The footage to gather
- The first coffee of the morning
- A barista preparing the featured drink
- The seat or counter where it is served
Give each moment a little breathing room. Get close enough to show the detail, and keep the original clips handy.
Plan a phone-footage edit
Opening
Choose one scene from your camera roll and remove unrelated takes.
Middle
Trim repeated attempts, retain useful original sound and use a close view only when it clarifies an action.
Ending
Return to the completed result.
Review it for cafes
Check opening times and make seasonal availability clear.
Ask yourself: Can the viewer follow the scene on a small screen without extra explanation?
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.
