Video Editing Training Videos for Business (Pt. 2)

This post first appeared on https://ift.tt/2bZXxk8

The following blog post Video Editing Training Videos for Business (Pt. 2) is available on: Video One Productions

In part one of "Video Editing Training Videos," we talked about the use of motion graphics, animated text and b-roll. Part two will talk about the importance of audio, audio problems to look out for, lighting and other tips to make your training video engaging.

Audio is as Important as the video!

Audio is an often overlooked ingredient in a training video. Though there are some audio filters you can use, never believe that you can fix bad audio in the post production phase. Filming the presentation without putting a mic on the presenter is not a good idea because chances are that the audio will be bad and distracting. Shooting ‘out of the air’ gives the audio an echoey, tinny and/or otherwise unprofessional sound quality.

However, if you are faced with the task of video editing a training video with bad audio, there is help. As I mentioned, there are audio filters that can tweak the audio to some degree, but unless you have a sound studio at your disposal, the audio will never sound natural or as good as it would if you used a proper lavaliere mic for the speaker.

Audio problems that could occur during video production

Intermittent room sounds. When shooting indoors, be aware of the possibility of a fan, heater, air conditioner, or some motorized machine making noise. Perhaps the speaker was away from the noisy offender, but the videographer might not have been. So good news is that the speaker didn’t have any background noise, but the mic on the camera picked up noise that was close to the videographer. This is more of a problem when shooting out of the air, than with a mic. However, even when you have a mic and you are getting a direct feed into the camera, never assume that the audio will be good or stay good. The only way to know for certain that the audio is good is to monitor the sound throughout the filming.

Intermittent external sounds. Uncontrollable sounds such as planes, trains and cars can cause a distraction, particularly if you’re not using a lavaliere mic. The best you might be able to do is position the speaker away from source of the sounds to minimize the disturbance.

Constant sounds.If you discover that there is a constant, unwanted sound in your audio, you may be in luck. Sort of. If it’s constant, you might try using an audio filter to eliminate that portion of the sound. The problem is that it could eliminate or distort other audio that you actually want in the video.

One of the ways to prevent or short circuit audio problems is to use headphones or have a dedicated audio person monitoring the sound. If someone has the sole job of monitoring sound, you can bet that they will hear things that no one else will hear during the shoot. If it’s a controlled shoot, where you can retake a shot, the audio person can yell ‘cut’ and you’ll have a chance to get the shot again – without the distracting sound. The trouble is that if you don’t wear headphones or have that sound person, everyone will hear the sound problem after your video is edited – which you don’t need in a training video or any other type of video production for that matter!

Lights, camera, action!

Lighting is, obviously, an incredibly important part of production and editing. If the footage is under-lit, it will distract from your overall video. This is sometimes an issue when filming a training session with PowerPoint slides. Everything is well lit when the speaker starts his or her presentation. But shortly afterwards, someone turns down the lights! Yikes! Where did the speaker go?

The obvious way to prevent this from happening to you is to discuss the lighting situation beforehand. Perhaps you can light the room half way, where it’s still good enough to see the presenter, but also good enough to watch the slides.

One way to deal with this is to have the lights on so that the presenter is well lit, but just shoot the PowerPoint for reference and edit the slides in later.

If you do have to brighten up some video, it is possible with filters, but when you brighten up the image, you lose some resolution. So it’s best to think through the lighting before the shoot, rather than trying to fix something in post production.

So as you can see, there are many issues that can come up when filming your training videos. Aside from preventing them and dealing with them as they occur in post production, there are other ways to make your training video the best it can be.

Make your training video fun

You can use actors to role play. John Cleese from Monty Python’s Flying Circus had a company called Film Arts that used to produce lots of training videos. One thing they did was to show what not to do and then show what to do. This was a very effective approach, as the ‘not to do’ portion of the video was often hysterical and though exaggerated, made the point of what not to do. Then they’d show what to do just to make sure people got it. This is a great technique to use, especially for customer service training videos.

Another idea could be to have popup over people’s heads to show what they are supposedly thinking. Or use on screen text to ask questions. Perhaps freeze the frame and superimpose questions for the viewer to ponder.

If you are considering creating training videos for your business and need assistance, contact Video One Productions at (773) 252-3352 or [email protected].

