a footage-based editing prompt

Video prompts for fashion boutiques

Use a footage-based editing prompt to show how a garment moves and fits.

Describe the supplied footage before describing a style.

The footage to gather

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

Opening

Describe the supplied footage before describing a style.

Middle

Name the essential action, the intended viewer and what must remain in the sequence.

Ending

Specify the final idea the viewer should take away.

Identify the shown size and avoid filters that change colour or texture.

Ask yourself: Could an editor follow the prompt without inventing missing footage?

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.

a revision-ready brief

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

a short spoken script

Write the viewer’s real question as the opening line.
