The footage to gather
- Raw material
- The distinctive finishing step
- The piece being used
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 handmade brands
Do not speed up a process in a way that misrepresents how it is made.
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.
