- What evidence makes the story credible? Check the answer against this practical situation: A recruitment film should not be a compressed company profile. It should show the work, people and expectations that matter to a credible candidate.
- Where will the film be watched? Name the owner, the evidence they must keep and the date when the decision will be reviewed.

The short version
- Choose the audience and one message before the shoot.
- Plan every final version, approval and usage right early.
- Measure the action the video should create, not only views.
Meet Asha. Asha runs a dental clinic in Indore. The team made a good-looking video, but nobody decided where it would be shown or what viewers should do next. Asha now starts with the audience, one message and one useful next step.
This is a made-up example to explain the idea. It is not a client result.
