation needed to answer it.

Think about what education service marketers need the viewer to understand first. Use the opening to establish that idea, then let the next shots add detail.

Build your shot list

1. The question the counsellor answers
2. A complete explanation of the process
3. A supplied programme detail
4. The counsellor talking to camera
5. The supplied next step

Put the moments in order

Open with the counsellor talking to camera. Connect it to the question the counsellor answers and a complete explanation of the process, then use a supplied programme detail to add detail. Finish with the supplied next step.

Accurate captions from the supplied speech; no new factual claims.

Polish the details

Do not invent acceptance rates, scholarships or university affiliations; preserve qualifications in the spoken message.

Find another story in the same shoot

Your next brief could focus on a talking-head edit with readable short captions or a talking-head cleanup that keeps complete thoughts. Choose a different opening and source selection to give each video its own purpose.
