We live in an age of smartphones, but only a few people know how to harness the potential of their camera effectively. Films and visuals give us a unique opportunity for sharing our ideas with a larger audience, creating awareness as well as action.
Let’s learn how to use the visual medium to create beautiful stories that leave an impact. Simple ways to make compelling videos with your phone so that you can bring the ideas in your head to life.
“Make your work stand out.“
The future of communication is visual. Knowing how to create impactful videos creates exponential success. Not knowing how to do it, keeps us struggling with low reach, poor engagement and insignificant impact from our created content.
How Is It Useful
Videos speak louder than words. Videos convey emotions and messages instantly and effectively. They turn abstract concepts into visual experiences, making complex information easier to digest. You can even create visual stories without the need for words – thereby making it accessible to the whole world.
Our attention spans are getting shorter. So, what can we do? Enter video content! Videos can capture and hold attention more effectively than text. They’re dynamic, engaging, and can convey a wealth of information in a brief period. A 2-minute how-to video is easier to understand than a manual.
Videos are incredibly shareable. A well-crafted video can spread like wildfire across social media, bringing massive visibility to your message, product, or cause. Plus the current algorithms of most social media platforms prioritise and push video content over text or image. ~Videos get 12x more reach than text and images combined. (link)
