Possibly the best piece of advice to give someone thinking
of producing their own training video is to put yourself
into the mindset of your audience. No matter what it is that
you want to tell them, if you don’t do it in a way
that fits their world view, then straightaway you lose vital
credibility.
On the other hand, if you can express yourself in your programme
in a way that the audience can directly relate to and enjoy,
then there’s every chance they’ll open their
minds to let your training message in.
This ability to get inside the audience mindset is often
the prime reason for producing a custom made programme.
The certainty that you can command the audience’s
attention is worth the additional spend required to produce
a custom training video.
An example of getting inside the audience’s mindset
is for example when training in interpersonal skills, you
can use drama and actors to depict scenes from real life.

Another time-proven way to influence and motivate staff
is with VoxPops or soundbites. VoxPops and soundbites are
different words for the same thing, ie, short clips of people
looking off-camera, talking to an unseen interviewer.
VoxPops let you use your own workforce
to help solve the problems of your own workforce.
VoxPops take time to do well as it involves a lot
of careful thoughtful editing to produce a coherent flow
of information from what were originally a motley collection
of only loosely-connected clips.
But it's worth it as the results can work deeply on your
workforce. You can find out more here
