Video brief5 lines
Who it's for
One person, not “our audience”
What they should do
One action
The one thing to remember
Just one
Where it plays
The feed, your site, a room
What it must not be
Too long, too salesy, too internal

Why these five

Each line kills one common mistake.

  1. Who it’s for“Our audience” makes a video for nobody. Picture one person.
  2. What they should doIf there’s no action, there’s no reason to watch.
  3. The one thingTwo messages means two videos.
  4. Where it playsIt decides length, ratio and the first three seconds.
  5. What it must not beThe fastest way to agree on taste.
