Training Video Shot List Template
A training video has one job: the viewer must be able to do the thing afterwards. That makes ambiguity the only real failure, and ambiguity almost always comes from filming a procedure from a single angle.
Every step here is covered twice, with the safety and verification shots that instruction requires.

Tips for this kind of shoot
- Two angles on every step. A training video that leaves a step ambiguous is worse than no training video.
- Show the wrong way as well as the right way. It is the fastest route to comprehension.
- Have someone who does the job daily review the cut before it ships.
