Shoot the location to get the scene of all vehicles and people involved. Use a wide shot to see the positions.
Described what happened. Be calm and precise with details. Stick to the facts.
Get someone independent to say what happened. Ask them any clarifying questions to add detail.
Get another person to describe the events. Ask for detail.
Show the overall positioning of all vehicles. Walk around and show the damage inside and outside the cars.
Keep it short...
...then cut it even shorter. Usually under 90 seconds for a serious video; under 30 for a fun one.
Keep it moving
Make sure each shot has a point...and get to it fast! No fluff or filler.
Tell a story
Stories need structure. Make sure you've got a beginning, middle and end.
Know the audience
Family will watch a 2:00 video. Everyone else gets bored after 45 seconds.
Focus on people
Go easy on transitions, filters, etc. The best content is people relating.
