GOOD CONTENT IS KING!
•What makes a great web video?
Strong character: Who is appearing on camera? Are they funny, animated, interesting, charismatic, likeable, trustworthy?
Good Lighting: Save time and $ by using natural light. Well lit locations with the right backgrounds. Dark faces, dark places and dark settings do not work.
Good Sound: Audio is central. Background noise, echoes, can muck it up.
Motion: People in motion are a better alternative to talking heads. Sit down interviews have their place but long talking-head diatribes are deadly.
Shoot plenty of related, insightful and fun b-roll: Beauty shots, action, people, city/street scenes, details, etc.
WHAT MAKES A GREAT WEB VIDEO
More Visuals: Add archival, pictures and graphics work, if it gives you a fun break from video speeches or gives the piece depth.
Pacing is crucial: Whereas TV is a "lean back" experience, web video is "lean forward" and viewers are expecting to be constantly engaged. Web video must be well-paced or your viewer may click elsewhere.
A strong story: Include a narrative, no matter the subject.
The Grabber: Each video should include one insightful or personal shot or line; the hook, the grabber.
People being real and personal: Not canned, overly scripted or over-prepped. Authentic messages are the key.
