The footage to gather
- Entrance and approach
- Continuous route from kitchen to living space
- Window view and room dimensions
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 real estate
Keep room order and proportions accurate; do not hide a material condition behind a transition.
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.
