1 Quality over quantity

One of the first factors to consider is the quality of your video clips. You want to choose clips that are well-shot, well-edited, and well-produced. Avoid clips that have poor lighting, sound, or resolution, or that contain errors or glitches. You also want to avoid clips that are too long, too boring, or too repetitive. Aim for a balance between showing enough of your work and keeping your portfolio concise and engaging. A good rule of thumb is to limit your portfolio to 10-15 clips, each between 30 seconds and 2 minutes long.

Just like delivering for iStock, be sure to cut the best section of your shot. No matter how much you like the idea of something, if the shot's not good enough, it's not good enough. Ie. If it's blurry, ditch it. If there's a camera shake that should be there, take it out. be ruthless and make sure your portfolio only has the best shots you have to show. Don't give producers a reason to say "no" to the quality of your work.

- Cinematic or clean shots - Presentable clips - Add 3 to 5 clips rather than putting too many Overall do some research before the compilation of clips.

This is a place for only the best of the best. Period. Do not put anything in there that isn't absolutely breathtakingly beautiful or striking. Shorter is better.

2 Relevance to your goals

Another factor to consider is the relevance of your video clips to your goals. You want to choose clips that match the type of work you want to do, the industry you want to work in, and the audience you want to reach. For example, if you want to work in documentary filmmaking, you should include clips that showcase your storytelling, research, and interview skills. If you want to work in advertising, you should include clips that demonstrate your creativity, branding, and persuasion skills. If you want to work in education, you should include clips that show your ability to explain, simplify, and engage. You should also tailor your portfolio to the specific client or employer you are applying to, and highlight the skills and styles they are looking for.

Especially if you’re in freelance, it’s important to create the work you want to attract. It’s a time to show your style and your approach, as well as what makes you unique. Think of it as a proof of concept - you’re showing your client what is possible, and helps them get an idea of what they can ask for. Final note: it’s a good idea to have multiple reels to showcase each of your different offerings.

3 Variety and diversity

A third factor to consider is the variety and diversity of your video clips. You want to show that you can handle different formats, genres, and topics, and that you can adapt to different situations and challenges. You also want to show that you are aware of and respectful of different cultures, perspectives, and identities, and that you can work with diverse audiences and collaborators. For example, you can include clips that range from narrative to documentary, from comedy to drama, from social to commercial. You can also include clips that feature different languages, locations, and people, and that address different issues and themes.

4 Originality and personality

A fourth factor to consider is the originality and personality of your video clips. You want to show that you have a unique voice and vision, and that you can bring something new and fresh to the media production field. You also want to show that you have a passion and enthusiasm for your work, and that you can express yourself and connect with your audience. For example, you can include clips that showcase your own ideas, stories, or perspectives, or that reflect your own interests, hobbies, or values. You can also include clips that reveal your humor, emotion, or flair.

The composition should have a unique selling point or a common thread so that personality is recognisable. The approach should be original and recognisable at the same time. || Die Zusammenstellung sollte ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal oder einen roten Faden aufweisen, sodass Pers?nlichkeit erkennbar wird. Hierbei sollte der Zugang originell und zugleich wiedererkennbar sein.

5 Feedback and reflection

A fifth factor to consider is the feedback and reflection of your video clips. You want to show that you are open to learning from others, and that you can improve and grow as a media producer. You also want to show that you are self-aware and critical, and that you can evaluate and explain your own work. For example, you can include clips that have been reviewed, rated, or commented by your peers, mentors, or clients, and that show how you have incorporated their suggestions or critiques. You can also include clips that are accompanied by a brief description, analysis, or commentary of your own, and that highlight your goals, challenges, or achievements.
