3 Design Factors All Videos Must Have

The 3-Design Element Checklist

Is Your Video Really Ready?

Anyone can create a video, but the real challenge lies in making the video count. To us, a well composed video not only looks great, but serves a purpose. Here are 3 internal design factors that all videos should have.

 

在上一篇 “苹果还是香蕉” 报告中,我们提到要学会创造环境,从而与顾客沟通。

可我们对创造一个良好环境的内容,以及怎样创造良好环境的方法,报告地含糊不清,实属不该!

我们今天就来直接明了、简单粗暴,不……简单地列出营造环境的 3 个方法:

 

communicate-purpose-recquixit

1. 独家视频

怎样做到与每个对你产生过兴趣的潜在顾客沟通?怎样把自己介绍给根本不了解自身行业或专业特性的潜在顾客?

这些顾客可能来自世界各地,有不同的文化背景,兴趣爱好,宗教信仰甚至价值观等等。

如何与他们有效沟通呢?这时候拍摄一支专属于你的视频就显得尤为必要,画面代替语言,更直观、全面地把你带到每一个顾客面前,与大家沟通交流,与大家分享你的优势和成果。

 

User-Contextually Relevant Video

Your video’s viewer will come from different parts of the world. Different countries, cultures, backgrounds, hobbies, religious beliefs, value system and so on.

Your job is to ensure that the content of your video aligns with all these areas.

Do not assume your viewer to know what your brand is about, or expect them to care.

Give them one, or more than one good reason to care.

Design your video, so they know it’s about them – or making their life better.

All this can be accomplished by first conducting a holistic research about your audience profile.Only then, can you create a video or offer that resonates with your viewer.

Hit them at the core, and you’ll have a happy buyer.

 

2. 直观画面

视频画面是创造良好购买环境最直观的一步,好的画面是争取观众的最佳途径。但要谨记,好的画面务必建立在真实的基础上,吸人眼球却不浮夸,能够为观众树立积极的理念和愉悦的心情体验。

有了正面的产品理念,良好的用户体验

Your video’s line of visuals should not only supports your brand’s promised, it must be filmed and packaged nicely. Yes, you want to make a killer first impression, all the way to the last frame.

There’s a difference between video quality produced with your iPhone, and one filmed with a Canon 5DMark III.

Professionals are hired for a good reason, since they know how to harness and choose from the right lens, angles, and art direction to optimize your video for the best communication results.

Furthermore, your beautifully filmed images must be realistic. If you’re a selling basketball sneakers, don’t have your actors sinking multiple three-pointers as soon as they’ve worn the shoes. That’s just silly.

Instead, film them having a ‘better overall’ game. More realistic.

The entire visual sequence and color theme should always lead to a great user experience. All actors, scene settings, and music selection should work in harmony.

 

3. 角色转换

Your video never be about you, but your buyer.

Don’t produce something to entertain yourself or ego, consider what your potential buyer will want to see to make the decision that falls in your favor.

Your video should communicate on laymen terms. Leave the jargon, superfluous details, and any form of complexity aside. Keep things simple.

If you’re selling liquid soap, avoid spilling details of the advanced chemicals used – just share the results you’re delivering: Fast, guaranteed cleansing.

Don’t think about what the audience needs, ask them what they need. Go to them first, to find your answers.

All in all, your audience should always be associating your video with the values and emotions they’re buying into.

 

Once you’ve ticked off all the boxes from the three points discussed above, you’ll be ready to shoot.

不要只考虑你能带给观众什么,要考虑观众希望你带给他们什么。将角色进行转换,你不再站在专业高度与你的消费者说话,你不再只是将你已知的信息告知观众。

这一刻你是观众,你是消费者,你最想了解的内容,最想尝试的体验,最想听到的描述是什么?

已经有答案了吗?那才是你真正需要拍摄的内容。

Video Content Creation Tip: Sell with Eccentricity

The Eccentricity Effect

It works. 

So, incorporate it to your videos.

The more bizarre/ridiculous/crazy/hilarious your video, the more likely it’ll stand out.

When something stands out, it then stands a greater chance of being re-shared.

Hopefully, going viral is an objective of your business.

One of our content creation rule is to avoid boredom like the flu.

People automatically forget – or worse, reject – the predictable or ordinary.

The visual direction and story of your brand’s video should shake senses.

 

 

Infusing elements of eccentricity not only increases attention spans, but converts.

The Taiwanese pop legendary A-Mei is doing it. Why? because it works. Check out here latest music video with Lady Gaga inspired motifs.

Think about it: Lady Gaga’s eccentricity helped catapult her to becoming the 7th most influential women,  according to Forbes.

 

stand-out-with-video-recquixit-video-production-tip

 

The Easy Formula

Produce a bizarre or bordering taboo video – but know where to draw the line in the sand.

Make them feel what you want them to. Is it trust? excitement? curiosity?

Either way, you’ll score deep engagement.

Whether your video was designed to shock, enlighten, entertain, or empower your viewer, make them feel something.

Get that video cooking with the right dose of eccentricity -and it may just spread like wildfire.

