The footage to gather

  1. The part being checked
  2. The technician pointing to the issue
  3. The replaced or adjusted part

Give each moment a little breathing room. Get close enough to show the detail, and keep the original clips handy.

Plan a revision-ready brief

Opening

List the available clips and the one non-negotiable moment.

Middle

Separate story instructions from style preferences and state what may be shortened.

Ending

Define one concrete criterion for approving the edit.

Review it for auto repair shops

Do not turn an example inspection into diagnosis for every vehicle.

Ask yourself: Does the brief explain how to judge a first cut?

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.
