6 Big Mistakes To Avoid When Filming A Corporate Video

A Bold Content Video Production www.BoldContentVideo.com


# Not Providing Value For The Audience

 Competition for the audiences attention is scarce

 Over 100 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube

every single minute!  In return for that attention you must provide

something of value – entertaining / inspirational


#2 Using Technical Or Industry Jargon  You must communicate using language your

audience will understand and resonate with  Do not use “industry insider” terms or technical

jargon  Use the same language as your target audience


#3 Poor Quality Of Lighting  Lighting is critical for connecting with the audience and

improving the appearance of the interview subject  Good lighting can balance out the asymmetrical features

of the subject  Lighting for a corporate video should improve and flatter

the subjects appearance while preserving a natural look


#4 Not Paying Attention To Sound  Poor sound quality will distract from the key

messages of the video  Perform a “recce” of the location to identify any

possible sound issues (telephones, staff, airconditioning)  Use a hypercardoid mic to capture sound while

reducing ambient noises


#5 Not Prepping The Subject

 The interview subject must be made to feel

comfortable and at ease  Give advice on what to wear i.e. no stripes

 The subject should use nouns when speaking and

include the question in the answer


#6 Not Making A Connection

 Create content which has real emotional content

 For businesses in “boring” industries this can be a

challenge  We recommend looking to Corporate Social

Responsibility (CSR) programs to find truly compelling stories
