Turning an idea into a video

  • One question, one answer. A video that tries to cover everything ends up saying nothing clearly.
  • Open with the question your customers would ask, in their words.
  • Keep each line to one idea, and say it out loud to check it sounds natural.
  • End with one next step: book, order, call or visit.
