Anatomy of a Training Video. First draft plan for each 3-5 minute Packt training video. I crave your feedback.
This is my plan for how to structure a 3-5 minute “how to” training video. Each video will form part of a series of videos that makes up a course.
The structure ensures that:- The reader gets a clear idea of what they’re going to achieve and why in the first 20 seconds.
- The instructional steps are clustered into logical groups, to make the steps more meaningful and memorable. And you have no more than 20 seconds before the steps begin.
- The video ends by reminding the viewer what they did and why it was worthwhile, and then encourages them to keep learning. Again this is just a 10-20 second wrap up.
I’m hoping this will make the videos more accessible and useful than a straight, unstructured “do this, then this” screencast. We’ll see…
