18. The Video Campaign Process

19. WHY? Where to Start Why do you want to do a video campaign?
How does it fit in with the rest of the campaign?
*SAM can help.

20. Ask yourself questions…*
Who is your audience? (Students? Parents? Staff?)
What is the purpose?(Event? Awareness? Brand?)
How do you want it to ‘feel’? What is the tone/voice?
How will it be viewed? (Online?, Presentation? TVs?)
What action do you want the audience to take or feel?
What is your overall message?
*SAM can help.

21. Don’t Go it Alone…* Focus Groups
Cannot Emphasize enough the importance of FEEDBACK FROM YOUR INTENDED AUDIENCE.
Go through the answers to your questions and overall message and make sure you are on the right track and sending the most effective message for your end result.
*SAM can help.

23. What a Difference a Difference Makes
What makes your event/resource/idea DIFFERENT than what else exists for your audience?

24. Developing your story…
Keep it simple:
The more you say to an audience, the less they hear.
Stick to a simple story that leads to a resolution based on your memorable punch line/brand/action.

25. 3 Act Story Structure Set Up Journey
Beginning, Middle, & End
Set Up
Journey
Resolution/Take Away “Feel” or “Do”

26. Where you Begin is where you end.
Think Backwards
You begin at the end because where you are going will inform you how you get there.

27. Invent Your ‘Hook’…
Once you have your basic storyline with a beginning, middle, and end, you need to make sure you have a hook: the thing that's going to pique audience curiosity and make them stick around long enough to view the entire presentation.
Examples: humor, empathy, energy
