Give the video a clear purpose

Show the real starting state, a meaningful application step and the actual finished result.

Think about what salon marketing teams need the viewer to understand first. Use the opening to establish that idea, then let the next shots add detail.

  1. The salon entrance
  2. The professional preparing the appointment
  3. Tools or product packaging
