25:57I Moved to the Countryside and Built a Garden - 1 Year Later
Save referenceDesired Outcome
Many people dream of a stone cottage with a garden, and this is that picture. Alex stands in front of a house draped in climbing plants, with full beds either side. '1 YEAR LATER...' hides the before, so you want to see the start.
'I Moved to the Countryside' is the life change many viewers only imagine, and 'Built a Garden' gives gardeners a project to follow from scratch.
Alex's peach hoodie stands out against grey stone and green leaves, and showing Alex full length in the middle of the garden makes it look big and finished.
When a long project has a result worth showing off, show only the after with you standing in it, and put the time passed in the thumbnail. Save the before for the video so viewers click to see it.
Show the after, name the time, save the before.
Apply this pattern to your next video.
Bring the reference into a packaging brief, then decide what your title and thumbnail should each communicate.
