The footage to gather
- Arrival at the place
- One activity unfolding
- A detail that changed your impression
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
Describe the supplied footage before describing a style.
Name the essential action, the intended viewer and what must remain in the sequence.
Specify the final idea the viewer should take away.
Review it for travel creators
Separate personal experience from guarantees about access, cost or opening hours.
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.
