How to edit a video for ticketed club night

Turn clips from a previous night and approved next-event copy into a story for club promoters. Introduce the next confirmed event while showing the experience available in the previous-event footage.

Give the video a clear purpose

Introduce the next confirmed event while showing the experience available in the previous-event footage.

Think about what club promoters 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 venue exterior after dark
  2. The DJ playing to the room
  3. Hands on the mixer
  4. The crowd responding to a drop
  5. A wide view of the dance floor

Put the moments in order

Open with the DJ playing to the room. Connect it to the crowd responding to a drop and the venue exterior after dark, then use hands on the mixer to add detail. Finish with a wide view of the dance floor.

One event name, one verified date and one ticket message; label previous-event imagery when needed.
