  1. Too much rambling information. No one cares that you are at the single lane up-and-down and you can cross the double yellow when cars are going too slow or blah blah blah blah. Nice video to beginning showing one of your advertisers but it was too long and should have been at the end of the video and not to beginning. People tune into / four the facts and not a commercial right off the bat. Your posts are clearly amateurish and are covering incidents that don’t amount to anything. You could have written the copy from home. Answer these questions in your copy and you’re done.

    You begin first with an establishing shot where you are zoomed out covering most of the area. You then zoom in on areas of immediate concern. You then close out with the establishing shot
