The footage to gather

  1. The instrument setup
  2. A short phrase slowly
  3. The phrase at a comfortable pace

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

Plan a footage-based editing prompt

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.

Review it for music teachers

Keep the example achievable and use music you have permission to publish.

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.
