EmailVideo is a powerful, yet not always easy to produce, communicative tool. Learn the best practices for this medium directly from a MSU professional videographer.
According to Insivia, viewers retain 95% of a message when they watch it in a video, compared to 10% when reading it in text. Video is a powerful communicative tool. It can efficiently market your product to customers, educate community members on important issues or convey the details of an upcoming event. However, video is not always easy to produce.
If you’re interested in using video as a tool to communicate with your audiences, the upcoming How to Shoot DIY Professional Video webinar, on March 25, from 10-11 a.m., may be for you. This webinar will present tactics for designing and producing high quality, engaging videos. Kraig Ehm, a professional videographer at Michigan State University, will share best practices while working through a recent video he produced, as a real example.
DIY Professional Videography Program Topics
Ehm will begin the webinar with a focus on design. To communicate effectively with video, you first need to know your target audience. Who are you talking to? That will inform the second aspect of design - the marketing messages you use. What messages will have the best effect on your target audience? Ehm will share his process for designing the marketing messages used in the example video around the intended target audience. There will be time in the webinar for you to consider your target audience and salient marketing messages. For the best results, please reflect on these points in advance.
Ehm will end the webinar with a focus on video production tactics. There are easy tips, tricks, and orientations to get your videos looking more professional without spending a lot of money. Ehm will share these tools with you, using the example video to show these tactics at work. Ehm will discuss how you can re-purpose old video for multiple occasions and channels.
This will be an hour-long webinar, with 40 minutes of presentation and 20 minutes reserved for your questions. Registrants will also be emailed a free copy of Ehm's video production outline.
