Give the video a clear purpose

Introduce the real use situation, show the action and finish with the visible outcome.

Think about what watch retailers 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 watch on the wrist
  2. The wrist turning naturally
  3. The dial or clasp
  4. The wearer showing the watch
  5. A complete worn view

Put the moments in order

Open with the watch on the wrist. Connect it to the wrist turning naturally and the dial or clasp, then use the wearer showing the watch to add detail. Finish with a complete worn view.

Use supplied product facts only; do not invent a problem the footage does not establish.
