2019 - 08 - 18 - More Instructional Video Tips

As we move through our quick series on instructional video I wanted to share two additional tips. The first has to do with screen resolution for screen capture. I highly recommend having your screen resolution turned down which makes all of the on-screen elements larger. This can go a long way in making the video more legible, especially if your learning is consuming the video on a mobile device. which may not be the case today it may be the case in the future and making this change can help you not need to record again if the plans for the video change. The second tip is to count the seconds between shot changes the next time you're watching TV or a movie. You might just be surprised how many cuts there are in what you're watching that you haven't noticed before. Depending on what the content is you might see a cut every ten seconds or less.
