Give the video a clear purpose

Translate one approved client objective into a reviewable story with a clear opening, useful proof and ending.

Think about what small creative agencies 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 business in its real setting
  2. The core service in action
  3. One useful detail
  4. A permissioned team interaction
  5. The finished service result

Put the moments in order

Open with the business in its real setting. Connect it to the core service in action and one useful detail, then use a permissioned team interaction to add detail. Finish with the finished service result.

Use the client's approved message and factual constraints.

Try this editing prompt

Create a 30-second vertical video from my client-approved service footage and brand direction. Open with the business in its real setting, follow with the core service in action, one useful detail, a permissioned team interaction, and finish with the finished service result. Use the client's approved message and factual constraints.

Polish the details

Use the client's approved offer and preserve its actual branding; client approval remains a separate step.

Give the next version a clear direction

Replace a generic opening with the client's specified service or product action.

Your next brief could focus on a client reference translated into a source-footage edit or a client feedback round with one explicit change. Choose a different opening and source selection to give each video its own purpose.
