These are the steps that I use when putting together promotional videos:

     The First Step: Create a Plan    

It's crucial to establish the goals you're hoping to accomplish prior to investing your time in creating the film.

• Select the goal of your movie. What is the action you wish viewers to experience when they view your film? Take note of them! Make sure you unwind your thoughts before you can do anything else.
• What is the content that you'll need for your video? Include specific pictures or videos you'd like include.
• What are you planning to say? Provide specific promotions events, information about an event coupons, or other calls to take action.

STEP 2 STEP 2 PRODUCE

This is where the vast majority of people are stuck because of lack of tech-related knowledge. However, in reality there is no need for technical skills any more! We create all the videos that we advertise using our phones.

• Locate the perfect place to shoot the video. Use one of our top applications and you'll be able to create an amazing video in just 5 minutes. Five of the most played iPhone video games are Quik, Legend, Stop Motion, Flipagram, Ripl and Boomerang. Certain are free, while others are free. A lot of them even have templates available so there's no need to "design" every aspect. If you're not an expert in technology, it's worth trying Flipagram initially, since it's a basic slideshow.
• Upload the pictures and texts to your application that you prefer. Make sure to only use images that you have taken yourself or those you have consent to utilize. Make sure you don't copy images taken from Google!
• Want music? Certain applications have built-in music beds that can produce amazing sound effects to your video. Be aware that the majority of the songs that you have in the iTunes library have copyrights. It is possible to face costs if embedding the music into your video, but do not have an authorization to use the content. (i.e. you could be that is, the chance of being sued) (i.e. your music uploaded could be blocked and your music could be taken off social media platforms. Gaaahhh!) My favorite place to purchase sound effects or audio can be found at the Audio Jungle.
• After you're done saving the film, you can either save it to the camera roll or send it to yourself directly via the app.

Be aware that if your goal is to post your video to Instagram the video must have a duration of three to sixty minutes. Remember that people's attention spans aren't as long... Thus, ensure that your post is shorter.

If you would like your videos to appear beautiful across every platform, make sure to select the crop that is square. This way, everyone isn't forced to turn their device to see the video.

Here's an example promotional video from my class that I shared to Instagram (about 15 seconds in length):

     STEP 3 3. PROMOTE
