This document outlines the shots and sequence for a barbering tutorial video. It begins with a 10 second intro title sequence showing before and after shots of a haircut. Next, the host does a 10 second introduction in a medium close up shot. Then there is a cutaway shot of barbering equipment with lens flare as transition. Following is a montage of the host prepping the subject for the haircut. The tutorial then shows various close up shots of different stages of the haircut with narration, including cutting, using an electric razor, and blow drying. It ends with a 360 degree spin of the completed haircut to match the opening title sequence.
