The footage you choose must be of the highest quality. Each shot needs to be well lit. Each scene needs to be properly scaled to fit in the frame – footage shot on a phone, for example, needs to be sized to fit well with the widescreen clips that come before and after it. Blurry, dark or low-quality clips should not be included – remember, if a busy casting director chooses a moment from your reel where you’re barely visible…. you’ve lost your chance at grabbing their attention. Make sure your editor has adjusted the lighting to be consistent throughout the reel
