8. IDENTIFY YOUR GOALS FOR
YOUR PROMOTIONAL WEB VIDEO
before you begin to produce your promotional web video, you
need to think about what you want the video to accomplish. Some
questions to consider include:
Who is the target audience for your promotional web video?
What will be the tone of your promotional web video? Funny?
Professional? Sincere?
What do you want viewers to do after watching your promotional
web video? Email it to a friend? Call your company? Click for
more information?
9. SET A BUDGET FOR PRODUCING
YOUR PROMOTIONAL WEB VIDEO
Producing a promotional web video is much less expensive than
producing a traditional television commercial. If you’re video-
savvy and not looking for a super-polished video, you may be able
to produce your promotional video yourself for little or no cost.
To produce a high-quality promotional web video, though, you
may want to consult a professional web video production
company for assistance. Many companies work with businesses
to develop, produce and distribute promotional web videos.
10. PLAN YOUR PROMOTIONAL WEB
VIDEO
In the pre-production phase of your promotional web video, you’ll
need to plan out how the video will look and sound. This process
can be very formal, including scriptwriting and mapping out each
frame of the video.
Or, if you want a documentary-style promotional web video, you
can be less formal. Think about what themes you want to
address, what footage you want to capture, and who will act as a
spokesperson in the promotional web video.
If you’re working with a professional production company they can
help you with the planning a scriptwriting process.
