Everything you need to know about remote videos…
Remote videos are a great marketing tool which can help your business. Find out how they could benefit your brand.
What are remote videos?
A remote video is when two or more people have a video call and it is recorded. This could be over FaceTime, Zoom, or on Teams. The footage from this video call is then cut together to create a promotional video. This type of video is perfect for conducting interviews when people can’t meet in person. Most of the things you need to think about for a standard video are still relevant. Think about your camera, lighting, and sound.
How do they work?
Shooting a remote video is similar to doing a live stream. Take some time to plan your video so you get it right. Choose a location that is quiet, well lit, and has a background that won’t be distracting for viewers. Ensure the computer you are using has a high-quality webcam and microphone. Before your video call, make sure everyone is familiar with the talking points.
Benefits
There are many benefits to remote video. Unlike live streaming, you do not have to worry about getting everything right the first time. Because you are recording the video, not broadcasting it live, if someone makes a mistake, you can simply go back and redo it. Another benefit is being able to edit the video. If there are long pauses between speakers due to a poor internet connection, they can be cut out later to make the video look more professional. Lastly, if you have any technical problems, you don’t have to worry about losing views; you can reset and start again.
Top Tips
- Choose the right location
- If you are using Zoom, make sure to select ‘Gallery View’ so the video chat layout doesn’t change for every speaker
- Use QuickTime to record the video call – Open QuickTime, click ‘File’ then ‘New Movie Recording’. This will make sure the video footage is high quality.