UP CLOSE & PERSONAL – BRIAN TAYLOR

Today I’m joined by Mr Brian Taylor from Axiom Solutions. Brian’s also known as the ISO guy and his business helps other small businesses install systems like ISO 9001to help them become more profitable, help them win bigger contracts and be more organised. Brian also lectures in the university, and in his spare time he does a lot of paddle boarding, he’s a very keen guitarist and singer and also teaches martial arts. He’s lives in Barry South Wales with his wife and 2 grown up kids. So, how are you doing Brian?

Andy Stace: Who is Brian Taylor?

Brian Taylor: I’m the sort of person who likes to get involved in all different kinds of things. I can get bored easily, so if you spoke to any of my friends, they’d tell you that I’m always doing something and seem to be rushing around all of the time. Nobody can believe how much I do as I have a number of different interests. I play music, practice and perform and so have a circle of friends who are just musicians. I do stand-up paddle boarding, so I’ve got a group of friends that do paddle boarding and surfing. I’ve also got friends I’ve had for many years from when I used to be in the Lifeguards, we’ve all sort of stuck together, basically everybody worked down the leisure centre. So that’s the leisure centre crew. I’ve done Taekwondo since 1980, so I’ve got friends from Taekwondo. I also get involved in local things. I’m on a management committee for a water front development project for the community, so I have people I associate with there. I used to do Bootcamp, but I haven’t trained for a while. They gave me the nick name, ‘The General’ because they said I was like the General of Barry as I’d be sat there saying, “hiya” hiya”, hiya” and talking to people all of the time. I helped a lot of people just by making connections. So, I’m a very friendly person who likes to try lots of different things, but I’m very lazy.

AS: You don’t sound lazy mate.

BT: This is the great thing; I feel like I’m a really lazy person and I can’t be arsed to do stuff but then I’ll get on with it.

AS: It’s difficult sometimes when you’re so driven that you do so many things to always think that there’s still so much that you can do. Most entrepreneurs are like that.

BT: That’s good then . . . I’m an entrepreneur and I’ve worked for myself since I was 34.

AS: Ok. Where do you live?

BT: I live in Barry just outside Cardiff in South Wales and I’m very lucky because I live on the coast. I love the water, hence the paddle boarding and all that sort of stuff. I was born in Cardiff and haven’t really moved around. I went to university in Cardiff for both degrees and I remember walking up the street when I got my degree and I thought I’m walking up the same street I did when I was 10 years old going to school. Then thought, “God you’re being very adventurous”, when other people went to University. Ironically, I went back and did a master’s and my next job then was in Llanelli, so I travelled there every day. The next job was in London and I hated staying up there, so I travelled to London every day. Then it was Cheltenham and then I looked back, and I thought, why don’t I just keep my mouth shut and have a lovely little job down on the corner that I love. So, yea I’m from Barry, born in Cardiff but basically this is where everything is.

AS: Cool. So, wife, kids?

BT: Yes. Wife Lisa, been married 24 years and been together 30 years. I met her at Taekwondo. She’d just joined, and I was just about to do my black belt I think, so I ended up instructing her. She worked down the leisure centre which started the collection of all the friends who we used to go out with all of the time. She’s 9 years younger than me and we once did a show where they spent the whole day editing different aspects of our lives, a games show. When they edited it the editor came out and said, “so why did you marry your wife”? I said because when I met her, she was 9 years younger than me and she was an aerobics instructor . . . That’s all that came out, so it was highly edited. But yes, I mean, she’s 9 years younger than me, she’s into her fitness, now into her golf big time.

AS: Who’d win a Taekwondo fight out of you and your Mrs?

BT: Ask her and she’ll say, her . . . Ask me and I’ll say her. Lisa’s one of these people, when she was a blue belt there was a tournament going on that was for black belts only. It was England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales fighting each other, we didn’t have enough fighters, so they just put a black belt on her and put her up against an Irish 4th dan world champion, so they chucked Lisa up just to sacrifice her, and they drew.

AS: Wow!

