Give the video a clear purpose

Think about what sports content creators 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 actual challenge question
  2. The correct participant shadowboxing
  3. The matching hand or foot movement
  4. The next participant's real rating
  5. The participant's reaction after the rating

Put the moments in order

Open with the next participant's real rating. Connect it to the actual challenge question and the correct participant shadowboxing, then use the matching hand or foot movement to add detail. Finish with the participant's reaction after the rating.

Use only that participant's actual words and supplied identification.
