The footage to gather
- The empty venue
- One setup decision
- The completed room before guests arrive
Give each moment a little breathing room. Get close enough to show the detail, and keep the original clips handy.
Plan a short spoken script
Opening
Write the viewer’s real question as the opening line.
Middle
Pair each spoken point with evidence from an available shot; delete claims the footage cannot support.
Ending
Close with one relevant action instead of a list of requests.
Review it for event planners
Credit collaborators and separate the shown package from optional additions.
Ask yourself: Does the script sound natural when read aloud over the clips?
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.
