How to edit a video for home exterior cleaning job

Turn before, washing and after footage into a story for exterior maintenance teams. Make the real change inspectable by pairing the original and completed views of the same area.

Give the video a clear purpose

Make the real change inspectable by pairing the original and completed views of the same area.

Think about what exterior maintenance teams 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 uncleaned surface
  2. The cleaning pass
  3. A close-up of the surface
  4. The operator performing the job
  5. The cleaned area from the original viewpoint

Put the moments in order

Open with the uncleaned surface. Connect it to the cleaned area from the original viewpoint and the cleaning pass, then use a close-up of the surface to add detail. Finish with the operator performing the job.

Label the two states accurately; no exaggerated guarantee.

Polish the details

Keep lighting and framing comparable and do not imply that editing alone changed the surface.
