Lesson 5: Revision Planning — Fixing the Right Things First

(Paste into Lesson Content)

Big idea

Not all fixes matter equally. A smart editor fixes the big problems first, then polishes.

Learning goals

By the end of this lesson, you can:

• Prioritize edits that improve story clarity and impact
• Create a revision plan using “High Impact Fixes”
• Turn feedback into action

What to fix first (the priority order)

Priority 1: Story clarity

• Is the issue clear?
• Do we understand who/what/where/why?

Priority 2: Pacing and structure

• Remove boring parts
• Make the hook stronger
• Ensure beginning–middle–end

Priority 3: Audio clarity

• Make voice understandable
• Lower music and noise

Priority 4: Visual consistency

• Add missing shots (wide/context)
• Improve shaky clips if possible
• Reduce distracting backgrounds

Priority 5: Titles + finishing polish

• Add simple titles
• Add credits (optional)
• Export cleanly

✅ This order helps you improve fast.