BT: She’s got more sparring trophies than me, as she keeps reminding me, because she’s just very, very competitive and aggressive. I’ve got more for patterns than her because I’m more delicate than she is. Yea, so we’ve been together for 30 years and got 2 children. Joshua who’ll be 23 in November, who got his degree in police science last year, he was a special, but he had to pack that in to go to Camp America, he was basically a lifeguard, he’s got a powerboat license and a safety boat. He’s hoping to get back in now. And I’ve got my daughter Caitlin who turned 18 last week, who’s into performing arts. She’s very much into acting, singing and in fact up until last year we used to do a lot of gigs where she’d sing, and I’d play the guitar . . . and I’m a much better guitar player when I don’t have to sing. And it was great because she has a fantastic voice, but she just doesn’t enjoy it. I’m sure she’ll come back to it. My wife’s football mad. She loves football. A Liverpool supporter. Josh referees for the Football Association of Wales, he’s on the development squad, he refereed Cardiff City in Taff Wells charity game the other day when 3,000 were watching. So, he’s taught to a relatively high level. This has always been the joke, when the kids were younger, because I’m more musical, I used to take Caitlin to dance and Lisa used to take Josh to football. Traditionally it would be the other way around.

AS: Not a conventional family then, that’s good.

BT: No, but it’s quite nice, we still enjoy each other’s company. We end up going to the cinema together and things like that. I’ve got adult children that actually speak to me, so as somebody said once, that’s successful.

AS: Brilliant. Sounds like a great family life. . . . So, onto your business then, what inspired you run your business? Why did you start up on your own?

BT: It’s really interesting because I always said to myself that I’d get married when I’m 33, I’ll marry somebody who’s 6 years younger than me (I was out by 3), and I always wanted to work for myself, I don’t know why and as I said, I was 34. Basically, it was because I wasn’t happy, and Lisa bought this book. There was also a television programme on in about ’95 on different kinds of happiness. They talked about drilling holes in your head, Angus Deayton did it. She bought me the book on that, but Tony Robbins was on it. I bought the book Unlimited Power and I started reading it and thought . . . I just want to work for myself, I’m not happy with my job. It was quite interesting as I was going around all Welsh companies giving them advice on quality and stuff, but I wanted to work for myself. I went for a walk with the dog at 6 o’clock in the morning and thought, I just need to do it. I was listening to one of the tapes I’d bought, and it said, “just make a decision”. Josh was 6 months old at the time and I just walked into the office and resigned. I’d had inclines that I could do work with other people, so I just resigned. That was it. I wanted to control my own destiny as it were.

AS: How long did it take you get started in term of actually bringing some work in?

BT: I had a really good reputation, so virtually straight away. I had a £6,000 contract and I set up a £20,000 overdraft with the bank just in case. But what I did have, I managed to get access to the old Video Arts, John Cleese video type things and be the sole distributor for Wales. To be honest I was earning money straight away because I had one or two contracts and then with my contacts, I went around picking up work. I’ve never really marketed myself. People tend to come to me or I get recommended or I become an authority figure for example Business Wales or The Welsh Assembly. . . .

