Hook and payoff

The promise the opener makes, and how the video pays it back

Hook

The creator establishes authority by stating a single, indispensable action they perform every time they undertake a specific professional task, creating curiosity about what that action is.

Transcript

When I'm planning a video shoot, there's one thing I do every single time, create a storyboard. I've teamed up with Adobe to show you exactly how I organize my shoots with the help of Firefly boards. It's basically a very customizable mood board you can design for any project. First, I start with an idea, easily typed in the boards and place anywhere I like. Then I add references, images of reference scenes, locations, and just anything that inspires the tier. This is literally my mood board when I'm putting together a visual story. You can add and move elements around freely to curate your project visually. This saves me so much time when it's time for production because I already have a vision and I good reference my board on better, on my phone, or my tablet. A huge part of creating content for clients or yourself is organization and vision. Have a clear vision of the story you're telling. Organize your vision no it's clear what needs to be filmed, how it needs to be filmed, when and where. This will save you so much time and resources, and ultimately help you create a better story. If you need an easy way to curate your ideas or projects, try out Adobe Firefly boards today.
