Brand and ad video

Start with the audience and what you want them to understand or do. These guides help you choose a format, describe the production scope, prepare an honest customer interview and review an edit against the agreed brief.

Build an editable shoot brief

Choose the question you need to answer

If you have a business problem but no clear format, compare brand films and ads first. When you know the intended use, fill in the brief and scope worksheet. Use the interview guide for real customer stories and the review guide when the first edit arrives.

Practical guides and planning tools

Choose a brand film or video ad

Compare two different jobs: explaining the business and prompting a specific next action.

Understand what changes production scope

Use a scope comparison to decide people, locations, outputs, rights and revision needs without a price list.

Prepare a customer testimonial interview

Use neutral prompts and a claim-check sheet so a real customer can describe their own experience.

Give useful feedback on an edit

Separate factual corrections, creative preferences and new scope with timestamped comments.

Write a business video brief

Put audience, purpose, proof, filming needs and approvals into a document a crew can use.

Bring this to your planning conversation

Bring one main audience, the intended placement, a next action, the message you can support and the people who approve it. Keep inspiration separate from required facts, and identify any materials you cannot publish.

Put the plan into a project brief

Use the relevant worksheet before discussing the matching service. Keep questions, required outputs and open approvals together. You can also browse all guides to find another planning task.
