# How do I choose between a Highlight Reel and a Social Teaser?

Choose the Highlight Reel, about 5 minutes, when the brief is "tell me the wedding", and the Social Teaser, about one minute, when it is "make me feel it now". Each project produces the deliverable you choose.

The Highlight Reel has room for emotional development, people, ceremony, speeches and several parts of the day, with a fuller beginning, middle and end. The Social Teaser is faster and more compressed, built on a strong hook and music-driven momentum.

Every wedding has different material, so neither film follows one fixed shot order. You choose the deliverable when you create the project.
