Video Shot List

ShotDescriptionLength
1

Introduction

00:04

Either in front of the restaurant or inside with a vibrant background, introduce yourself and say you'll be highlighting your favorite dishes at <restaurant name>.

2

Restaurant Overview

00:08

First, describe the restaurant: where it's located, the style and theming, how long you've visited and why you're a loyal diner there.

3

Menu Highlight

00:04

Scan the menu with the camera as you comment on the breadth of items available. Make sure the scan is slow enough so viewers can get a feel for items and pricing. You don't have to scan the entire menu.

4

Favorite Item (close-up)

00:06

Shoot a close-up as you say it's name, general description, and describe why you yourself love it. In the next shot you'll take a bite.

5

Bite And React

00:05

Now take a bite. Rest the phone on the table or have someone else hold it while you take a bite and describe the taste and your reaction. With the next two items you can just describe them without this same shot.

6

Item (2)

00:06

Now highlight your next favorite at the restaurant. Again say it's name, the general description, then describe why you yourself love it. If you have it, show it as well. It's ok just to show and bite the first item.

Item (3)

00:06

Now highlight your next favorite at the restaurant. Again say it's name, the general description, then describe why you yourself love it.

Wrap Up

00:06

Say something like: "Thanks for watching! You should try for yourself, at <restaurant name> here in <neighborhood name.>"

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

Know the audience

Family will watch a 2:00 video. Everyone else gets bored after 45 seconds.

Focus on people

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

Multiple angles