As the nights draw in, it just means more time to enjoy late-September / October's superb lineup from Arrow Video, including some wonderful Halloween treats in the form of a grindhouse classic, an Oscar-winning British comedy classic, classic horror from Stephen King, several superb Italian films, and a blaxploitation chiller. Lavishly packaged and including limited edition items, Christmas has come early for film collectors! Featuring stellar performances from Linda Hamilton (Terminator) and Peter Horton (thirtysomething) and based on a short story by Stephen King, The Children of the Corn is a horror classic that has spawned multiple sequels and imitators, but none as harrowing as this masterpiece of horror. The Dual Format debut of The Suspicious Death of a Minor, a 1975 giallo/'poliziotteschi' hybrid, from the great Sergio Martino (All the Colours of the Dark, Torso) arrives on October 3rd. With a cast that includes Mel Ferrer (Nightmare City), Barbara Magnolfi (Suspiria) and Jenny Tamburi (The Psychic), the lurid murder-mystery sees a cop on the trail of a Milanese criminal gang, and the Dual Format release includes a brand new 2K restoration of the film from the original camera negative, produced exclusively by Arrow Video. October 3rd sees the Blu-ray release of A Fish Called Wanda, the hilarious and irresistible farce from 1988, starring John Cleese, Michael Palin, Jamie Lee Curtis and Kevin Kline . A box office smash, nominated for three Academy Awards (winning one for Kline's outstanding supporting turn as the psychotic Otto), A Fish Called Wanda has stood the test of time and can be rightfully called a comedy classic. The 3rd also sees the release of a superior Italian thriller. First, deemed shocking at the time for its brutal violence, depiction of the Catholic Church and themes of child murder and paedophilia, Don't Torture a Duckling is widely regarded today as Fulci's greatest film, rivalling the best of his close rival Dario Argento. Arrow Video is proud to present this uniquely chilling film in its North American high definition debut. From Lucio Fulci, the godfather of gore (The Psychic, The Beyond), comes one of the most powerful and unsettling giallo thrillers ever produced. Next up this month is Blood Feast, a brand new restoration of the ground-breaking splatter classic from the Godfather of Gore, Herschell Gordon Lewis, the wonderfully lurid story of an insane caterer killing young women and stealing body parts as part of a ritual to reanimate an Egyptian goddess. The disc also includes late, great Lewis's Sixties sleaze-fest Scum of the Earth. Just in time for Halloween is a stunning UK DVD and Blu-ray debut of of the blaxploitation favourite JD's Revenge, about a man possessed by the spirit of a murderous gangster. Featuring Academy Award-winner Louis Gossett Jr (An Officer and a Gentleman), this is alternately tough and terrifying - a Blaxploitation gem waiting to be rediscovered. And last but certainly not least, is the swansong of the great Italian filmmaker Federico Fellini (La dolce vita, 8½), The Voice of the Moon. This new restoration from the original negative seeks to right that wrong and provide the film with a second chance. Concluding a career that had stretched back more than fifty years, The Voice of the Moon combines the nostalgia of Amarcord, the surreal satire of City of Women and the naïf-adrift-in-a-brutal-world structure of La strada... Plenty for Fellini fans to get their teeth into.

Children Of The Corn [Blu-ray] (9/26)

From the mind of celebrated horror author Stephen King, the man behind such classic terror tales as The Shining, Carrie and It, comes one of his most chilling offerings yet - Children of the Corn. A young couple on a road trip find themselves lost in the backroads of rural Nebraska, eventually winding up in the seemingly abandoned town of Gatlin. But the town is far from empty - as the pair soon discover, it's inhabited by a twisted cult of murderous children thirsty for another blood sacrifice... Adapted from King's eponymous short story first published in 1977 and starring Linda Hamilton (The Terminator), Children of the Corn has gone on to spawn one of the most enduring horror franchises of all time. Features - Brand new 2K restoration from the original camera negative - High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation - Original stereo and 5.1 DTS-HD MA audio options - Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing - Brand new audio commentary with horror journalist Justin Beahm and Children of the Corn historian John Sullivan - Audio commentary with director Fritz Kiersch, producer Terrence Kirby and actors John Franklin and Courtney Gains - Harvesting Horror - retrospective documentary featuring interviews with Fritz Kiersch, John Franklin and Courtney Gains - It Was the Eighties! - an interview with actress Linda Hamilton - ...And a Child Shall Lead Them - a brand new interview with actors Julie Maddalena and John Philbin - Field of Nightmares - a brand new interview with writer George Goldsmith - Stephen King on a Shoestring - an interview with producer Donald P.

In the wake of the success of Dario Argento's ground-breaking giallo The Bird with the Crystal Plumage, numerous other directors stepped forward to try their hand at these lurid murder-mysteries. At the forefront was Sergio Martino (The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh, Torso), whose sensual 70s thrillers starring Edwige Fenech and George Hilton are widely celebrated as some of the best the genre has to offer. The final of Martino's six gialli, The Suspicious Death of a Minor combines conventional giallo trappings with elements of the then flourishing 'poliziotteschi' crime thrillers. Claudio Cassinelli (What Have They Done to Your Daughters?) stars as undercover cop Paolo Germi, on the trail of a Milanese criminal outfit following the brutal murder of an underage prostitute. But a killer-for-hire is also on the prowl, bumping off witnesses before they have a chance to talk... Also starring Mel Ferrer (Nightmare City), Barbara Magnolfi (Suspiria) and Jenny Tamburi (The Psychic), and featuring a script by veteran giallo writer Ernesto Gastaldi (All the Colors of the Dark, Death Walks at Midnight), this unique and lesser-known entry in Martino's filmography serves as an essential link between two different movements in Italian popular cinema. Features - Brand new 2K restoration of the film from the original camera negative produced by Arrow Video exclusively for this release - High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) and Standard Definition DVD presentations - Original mono Italian and English soundtracks (lossless on the Blu-ray Disc) - English subtitles for the Italian soundtrack - Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing for the English soundtrack - New audio commentary by Troy Howarth, author of So Deadly, So Perverse: 50 Years of Italian Giallo Films - New interviews with director Sergio Martino and cinematographer Giancarlo Ferrando - Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Chris Malbon Pre-order at MVDshop.com or on Amazon

