So, for a start-up, the video promotion direction must be an introduction or product line. It helps you finalize your video direction, shoot the video in that particular path, and then move to the next step.

Step 3: Set the Video Tone

Video tone is what you want for your audience. Is it a comedy video? Is it a general video? Is it a dance video? You have to set the right tone that goes with your start-up. Selecting the right style gives life to the video.

The video style matters the most to make it look attractive to the audience to get a clear message of your start-up promotion. You can conduct research that what format audience live to watch the most, a survey or a poll kind of thing. It helps you clear your doubt.

Step 6: Finalize the Idea

Now it is time to frame the idea of the video. Set the character, shoot the video, decide what props you will use to communicate the content. Make sure you prepare a rough script to plan the overall idea excellently.

If you are showing any product, then frame the script idea or video angle about the product. You should discuss and decide the shot angle with the videographer. If you are shooting without any help, then research the shots and then outline the best idea.

Step 7: Script Writing

With the final idea, it is time for you to write the script. Depending on the length of the video, you must write down the script. Choose the dialogues or lines that are simple and easy to understand. Through your words, the audience must relate with you.

Later you can use any image or video while editing. Keep the background simple and soothing. Please do not make it too flashy that the audience focus shift from the actual characters to the background.

Step 9: Shoot the Video

Now, it is time to shoot the video. If you are doing an explainer video, adjust the script’s text with the video to look flawless. If you are shooting with an actual human, there will be many takes before getting the final shot.

Step 10: Editing and Uploading the Video

Though you do not need any degree for editing, a little practice will make you a pro. So, after the editing, recheck the final video. Add music, transition, and effects as per your choice. Once the editing is complete, you must upload the video to various social media and start promotion.
