How a brief becomes a video: the decisions a sentence cannot carry, what each one changes, and the three keys bound in the studio.

How a brief becomes a video

  1. You write one sentence

    That is the brief, and it is the only thing the studio asks you for. Everything under it is a decision the sentence cannot carry on its own.

  2. The genre decides the cut

    Not the subject — the rhythm. How long a shot is held before the picture changes is what separates a trailer from a documentary, and it is the one thing that survives being applied to any footage at all.

  3. The model decides how much is read

    The current generation reads the whole brief and holds a shot long enough to be looked at. The one before it is faster, and enough to find out whether an idea holds before committing to the wait.

  4. The ratio decides the frame

    Chosen before the cut rather than after it. A vertical video is composed differently; it is not a wide one with the sides taken off.

The two models

Breyvi 6.7

The current generation and the one to reach for. Writes, cuts and reads the whole brief, and holds a shot long enough to be looked at.

Breyvi 5.2

The generation before it, and faster for that. Enough to find out whether an idea holds before committing to the wait.
