The footage to gather
- Ingredients before service
- The finishing step at the pass
- The dish arriving at a table
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 restaurants
Use the current menu and include booking details that the team can honour.
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.
