Delivering a Strong Stand-Up

The reporter stand-up bridges sections of your package. Learn blocking, delivery, and when to use a walking stand-up.

📝 Step-by-Step

  1. 1

    Choose your spot

    Stand where the background tells part of the story. Avoid generic walls or empty spaces.

  2. 2

    Write tight

    Stand-ups should be 10-15 seconds. One clear thought, not a paragraph.

  3. 3

    Practice out loud

    Say it 5 times before rolling. Your body language improves with each repetition.

  4. 4

    Add movement (advanced)

    Walk toward camera or gesture to something in the scene to add energy.

✅ Checklist

  • Choose a location that adds context to the story
  • Frame medium shot with relevant background
  • Memorize — don't read from notes
  • Use natural hand gestures
  • Deliver to the lens, not past it
  • Record at least 3 takes
