Over a month ago I had the great delight of sharing The little book of Video Learning.

This was a project I’d been working on with The Charity Learning Consortium for a few months and one where I discovered so much about how people use video in their organisation.

After speaking to everyone involved, one thing stood out: don’t be afraid to give it a go and learn from the mistakes you make on the way.

There are lots of Top Tips throughout the book, the first being;

Start Small. Start by creating short videos which are easy to shoot and edit.

The different stages of a video project are broken down and delved into detail where I offer advice and more tips to help you create high-quality, low-cost videos to engage your learners.

1. Scripting: Identifying your learning objectives and knowing how to get these across to the viewer using video.
2. Planning: Who and what do you need, how will you capture this when you get to your ‘set’ and what equipment is required? Preparation is key.
3. Filming: Pressing the record button and capturing the footage and/or voice-over.
4. Editing: Creating a high-quality video with music and your organisation’s branding.
5. Publishing: How will you share the video across your organisation and what platforms are available to do this?
