Here's why you need to teach 'On-Camera Video Basics'...
Video content is almost synonymous with online marketing today. And it's not something businesses can avoid.
That means if your clients are not producing video, then they're going to fall behind their competition.
And if they're avoiding showing their faces on-camera in their videos,…
…then they're missing out on one of the easiest ways to build an engaged audience who knows, likes, and trusts them.
But creating effective “talking head” videos isn't quite as simple as having a great idea and hitting ‘record'.
On-Camera video takes a little planning, practice and patience to do well.
And just the thought of being seen and heard on video can be terrifying for people who are new to video. Many of your clients probably struggle to find the confidence to sit and talk in front of a camera lens.
Fortunately, you can help your clients get off to a fast start with on-camera video
The key to producing great on-camera video is to get to grips with the basic elements such as choosing the right equipment, picking the right topics, and refining speech & body language.
Then it's just a matter of taking the plunge and recording.
With our brandable, done-for-you course called On-Camera Video Basics, you can get your clients started with on-camera video by teaching them essential skills that they'll go on to practice and improve on in every great video they make.
Here's what you'll be teaching...
There are modules in the course, with an introduction, and a concluding action plan. The course can easily be delivered as a self-study eBook, membership site resource, online course, live workshop, or any other way you want.
Here's a summary of each module's learning outcomes:
Introduction – How On-Camera, Face-to-Face Video Fits into Your Business
In this first module, you'll discuss the enormous benefits of creating on camera videos, so that your clients recognize exactly what they can achieve once they get past that first video and start getting comfortable on camera. They'll then pick one goal to focus on for creating an on-camera video during the course.
Take One: Set the Stage
In this module, you'll list options for basic and next level equipment, set up and lighting for the right on-camera environment, and other factors that will influence how the final video looks. Understanding how all of the elements work together to impact video recording will help your clients produce a great video with minimal retakes, if any.
Take Two: Choose Your Topic and Draft Your Script Notes
Now that your clients know what equipment they'll use and where they'll record their video, they can decide what they'll talk about and say. In this module you'll explain techniques for selecting the right topics for their business, and how to plan their content so that they'll be comfortable speaking and will get their points across.
Take Three: Hit Record – Tips for Talking, Looking, and Acting
Next, you'll focus on helping your clients get comfortable on camera. You'll cover things like how fast your clients should speak, where to look, facial expressions, and what to do with their hands. Then all they have to do is start recording – practice recording their on camera videos and see where they need to make some adjustments to their set up or speech and behavior mannerisms.
Take Four: Render and Publish Your Video
With their first on-camera video recorded, it’s time to render it and get it in front of your client's audience. In this module, you'll explore some easy options for editing, rendering and hosting, so that your clients have a video that's ready to share with the world.
That’s a Wrap!: Conclusion and Next Steps
In the final module, you'll do a brief recap of everything covered in the course, and then guide your clients through doing some action planning – so that they walk away with a clear picture of what they need to do next to kickstart their on-camera video creation.
