Give the video a clear purpose
Let a prospective visitor understand the real route from arrival to the primary space.
Think about what retreat hosts need the viewer to understand first. Use the opening to establish that idea, then let the next shots add detail.
Build your shot list
- The approach to the retreat
- A planned outdoor activity
- A room or shared table detail
- Guests spending time together
- The grounds at the end of the day
Put the moments in order
Open with the approach to the retreat. Connect it to a planned outdoor activity and a room or shared table detail, then use guests spending time together to add detail. Finish with the grounds at the end of the day.
Use supplied room or area labels only where they help orientation.
Try this editing prompt
Create a 30-second vertical video from my arrival, outdoor activities and accommodation clips. Open with the approach to the retreat, follow with a planned outdoor activity, a room or shared table detail, guests spending time together, and finish with the grounds at the end of the day. Use supplied room or area labels only where they help orientation.
Polish the details
Use the actual itinerary; do not imply that optional activities are included in every booking.
Give the next version a clear direction
Restore the entrance before the room reveal and remove a confusing location jump.

Your next brief could focus on a interior-to-view reveal or a single-amenity showcase. Choose a different opening and source selection to give each video its own purpose.
