Lesson 1 part II

The most frequent purpose of a promotional video is to provide information. That information can be used to solve a variety of communication needs that the organisation might have, either internal (employee needs) or external (customer needs).

Some typical conventions / current practice:

Use of graphics to impart information

Animated graphics to create / reinforce a brand identity

Music & graphics to segment information

Presenter ‘testimonial’ – the use of a presenter(s) to impart information. The choice of presenter(s) will both reflect the brand identity and appeal to the audience.

Interviews with key stakeholders

Scenarios – the use of narratives or reconstructions to ‘tell a story’ which communicates the videos message.

Voice over narration used to impart information

Music track to create an atmosphere
