-As with any creative project, a detailed and organized plan can help ensure that everything runs smoothly throughout the rest of the production process. While there does not necessarily need to be a verbatim script written out beforehand, it is highly recommended that there is at least a detailed outline of the format and content of the planned video. This will be useful for the filming and editing of the video and help to ensure that everyone working on it is on the same track. +A detailed and organized plan can help ensure that everything runs smoothly throughout the rest of the production process.

 When writing and planning for a video of this nature, it can be very useful to break it down into several smaller segments. The videos should have a clear introduction, middle, and conclusion, with space to add breaks and title cards between each. Ideally, the script will have a number of natural breaks in it which will allow for the performer to pause and rest, rather than trying to perfectly read out a twenty-minute script in a single take.  When writing and planning for a video of this nature, it can be very useful to break it down into several smaller segments.

 In general, shorter videos tend to be more successful at holding a viewer’s attention. Videos that are two to four minutes long have the highest levels of engagement, whereas anything longer than twenty minutes tends to lose a number of viewers. As we are often making videos for a more targeted audience they will be more likely to engage in a longer video, but it is still best to keep it as short as possible while still conveying the necessary information. In general, shorter videos tend to be more successful at holding a viewer’s attention.
