Give the video a clear purpose
Let someone who did not attend follow the event in its actual sequence.
Think about what recreation organizers 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 full court
- A complete rally segment
- Paddle and ball contact
- Players reacting after a point
- Players leaving the court together
Put the moments in order
Open with the full court. Connect it to a complete rally segment and paddle and ball contact, then use players reacting after a point to add detail. Finish with players leaving the court together.
Use a concise event identifier and optional chapter labels supported by the programme.

Use a concise event identifier and optional chapter labels supported by the programme.
Polish the details
Keep scores and match outcomes factual; a cut must not create a point that did not happen.
