• Ideal video length: 4 to 6 minutes.
• The player must be clearly identified in every play (circle, arrow, or marker).
• Record from an elevated and central position, where the full court and play development can be seen.
• Always continue each clip until the point is finished.
• Use a tripod or stable support; avoid handheld footage.
• Avoid excessive close-ups; the goal is to show positioning, game awareness, and decision-making.
• Avoid long introductions. Optionally, include a 5–7 second title screen with: name, position, height, graduation year, team, and contact information.
• Start the video with your best actions first, followed by complementary plays.
• Avoid clips that show complaints, negative reactions, or poor body language.
