Keys to a successful video presentation

You've just joined your new company, and you've been asked to make a presentation video, but you don't know what to say? Then read this article carefully, which will provide you with the keys to a successful video.

It's not easy to appear at ease when you've just arrived, and it may even be your first time on video. But try to appear relaxed, and your video will be all the better for it.

Select the themes you want to cover

Beforehand, it's important to determine what you want to say in your video presentation. It's not a matter of choosing a format and then figuring out what you're going to say about yourself, but the other way around. Would you like to talk about one of your passions? The town you're from? Your favorite singers? What you did before joining the company? It's all possible - you just need toidentify what you want to bring out in your personality. Quickly establish a chronology of what you're going to say to save time when you go to film.

Next, choose a format that suits your personality and allows you tobe comfortable in front of the camera. Fast & Curious can be a good format for presentation videos, but you need to be at least comfortable in front of the camera to respond spontaneously and make the video dynamic. If you'd like some ideas of formats to use for your presentation videos, it's right here.

Be sincere and be yourself

These tips may seem logical, but they're essential. Once you've decided on the topics you want to cover and the format you're going to use, it's time to start shooting. Only say things that really concern you, and always be comfortable with what you're saying or doing. Avoid humor if it makes you uncomfortable, don't put yourself on stage if acting isn't your thing... In short, stay true to yourself and your video will reflect your personality.

The key to a successful video presentation is to make it look like you. Your video must be unique. Don't try to reproduce a video of colleagues you like, but let your creativity speak for itself. Think about what you want your colleagues to see about you.

Respect the fundamentals of video

Finally, for your presentation video to be successful, it must respect the same criteria as any other video. Make it dynamic by changing shot scales, inserting illustrative shots and so on.

Make sure your video is neither too long nor too short. You don't want your viewers to lose interest, but you still want them to learn a little about you!
