So you're ready to create an educational video for your college students! You might be tempted to jump straight to the exciting part (recording, obviously), but don't overlook the importance of a great script - it can make or break your video.
Here are some things to consider:
➡️ Do your research - Zoom in on your audience! Are they business students? Art students? Target your video to meet the needs of your audience.
➡️ Decide on a Key Takeaway - You'll only have a short time - usually 5 to 15 minutes - to make your primary points. Hone your script to really get those points across.
➡️ Test Your Script with College Students - Ask them for honest feedback! Do they appreciate the humor? Does it keep their attention?
➡️ Be Conversational - Using language your students relate to makes the students more likely to connect with your video - which is, after all, the point!
Most importantly, have fun! And if you need some help with your video, NextThought would love to connect with you. Let's start brainstorming!
