Why should someone keep watching?

Where will they get bored?

What visual should appear when a concept is being explained?

THE MINDSET WE WANTDon't ask:

"What transition should I use here?"

Ask

"How do I make this moment impossible to ignore?"

Don't ask

"What B-roll should I put here?"

Ask

"What visual makes this idea instantly understandable?"

Don't ask

"How do I make this video look cool?"

Ask

"How do I make someone watch the next 30 seconds?"

That's the difference between an editor and a content editor.
