About

Aim

To produce a video instructing viewers how to go about doing something to benefit the environment. In most cases, this will involve some kind of step by step process. It is easy to feel like environmental problems are so big that we as individuals have little or no impact. Our aim here is to help people see that they can make a difference in ways that are easy to understand and not too difficult to carry out.

Method

  1. Choose a partner and a topic
  2. Gather information and material you will need for your video
  3. Write a manuscript
  4. Record the video. In school or outside

Video should contain:

  • Introduction: tell who you are
  • Problem presentation: What are many people doing wrong?
  • Solution to problem: How can we do it better?
  • Technical explanation.
  • Clear statement of what we gain, for the planet and financially as well
  • Mention of our Youtube channel

Typical HowTo videos

  • Examples
  • Language

If you listen carefully to the kind of language "How To" videos use, four things stand out:

  1. They speak to "you", the viewer, as an individual and not to people in general.
  2. They use a lot of commands. These are simple and direct: "Turn off your light", "Check your battery".
  3. Some videos use sequence signals such as "first", "next" and "after that" to help the viewer follow along.
  4. Some videos use conditionals, "if" constructions. "If you turn off your light, you will save energy and money."

Manuscript

  • Story boards

You don't have to be a great artist, but in addition to dialog, your manuscript must show what you plan to put on screen and what you want to have on your sound track. You can do this by drawing pictures or by explaining in text.
