The footage to gather

  1. The starting style with permission
  2. The stylist explaining one choice
  3. The finished cut in ordinary light

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

Plan a footage-led story

Opening

Start with the clearest evidence in the supplied clips.

Middle

Ask Amira to select a short sequence around that evidence, keeping one must-use moment.

Ending

End with the viewer understanding what happened.

Review it for hair salons

Keep before and after lighting consistent and show only clients who agreed to publication.

Ask yourself: Does the edit preserve the action and context you recorded?

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.
