The footage to gather
- The need in context
- The work being done
- The specific next action for supporters
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 nonprofits
Do not use an illustrative story as a claim about measured impact.
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.
