GENERAL CATEGORIES OF VIDEO
- Market showing your “VALUE PROPOSITION”–what’s in it for the viewer
- “Engage Viewers” and “Convert to Buyers” when they are ready
- Build “Brand Awareness” brand recognition
- Train Effectively–your employees and buyers
- DIY Video has a place and can be very effective

DIY–Do it Yourself Video
- If you have time time to plan and have some equipment, it can be very effective in getting your message out.
- With everyone having a smartphone, you can record anytime, almost any place to gather footage and you should
- You can post to Social Media instantly
- You can get good results as you practice more
DIY–Common Mistakes
- Terrible Sound–get a wireless or wired mic and get a camera app like “MoviePro” that lets you monitor sound with headphones or buds
- Exposure and color–use a camera app that lets you adjust easily
- Too much motion–start recording 5 seconds before and hold your shot 5 seconds after the action. Don’t pan rapidly all over the place.
- No pre-planning and lack of continuity shot to shot
- No end goal for what you want the viewer to do and/or call to action
Testimonial Video
Testimonials are a potent convincer because it shows satisfaction with your product or service and helps people identify being in the same situation with the same problems or needs
- You see this all the time on TV but it may not have sunk in. There are two general positions for an interviewee to be facing:
- Facing the camera when talking directly “to” the audience. Like asking them to do something, “ie: “call me today”
- Facing to the side when talking “about” the subject to an interviewer. This is called “off camera”.
- Also, there is the “rule of thirds”. The subject should always be facing into the video frame if looking off camera.
- It has to look “right”
- Use B-roll to make your message more understandable “say it, show it”
Proper Placement of Subject
Looks “correct” for a video image talking to camera, facing into frame but “incorrect” on this PPT image because he should be facing into PPT slide
Looks ”correct” speaking to camera
Looks “ correct” talking to an interviewer off camera and also looks correct for this PPT frame looking into the frame.
- Preparing your subject’s appearance
- Sometimes an interview may be spontaneous and you don’t have the chance,
but you should try to be certain your subject is neat and presentable- If possible, have your interviewee clean up by giving them a chance to look in a mirror. If a woman, give them a chance to adjust their makeup.
- That means being certain hair isn’t messed; use hairspray if you can
- Be certain clothes are not askew
- Faces are not greasy–just blot with tissue or if possible and you are serious about doing a good job, have powder
- Have your subject paraphrase the question in the answer.
- For example, if you are an interviewer not being recorded and you ask if they like your product, you don’t want them to answer just with saying “Yes” because the audience will have no idea what they are talking about
- Cue your subject when to begin speaking so they know the camera is recording.
- Use an external microphone, a lavaliere, handheld or boom mic, to get good sound
- Light the subject if you can
