Considerations Before You Make a Video
Is Video the Best Medium?
Consider if the information would be more effective presented in a different format, such as a
webpage, a graphic, or another visual medium.
Do You Have Time for a Video?
It takes a lot of hours to plan, shoot, and edit a quality video, many times spread over several
weeks. Start thinking about your video project two or three months ahead.
