Do you know what your main objective is?

Is this for teaching? Or part of a larger promotional campaign or initiative? What specific outcome are you hoping to achieve? Avoid ‘fuzzy’ words here, like “to educate”, “to inform”, or even to “increased awareness”. Instead, focus on changes in behavior which can be measured. What would happen because of “increased awareness”?

Do you know who your target audience is?

1. Who are they?
2. Where are they?
3. Anything else we need to know about them?

If everyone is our audience, then nobody is! It’s best to focus on one primary audience per video, although it’s okay to have a secondary or tertiary audience in some cases. If you find that do you have several audiences, it might be a sign that you need several videos.

Do you know what your key message might be?

Your key message(s) should be stated from the perspective of those we’re trying to influence. Answer the question “what’s in it for me?” A clear description of these benefits will help your message not only be understood but acted upon. The goal should be to define one key message per audience. If you’ve more than one key message, it again might be a sign that you need to produce more than one video.

What is your distribution plan for this?

Videos should be contextual and platform-specific, whenever possible. There are several reasons why your videos should be produced with the platform in mind:

• There are different limits in length. Some platforms have limits of 1 minute, while some may be even less.
• Aspect ratios can vary. On Facebook, square or even vertical videos tend to work better than widescreen.
• Silent-auto play is becoming more prevalent. This can mean producing videos that don’t rely on a voice-over to maximize engagement with relying on captions.

Scripting several slight variations of the same video for each intended platform can be a very cost-effective way to maximize the results of your video.

Do you have a preference on tone of voice?

Is this intended to be light-hearted or serious? Friendly or professional? It can be difficult to put this into words, which is why we’ll often ask for examples of any similar videos you’ve seen that you like – or don’t like – to use as a reference for a video’s the style and tone.

This is just a start, and we look forward to collaborating!
