Add all the aspects that you think are significant such as the amenities provided by the property and proximity to the university you attend. Also, add a brief description of the property's location, as in how close it is to prominent landmarks, bus stops, and metro stations. You can add a quick room tour highlighting the top features and the same for the rest of the spaces within the student accommodation. Ensure you cover the whole student property, including the common spaces.

How to shoot the video?

• Ensure the environment is well-lit while shooting the video and that you are clearly audible.
• You can shoot the video either in your room or in a common social space within the property. Although, ensure the video covers all the significant spots, and everything is highlighted. 
• It doesn't need to be a very formal video with a high-quality setup. Just turn on your selfie camera, share your experience and showcase your accommodation.
• You can shoot the video in landscape / Portrait mode
• Create a detailed video about the property, including all the amenities, all the spaces at the property, your room, the common area, and everything that the student accommodation includes.

What should you cover in the video?

As you tour the property premises, talk about your entire experience there. Speak about the amenities that are available in the room and the ones that are provided to all the students in common. Discuss your stay at the property as well, including how comfortable it was, everything you loved, and what you liked best about it all. Try to highlight this in the video tour.

You can share some of the experiences/stories of your time at the accommodation, also your booking experience with amber. Following are a few pointers that you can talk about (these are just suggestions and not mandatory):

• How is it living there, and what's the atmosphere of that property like, spacious? Share your experience of staying at the student property. 
• Quality of the property. 
• Room facilities - include all amenities provided in the room. Here you can include if the room is fully furnished and has efficient storage space; you can also discuss the room type or configuration you have opted for. 
• Amenities that the property has to offer. This must include facilities that the student accommodation provides. You can briefly discuss the common amenities such as wifi speed, common areas, in-house gym, and more. This may differ from property to property. 
• Is the property maintained properly by the management?
