The footage to gather
- The starting task
- The uninterrupted demonstration
- The visible result
Give each moment a little breathing room. Get close enough to show the detail, and keep the original clips handy.
Plan a narrated presentation
Opening
Explain the decision the presentation should help someone make.
Middle
Give each scene one supporting point and keep charts, dates and labels readable.
Ending
Summarise the trade-off and identify the next decision owner.
Review it for product demos
Keep cause and effect intact and do not edit around a limitation that affects the claim.
Ask yourself: Would the argument still make sense without decorative visuals?
Watch it as if you were seeing it for the first time. If something is unclear, try a different cut or add the missing shot.
