Video Shot List
ShotDescriptionLength
1
Intro
00:05Very quickly introduce yourself and let them know how you found them. No more than 5-6 seconds
2
Context
00:07Tell them why you’re reaching out. It’s best to tie this to THEIR professional activity, company news/priorities or postings on LinkedIn.
3
Benefit
00:08Explain how your solution can address their issue. It’s best to have a quantified claim like: “our customers like you lower service costs by 20% on average.” Or state something magical or innovative about your solution.
4
How It Works
00:08Be brief. Your goal isn’t to go into detail; it’s to get the meeting. So just give a brief overview - enough to intrigue them, but leave them wanting more. Show a bit of the product if appropriate. Add a shot if needed.
5
Call To Action
00:07Tell them you’d love to chat briefly and show them how it could work for them. Ask for a very short discussion (15 minutes).
6
Final Thought
00:08Leave them with your most impressive claim: high profile customers or investors, quantified outcomes, growth, team, etc. Then thank them for watching and say you look forward to discussing further.
Top Video Tips
Keep it short...
...then cut it even shorter. Usually under 90 seconds for a serious video; under 30 for a fun one.
Keep it moving
Make sure each shot has a point...and get to it fast! No fluff or filler.
Tell a story
Stories need structure. Make sure you've got a beginning, middle and end.
Know the audience
Family will watch a 2:00 video. Everyone else gets bored after 45 seconds.
Focus on people
Go easy on transitions, filters, etc. The best content is people relating.
Time passages
Use transitions like Dissolve or Dip-to-Black to indicate passage of time
