- Choose one purpose. Show how a lesson makes a concept easier to understand.
- Upload the useful takes. Include establishing views, action and detail rather than repeated versions of the same shot.
- Describe the edit. Give Amira the audience, pacing and ending you want. Use reference videos when you want to communicate a style.
- Review the finished video. Match learning claims to course content and protect student information.
