Tips For Making Company Videos Emotionally Engaging Read more on: MD Internet Marketing Solutions SEO Service Almost everyone knows that emotionally charged marketing videos have a far greater impact on viewers than boring videos with someone just standing there talking. An emotionally charged video can mean the difference between the viewer taking action, i.e. calling for your services or filling their online shopping cart, or just clicking the back button to go to someone else's site or video. In this short article we will cover 2 very simple things that you can do to help make your company marketing videos more engaging. Make Use Of B Roll FootageThe first thing that you can do in creating more emotion is by using what's called in the business as "B-Roll". What is B roll? The real short answer is additional footage inserted as a cutaway to help tell a story. For instance, let's say you own a roofing company. While you may have yourself or a spokesperson in front of the camera talking about how your company replaces a roof you carefully inspect all of the underlying decking. While you are talking this would be a good time to cut away to footage of your crew that actually has the shingles stripped from the roof and are inspecting the decking. Basically you can use B roll to just get your message across by VISUALLY explaining and keep changing what's on the screen to help keep the viewer engaged. If you are new to creating videos it can be hard to figure out what would make good B roll for you to use. Michael Maher wrote an article on shutterstock that can help you with making b roll of the person you are interviewing for your video:
In that article Michael has some pretty good tips for getting b roll of the interviewee. But we think and know there are a lot more ways to get good b roll for your video. At Indiewire.com they recently posted this about other great ideas for getting b roll:
So those examples will give you some good ideas and starting points as to where and what to make your b roll shots of for your company video. Add Some Great MusicThe second thing to help make your marketing videos more engaging - MUSIC! We know we have mentioned this before in other posts, but it bares repeating. Take a horror flick for instance. There is always some dumb ass kid that is wondering around a haunted house and is getting ready to peak around the corner. How ominous would the scene be without the scary music? The same goes with your company videos, although you may not want to use scary music from a horror flick! So how do you go about selecting the perfect sound clip for your video? Here is a good snippet from an article done by Danny Greer at PremiumBeat.com:
Danny has some great tips about picking the right music for your video. We especially like his advice of making a rough edit and then finishing the video and making the video "match up" to the music. One word of caution - don't pick just any music to add to your video. Make sure you have the correct license and permission to use the music. Failure to do this can result in a couple of things happening, which are rather unwanted. One, YouTube will recognize that the music is copyrighted and allow advertisements on your video. The advertisements can and probably will be your competition! Secondly, repeated copyright infringements can get your videos deleted and your channel deleted by YouTube. There are several places that you can get totally royalty free music on the web. The YouTube audio library is one, just check if there is attribution required. You can also do a Google search to find a lot of places where you can get music. So there you have it. The top 2 ways to make your company's marketing videos more engaging. Just add some B roll and music and your videos should produce more sales and calls versus your competition that fails to use them :) via Blogger Tips For Making Company Videos Emotionally Engaging Comments are closed.
