2. One-hour HNC shoot
- Meet the client and confirm three priorities
- Plan photos, reel clips, and key moments
- Capture wide, medium, close, detail, and vertical clips
- Review before the important moment is gone
3. Six-clip reel recipe
- Open with the place or person
- Capture one wide, one medium, and one close clip
- Add a detail and one stable movement clip
- Finish with a reaction, portrait, or closing view
4. Ten-minute clean reel edit
- Choose only the six to eight strongest clips
- Put them in a clear beginning, middle, and ending
- Trim the dead time before and after each action
- Add only helpful music or short text, then watch the exported copy
5. Natural photo edit
- Choose the sharpest frame that covers the priority
- Adjust brightness before color
- Keep skin believable and crop distractions only
- Compare with the original and stop when it looks natural
6. Delivery check