A Fish Called Wanda [Blu-ray] (10/3) In 1988, John Cleese, former Python and the mastermind behind Fawlty Towers, teamed up with the veteran Ealing Comedy director Charles Crichton (The Lavender Hill Mob) to produce another classic of British comedy. Cleese plays Archie Leach, a weak-willed barrister who finds himself embroiled with a quartet of ill-matched jewel thieves - two American con artists played by Jamie Lee Curtis and Kevin Kline, Michael Palin's animal-loving hitman and London gangster Tom Georgeson - when Georgeson is arrested. Only he and Palin know the whereabouts of the diamonds, prompting plenty of farce and in-fighting as well as some embarrassing nudity and the unfortunate demise of some innocent pooches... Nominated for three Academy Awards and winning one for Kline's outstanding supporting turn as the psychopathic Otto, A Fish Called Wanda has stood the test of time, earning its rightful place among its creators' remarkable comedy pedigree. Features - Brand-new 4K restoration from the original negative, produced by Arrow Films exclusively for this release - High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation - Original English mono audio (uncompressed LPCM) - Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing - Commentary by writer and star John Cleese - Brand-new appreciation by Vic Pratt of the BFI National Archive - Brand-new interviews with composer John Du Prez, production designer Roger Murray Leach, executive producer Steve Abbott and makeup supervisor Paul Engelen - John Cleese's Final Farewell Performance, a 1988 documentary on the making of A Fish Called Wanda featuring interviews with actors Cleese, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Palin, Kevin Kline and director Charles Crichton - Something Fishy, a 15th anniversary retrospective documentary featuring interviews with Cleese, Curtis, Kline and Palin, executive producer Steve Abbott and director of photography Alan Hume - Fish You Were Here, a documentary on the film's locations hosted by Robert Powell - 24 deleted/alternative scenes with introductions by Cleese - A Message from John Cleese, a tongue-in-cheek introduction recorded for the film's original release - Gallery - Trivia track - Theatrical trailer FIRST PRESSING ONLY: Booklet featuring writing on the film by Sophie Monks Kaufman Pre-order at MVDshop.com or on Amazon Don't Torture A Duckling [Dual Format] (10/3)

From Lucio Fulci, the godfather of gore (The Psychic, The Beyond), comes one of the most powerful and unsettling giallo thrillers ever produced: his 1972 masterpiece Don't Torture a Duckling. When the sleepy rural village of Accendura is rocked by a series of murders of young boys, the superstitious locals are quick to apportion blame, with the suspects including the local "witch", Maciara (Florinda Bolkan, A Lizard in a Woman's Skin). With the bodies piling up and the community gripped by panic and a thirst for bloody vengeance, two outsiders - city journalist Andrea (Tomas Milian, The Four of the Apocalypse) and spoilt rich girl Patrizia (Barbara Bouchet, The Red Queen Kills Seven Times) - team up to crack the case. But before the mystery is solved, more blood will have been spilled, and not all of it belonging to innocents... Deemed shocking at the time for its brutal violence, depiction of the Catholic Church and themes of child murder and paedophilia, Don't Torture a Duckling is widely regarded today as Fulci's greatest film, rivalling the best of his close rival Dario Argento. Arrow Video is proud to present this uniquely chilling film in its North American high definition debut.

Blood Feast [Dual Format] (10/10) The filmography of late movie maverick Herschell Gordon Lewis brims with the mad, macabre, and just downright bizarre. But perhaps the most unhinged of all his directorial efforts, and certainly the most influential, must surely be his original gore-fest Blood Feast - the first ever splatter movie. Dorothy Fremont is looking to throw a party unlike any other, and she gets just that when she hires the decidedly sinister Fuad Ramses to cater the event. Promising to provide her guests with an authentic Egyptian feast, Ramses promptly sets about acquiring the necessary ingredients - the body parts of nubile young women! Featuring a host of stomach-churning gore gags including the infamous tongue sequence and much more nastiness besides, Herschell Gordon Lewis' Blood Feast more than lives up to its name and remains essential viewing for any self-respecting splatter fan. Features - High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) and Standard DVD presentations - English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing - Scum of the Earth - Herschelll Gordon Lewis' 1963 feature - Blood Perspectives - Filmmakers Nicholas McCarthy and Rodney Ascher on Blood Feast - Herschell's History - Archival interview in which director Herschell Gordon Lewis discusses his entry into the film industry - How Herschell Found his Niche - A new interview with Lewis discussing his early work - Archival interview with Lewis and David F.

