Writing a Video Style Guide
- Show examples, not just rules
- Include do and don't frames
- Give LUTs or grade references
- Specify safe areas for text
- Define formats for each platform
- Keep it short enough to use
Templates That Save Time
Title templates
Lower thirds and title cards.
Intro and outro
Short, consistent bookends.
Caption styles
Readable and on-brand.
Thumbnail templates
Recognisable across uploads.
Keeping the Look Consistent
Name an owner for the style guide, review new videos against it, and update it once or twice a year. For composition rules, see composition in cinematography, and for describing projects in proposals, writing a video production description.
