  13. 13. PLANNING @judiknight http://newtricks.com 14
  14. 14. Your Purpose What is the purpose of the video? Business or product promo video for your website. Connect with your target audience Help you to sell online as easily as you can do it in person. @judiknight http://newtricks.com 15
  15. 15. Style What is your brand? The video needs to help you build Know, Like and Trust to create an authentic experience of you and your business/product for your website visitor. @judiknight http://newtricks.com 16
  16. 16. Writing a Script Keep it short Stick to less than 60 seconds. It sounds like a short time until you start to watch it. Write a script and then start weeding it down. You dont have to explain every little thing. People will get a gestalt and only remember the high points anyway. So give them the high points. @judiknight http://newtricks.com 17
  17. 17. Write Your Script What to Include ( not necessarily in this order) Introduce yourself and your business Call out major pain point of target user Explain how your company provides a most excellent solution and gives your target user what they really want or need. Call to action letting them know what to do next. @judiknight http://newtricks.com 18
  18. 18. Scripting the shots Chunk up the script so you can be on camera saying a sentence or two. Intersperse those shots with images or b-roll video with doing voice over that you can read. Find images to use to demonstrate what you are saying. Dont try and memorize it all. @judiknight http://newtricks.com 19
  19. 19. Storyboard Prep Divide the script into sections where you plan to be on camera and where you will do voice over. This allows you to film the sections separately so you can do one or two sentences at a time and then edit them together. You should be on camera when you are introducing yourself. And be on camera at the end when you are making a call to action. @judiknight http://newtricks.com 20

  27. 27. PRODUCTION @judiknight http://newtricks.com 28
  28. 28. Set Up Equipment and Test Choose a location, simple clean background Set your tripod with iPad attached. Set up your lights Check your set with the iPad to see if the background and lighting are right. Clip on your microphone and insert the other end into the iPad. Test the audio. @judiknight http://newtricks.com 29
  29. 29. Set up the Shoot Mount the the iPad on the Tripod horizontally. Place the tripod and iPad to your arms length away. Put the iPad Camera on Selfie view. Adjust yourself in the viewfinder to find the for best height and angle. For shooting. @judiknight http://newtricks.com 30
  30. 30. Set up the Shoot Have your script nearby. Before each section of shooting you can look at the script , get the one or two sentences memorized and shoot that section. Dont bother with a teleprompter. Your eyes will give you away. @judiknight http://newtricks.com 31
  31. 31. Shooting Be prepared to smile before you start and before you end each section. Turn on the video and look at yourself. Tap your nose to get a small yellow box, press your finger on it to focus. Look into the camera lense, Smile . . . Connect Say that section of your lines. Push the button to end the video. @judiknight http://newtricks.com 32
  32. 32. Shooting Go through each section of your script. You can go ahead and film yourself doing the voice over sections but you dont need to make those look good since you can detach the video and just use the audio. You can also wait and do the voice over later if you want. You can do it all without b-roll if you change your position in front of the camera for every other section to help with transitions. @judiknight http://newtricks.com 33
  33. 33. Shoot, Test, Reshoot Shoot some footage and then stop and play it back to make sure the audio is set right and that the video lights are right and that you and your background look good. Finish shooting all of your clips. Check your video clips. @judiknight http://newtricks.com 34
