Tips for Creating Videos

Step 1: Create a script

You need to create a script that describes what will happen in every “scene”.We recommend working with the following simple guidelines to create an engaging and captivating flow:Which problem are you or your product addressing?How does the frustration manifest itself? (Expensive, labor intensive, annoying etc…)Aggravate problem (for example show what usefulness other solutions are there)What is your solution, what are its benefits and why is it better?CALL TO ACTION: Test us – Try us – Buy Us.Remember that when reading your newly created script without pauses, 90 seconds corresponds to around 225 words! So before finalizing your script, please make sure to do a word count (Advice: SHORTEN THE SCRIP ONCE and then SHORTEN IT AGAIN).

Step 2: Voice-Over Guide / Background Music

You need to either choose a background track for your music or record a voice-over guide. This means that you need an mp3 file of the TEXT PARTS of the script read out. Don’t worry, this does not have to be a professional voice-over, it can just be something basic.So you can do this yourself or use an online text to voice software.

Step 3: Dividing the Slides

Now you can start creating slides according to the script. Each slide represents a scene and an idea as outlined in the script. If you have a voice over, you can make some of the words come to life by making them appear in time on the screen. You don’t need to have each word that appears in the script on the stage, but rather chose important words to emphasize certain points.

Step 4: Populate the Slides

Now it’s time to add graphics, background, props, images and characters to your slides. It’s important to convey the message together with the graphic images and as little text as possible, so the audience doesn’t have to sit there reading all the time (unless this is the effect you’re after) and doesn’t get overwhelmed with information.For example: If the problem makes the main character sad, it is enough to display the main character in a sad pose without adding any text.

Step 5: Timing

Now you have to time it all. This is the last step and is actually one that can have a significant effect on the “professional” look and feel of your final result.You can listen to the voice-over running in the background and make sure that all the visual elements reflect what you hear. The more accurate you get this; the more awesome the final result!

•Use facts

• You can record yourself talking about your project or use a third partsound (computerized). Any type of animation is welcome

•If you are going to talk, talk slowly and clearly

•Use simple language avoid complicated and technical words that people arenot familiar with)

•Video Software: There are loads of websites that you can find online and that would help you creating your video. Just make sure to upload your video on Youtube as all we need to receive is the Youtube link
