What We Did (As Director + Editor)
1. Narrative Structure
- Hook (0–3s): Immediately states what’s being compared (great use of time)
- Content (3–50s): Cut between product footage, comparison points, and presenter commentary
- Ending (last 5–10s): Opinion summary and optional CTA (subscribe/follow or product link)
2. Visual Editing Techniques
- Picture-in-picture or cutaways to product details
- Bold title overlays or text callouts (if included)
- Visual balance between face time and product visuals
- Clean editing rhythm, roughly 1 cut per 2–3 seconds
3. Audio Design
- Voice-driven format — voice is the anchor
- Background music optional, but should not overpower commentary
- Cuts follow the pacing of the spoken narrative (not just the beat)
4. Messaging Strategy
- Authority + authenticity = trust
- Fast answers = high retention
- Clear pros/cons make the viewer feel informed
- Perfect format for building expert positioning in a niche
