Choosing between a Hero Film and Short Tourism Videos
A hero film introduces a brand or experience. Short videos can answer individual questions or support campaigns. Choose based on where viewers encounter the content.

Define the viewing moment
A visitor already exploring your website may watch a coherent overview. Someone scrolling a social feed needs a quick reason to pay attention. A film made for one setting may not work unchanged in the other.
Plan the message count
One broad film can connect people, place and service. Several short pieces can focus on a guide, vehicle or activity. Avoid asking a very short edit to explain every product. Choose messages that remain useful when watched independently.
Scope the versions
A hero film plus cutdowns can be sensible, but the cutdowns need suitable coverage and editing time. Agree orientations, captions, titles and publication channels before the shoot. Price the actual version list rather than assuming unlimited edits are included.
Before you enquire
- Viewing context
- One message per short edit
- Required aspect ratios
- Explicit version list