It wasn't long before the Blaxploitation boom moved into the horror market, bringing the world Blacula, Blackenstein, Abby (Blaxploitation's The Exorcist) and cult favorite J.D.'s Revenge. Law student Ike is enjoying a night on the town with his friends when his life changes dramatically. Taking part in a nightclub hypnosis act, he becomes possessed with the spirit of a violent gangster murdered in the 1940s. Believing himself to be the reincarnation of murderous J.D., Ike launches a revenge campaign against those who had done 'him' wrong all those years ago... Directed by Arthur Marks (Bucktown, Friday Foster) and starring Glynn Turman (Cooley High) and Academy Award-winner Louis Gossett Jr. (An Officer and a Gentleman), J.D.'s Revenge is a alternately tough and terrifying - a Blaxploitation gem waiting to be rediscovered! Features - Brand new 2K restoration from original film elements, produced by Arrow Films exclusively for this release - High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation - Original 1.0 mono sound - Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing - Brand new interview with producer-director Arthur Marks - More interviews to be announced! - Original theatrical trailer - Arthur Marks trailer reel - Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Sean Phillips FIRST PRESSING ONLY: Collector's booklet containing new writing by Kim Newman, author of Nightmare Movies Pre-order at MVDshop.com or on Amazon

The Voice Of the Moon [Dual Format] (10/31) The swansong of the great Italian filmmaker Federico Fellini (La dolce vita, 8½), The Voice of the Moon emerged without fanfare: it played the Cannes Film Festival out of competition after its Italian premiere and failed to secure distribution in North America and the UK. This new restoration from the original negative seeks to right that wrong and provide the film with a second chance... Adapted from a novel by Ermano Cavazzoni, The Voice of the Moon concerns itself with Ivo Salvini (Roberto Benigni, Life Is Beautiful), recently released from a mental hospital and in love with Aldini (Nadia Ottaviani). As he attempts to win her heart, he wanders a strange, dreamlike landscape and encounters various oddball characters, including Gonnella (Paolo Villagio, Fantozzi), a paranoid old man prone to conspiracy theories. Concluding a career that had stretched back more than fifty years, The Voice of the Moon combines the nostalgia of Amarcord (the film is set in Emilia-Romagna countryside of the director's youth), the surreal satire of City of Women and the naïf-adrift-in-a-brutal-world structure of La strada. Plenty for Fellini fans to get their teeth into. Features - Brand new 2K restoration from original film elements, produced by Arrow Films exclusively for this release - High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) and Standard Definition DVD presentations - Original 1.0 mono sound (uncompressed on the Blu-ray) - Optional English subtitles - Towards the Moon with Fellini, a rarely seen hour-long documentary on the film's production, featuring interviews with Fellini, Roberto Benigni and Paolo Villagio - Theatrical trailer - Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Peter Strain FIRST PRESSING ONLY: Illustrated collector's booklet featuring new writing on the film by Pasquale Iannone Pre-order at MVDshop.com or on Amazon

Audio is as Important as the video!

Audio problems that could occur during video production

One of the ways to prevent or short circuit audio problems is to use headphones or have a dedicated audio person monitoring the sound. If someone has the sole job of monitoring sound, you can bet that they will hear things that no one else will hear during the shoot. If it’s a controlled shoot, where you can retake a shot, the audio person can yell ‘cut’ and you’ll have a chance to get the shot again �� without the distracting sound. The trouble is that if you don’t wear headphones or have that sound person, everyone will hear the sound problem after your video is edited – which you don’t need in a training video or any other type of video production for that matter!

Lights, camera, action!

One way to deal with this is to have the lights on so that the presenter is well lit, but just shoot the PowerPoint for reference and edit the slides in later.

Make your training video fun
