- TIPS:
- Add media to enhance interest. Additional media in a video production is referred to a B-roll content, and encompasses still images, video clips, and diagrams. Content licensed for re-use or in the public domain is excellent for this purpose.
- Focus on audio quality. High-quality audio is the most effective way to make your production seem professional.
- When recording, start with the end in mind. Try not to lose sight of your goal or stray too far from your original intention.
- Rehearse your script and try to record in small parts. It'll be easier to edit together later.
