but.. is video the right choice?

• Content– certification? – personal growth?

• Audience– connectivity– attention span– tech-saviness– learning style

• What are your Learning Objectives?

consider microlearning

http://coursmos.squarespace.com/blog/2013/8/31/what-are-micro-courses

aim for 6 minutes or less

• Research at the University of Rochester, 2013 established that the optimal length for online videos is 6 minutes or less

– Average engagement time of any video maxes out at 6 minutes, regardless of its length.

– To maximize student engagement, chunk content into small, bite‐sized pieces.

Video is not difficult anymore

When Richard Dunn found himself alone overnight in Vegas, he made a video with Celine Dion’s 1996 “All By Myself.”

Dunn really did produce the five-minute video all by himself, creatively using moving walkways, escalators and strategically placed luggage tape.

As Dunn explained on his Vimeo page, “I got a person behind a ticket counter to give me a roll of luggage tape before she left. I then found a wheelchair with a tall pole on the back and I taped my iPhone to that.

I put it on the moving walkway for a dolly shot. I also taped my iPhone to the extended handle on my computer bag.

I would tuck different things under the bag to get the right angle. For the escalator shot I had to sprint up the steps after I got my shot so the computer bag didn't hit the top and fall back down…”

scripting

• A script will help you plan out what to say and what to capture while recording.

– It also provides text for captioning later!

• At the very least, create an outline of talking points and what to capture for each segment.

storyboarding• Creating a storyboard – whether simple or elaborate – helps you plan your video

shot by shot.

• You can make changes before you start, instead of changing your mind later.

• You can plan to cover specific points and get specific shots as part of the planning process- instead of kicking yourself for forgetting key points later.

your turnoutline or storyboard at least two 2-6 minute video pieces

capturing better audio

• Use an external mic if your subject is 10 feet away – http://vimeo.com/videoschool/lesson/2/capturing-good-sound

• Turn off or disable notifications that might get captured with the recording

• Before you start recording, listen to ambient sound– Record a little without speaking, then listen to the audio

– Minimize the ambient noise- lights and equipment humming, wind noise etc- as much as possible
