Some tips for making your videos great:
- Get Ready: Make sure people are ready to be filmed. They should be happy, comfortable, and given enough time to practice before you begin recording
- Get Comfortable: Get people comfortable with the questions before you film them and don’t worry about them going off script slightly.
- Get Rid of Question and Answer: We want to avoid having back-and-forth on the questions being recorded in the video. Go over the questions with people before rather than going back and forth in a Q&A. If they miss a question, that’s fine. Get a full clip with them telling their story.
- Get to the Question: Focus people on answering the questions as part of their testimonial e.g. “I think it’s important to address climate change because we’re using up the earth natural resources and leaving an unsustainable future for our children.” “I believe we need to transition to a clean energy future so that we can create millions of good-paying jobs that can’t be shipped overseas.” “I think our leaders need to act now because before too long it’s going to be too late.” People’s instinct will be to answer the questions: force them to recite the questions in their answer
- Get it Right: If people make a mistake, it’s natural. Let them start over and delete the clip later. If it takes a few takes, it’s worth it. Don’t strive to be perfect, but don’t be afraid to do a second take
