The footage to gather
- The item beside a scale reference
- The product doing its main job
- What comes in the box
Give each moment a little breathing room. Get close enough to show the detail, and keep the original clips handy.
Plan an editing workflow evaluation
Identify the single editing decision that matters most to this project.
Make one first cut, then request a specific revision and check whether the meaning remains intact.
Inspect the exported file in its intended viewing context.
Review it for online stores
Keep colours, dimensions and included accessories consistent with the listing.
Ask yourself: Can you reliably make the changes this type of project needs?
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.
Build a three-app shortlist
