- 9. aim for 6 minutes or less • Research at the University of Rochester, 2013 established that the optimal length for online videos is 6 minutes or less – Average engagement time of any video maxes out at 6 minutes, regardless of its length. – To maximize student engagement, chunk content into small, bite‐sized pieces. http://www.itap.purdue.edu/

- 11. Video is not difficult anymore When Richard Dunn found himself alone overnight in Vegas, he made a video with Celine Dion’s 1996 “All By Myself.” Dunn really did produce the five-minute video all by himself, creatively using moving walkways, escalators and strategically placed luggage tape. As Dunn explained on his Vimeo page, “I got a person behind a ticket counter to give me a roll of luggage tape before she left. I then found a wheelchair with a tall pole on the back and I taped my iPhone to that. I put it on the moving walkway for a dolly shot. I also taped my iPhone to the extended handle on my computer bag. I would tuck different things under the bag to get the right angle. For the escalator shot I had to sprint up the steps after I got my shot so the computer bag didn't hit the top and fall back down…” http://vimeo.com/97634383

- 27. scripting • A script will help you plan out what to say and what to capture while recording. – It also provides text for captioning later! • At the very least, create an outline of talking points and what to capture for each segment.
- 28. storyboarding • Creating a storyboard – whether simple or elaborate – helps you plan your video shot by shot. • You can make changes before you start, instead of changing your mind later. • You can plan to cover specific points and get specific shots as part of the planning process- instead of kicking yourself for forgetting key points later.
