Understanding Audience
If you have a powerful story that you know can engage, interest and move your target audience, it doesn’t matter that there isn’t a single aerial shot in your video. In order to craft an effective story, you have to be inside your audience’s head, understand who they are, what they need, and how best to communicate with them.
