Storytelling in Video: Aspects of an Engaging Production / for #mcn2015Sarah Wambold
Telling great stories in video requires good execution on many fronts. Museum professionals—some filmmakers in the their own right—discuss various aspects and considerations for making the most in the medium. Denver-based consultant Sarah Wambold (currently at Clyfford Still Museum, and formerly at MCA Chicago) focuses on pre-production considerations, scripting, and interview techniques. Andrew Mandinach from the Balboa Park Online Collaborative focuses on production, b-roll, and visual storytelling. Andy Underwood-Bultmann from the Walker Art Center discusses post-production, editing for story, and expanding modes for storytelling. Sarah Waldorf from The Getty discusses strategizing and aligning video content for distribution with social media platforms, including using GIFS and micro-videos. Each speaker presents on best practices as well as aspects and learnings from his or her own work.
For the MCN 2015 conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Make Your video Work For You - PRSA International 2017 Steven Norris
he inclusion of video in reporters’ stories continues to increase. Georgia Tech’s media relations team has found repeated success coupling press releases and media pitches with video packages. Of the 10 most viewed videos on our YouTube channel, seven were produced to support press releases (each with 100,000+ views). The videos are creative and varied — often with researchers on camera explaining their findings, sometimes alongside our media team. They are never “talking heads” and always include b-roll. Video also is integral to the success of our social media team, which is ranked nationally among American colleges. In 2016, seven of the 10 top posts were live feeds or video (each with 300,000+ views). Our social media live shots take audiences behind the scenes, providing an experience unique to our institution’s brand. Our presentation will expand on these strategies to explain when incorporating video is the correct approach. We will focus on how to prepare researchers to be on camera, quick tips on equipment and setup, and how to choose sound bites and b-roll. It’s possible to produce video without a long turnaround time when you have personnel with the right skills. We also will discuss the tactics that have landed placement in top-tier outlets such as _The New York Times _and “The Today Show.” Finally, we’ll explore how video influences our social media engagements, taking a closer look at gifs, short video segments and live elements.
Learn how and when to use video:
Not all press releases need video. In fact, video can be a waste of time if not strategically positioned with media outreach. We will discuss why “talking head” videos have very limited appeal to reporters, the ideal length for videos and the best sound bites to choose. Video should not regurgitate a press release; it must enhance the written component. We also will discuss quick tips about lighting and audio, and a range of equipment options.
Pitching video to media:
We will outline strategies that have been successfully used by Georgia Tech to land top-tier media placement. We’ll show how a video link or photo can be used to avoid the email PR folks dread to write: “Did you get my email?” Also, reporters must see the value of including your video in their story. A PR professional must be flexible to provide additional and/or raw video. We’ll discuss ways to share this content.
Using video in social media:
Just because a video is successful with reporters doesn’t mean it’s ideal for social media. Sometimes a new, shorter or more focused video is necessary. Sound isn’t a requirement, and a gif could be the best way to share on social. Attendees will learn when to use which type of content as well as the value of Facebook Live. Here’s a hint: Don’t do it just for the sake of saying you did.

3. A speaker is “a shoo-in” if they catch me from the
beginning of their demo video and I want to do
something different with my life because I watched it.
“If they can do that in five minutes, then what can they
do in an hour on my stage?” - Julie May
1. Grab Attention and Add Value
4. In the world of entertainment production, “beginnings
and endings” are the most important part of any
production. - Jane Atkinson, Wealthy Speaker 2.0
2. Open Strong and Finish Great
5. These sizzle reels have a grand intro complete with
music and swooshing titles, overplayed testimonials,
and clips of their talks. We decided to get rid of that
and just use a clip of a story. … We can directly trace
the video back to at least 10 bookings.
- Scott Stratten, UnMarketing: Everything Has Changed
and Nothing is Different
3. Tell a story
6. You too might have a really inspiring story and lots of
useful lessons, but if the audience isn’t entertained,
you’ll most likely not get booked.
- Jeremy Poincenot, inspirational speaker and coach
4. Be Entertaining
7. “If you can make your viewing audience laugh within
the first seconds of your video, then your chances of
being booked goes up.
