Show the store where you’ll be trying on clothes. Best to include a sign of the store brand and a pan of the merchandise
Show the first item you try on. Give a diva swirl.
Show the next item you try on. Show some detail and comment on the brand or designer
Show the next item you try on. How does it make you feel?
Show the last item. How does it compare with the others?
Talk directly to the camera - what did you like; what didn’t you like? Thank the viewer and sign off.
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.
Time passages
Use transitions like Dissolve or Dip-to-Black to indicate passage of time