 

 

 

暌违六年,张惠妹带着 <Amit 2> 重新发声,诡异的海报和预告 MV 已经着实吸引眼球,大吊观众胃口。

即使不是歌迷,仍然被这人体蜘蛛造型,鲨鱼演的妆容勾起了好奇心,多少观众抱着好奇的心思点开了阿妹的音乐,在不同于以往的曲风和唱法中,欣喜感倍增。

放眼看看最近的歌手 MV,几乎都在以新的视角,新的故事为主攻方向。歌迷们越来越不满足于只看歌手们在 MV 中谈个恋爱、淋场雨、跑个步而已了。

大胆的画面,丰富的色彩,出其不意的故事情节,一支 MV 足以构成一部微电影,不论这些 MV 内容评价如何,收获的却是实实在在的点击率和经济利益。

就这一趋势而言,视频已经越来越成为主流的宣传渠道,代替传统的图片与文字,视频直接而吸睛,不可否认,观众的点击率会说话!

How to Solve High Bounce Rates With Video 视频,如何拯救网页的高跳出率?

An Underrated Video Advantage

Cure Your Page’s Bounce Rate! 对跳出率说“不”

There are millions of websites online – probably thousands competing in your line of field.

How do you stand out? What’s the near-guarantee method? You’ll find out soon.

But first, let’s address the issue at hand.

在整个互联网网络中,有数百万或大或小的网站,而单单在你自己的行业领域内,少说也有几千个竞争网站。

那么,如何从这些竞争者中脱颖而出?有什么万全之策可以应对?

在读完这篇文章后,你会得到这些关键问题的解答!但是眼下,先来解决手边的问题。

 

What’s a Bounce Rate? 什么是跳出率?

If your first-time visitor leaves after the first page on your website (without clicking to other internal pages), your bounce rate just went up.

This is not a good thing.

You want your visitors to continue browsing your page.

Well, guess what? One of the benefits to using video is that it can influence your visitor’s to stay around longer.  Engage, build curiosity, and they’ll fight to kill the itch if it appeals to their desires.

跳出率是指一个用户通过搜索关键词来到你的网站,只简单浏览了一个页面就离开与全部浏览数量的百分比。 简单来说,就是你网页的逃离率,当一个新用户到了你的网站,马上又离开了,这时候你的网站跳出率绝对升高了。

跳出率高,并不是一件好事。

作为一个网站的拥有者,你一定希望用户体验良好,用户的继续点击浏览,就是意味着“感兴趣”、“有价值”。

而导致跳出率高的原因也有多因素。

Why Bounce Rate is High 跳出率高的致命原因

Below are some common reasons that contribute to the increase of a website’s bounce rate.

Poor Navigation

If your website’s a maze, your viewer will grow frustrated and probably take the exit. They’re not here to play, they’re here to get the information they want.

They’re not here to play or waste time – they’re here to get the information they want.

Slow Loading Page

This one’s self-explanatory. Most users are impatient and will give you 5-seconds before they click that upper right hand ‘X’ button if your page continues to stall at a blank loading page.

Low Quality/Non-Relevant Content

If your content is difficult to understand, you’ve lost them, and there are no second chances. That’s why you must treasure all your first-time visitors like gold.

If your message isn’t hitting their hearts, they’ll be gone, on to your competitor’s page.

Other forms of content irrelevancy include n-site advertisements — which all lead to a downgrade in user experience.

Whatever creates confusion, frustration, or a bitter experience – will increase your bounce rate.

 

以下是导致网站跳出率高的几个主要原因:

网站导航不明。如果网站的导航指向不明确,太多连接只会造成视觉混淆,让用户不知“从哪找起”,那么他们离开的几率也就大大升高了。

网页加载速度慢,这一点不言而喻许多来浏览网页的用户,其实并没有什么耐心,能够给一个网站5秒钟的加载时间已经是极限。

内容质量低。如果网站内容太过晦涩难懂,你已经失去了对用户的吸引力;如果你所传达的信息没有击中他们的需求点,你又将失去一批用户。其他的无关内容也会影响用户体验,比如弹出广告,这绝对大大减分。

会引起用户困惑、沮丧、负面不适的情绪体验的内容,都会增加网站的跳出率。

How to Fix Bounce Rates: Long Term

如何拯救跳出率:长期性的积累

One of the best ways to reduce your website’s bounce rate is to start providing good content. In fact, you want to give your visitor a very good reason to why they should stay with you.

You would want the same for yourself.

1. Clear Message. Let them know who you are, and how you can help. Why should your brand matter?

2. Clear Heads & Subheads. To let your audience know right away what to expect – no surprises.

3. Content Tailored to Visitors. They came to your site, so present the information that they’re after.

4. Stylish Copy. An easy-to-navigate website experience is key. Is everything clear, modern, up-to-date?

Put yourself in the shoes of your viewer and voice aloud how you feel when you visit your own site.

拯救网站跳出率的最佳途径之一就是:开始发布好的高质量内容。其实就是给用户一个好的理由,为什么他们要继续花时间浏览你的网页?

换位思考,你想继续浏览的是什么样的内容?

  1. 清晰明确的信息。让你用户清楚知道你是谁,你可以为他们做什么,不然为什么要塑造品牌?
  2. 设计结构排版合理,清楚的标题和副标题。让用户一目了然。
  3. 定制内容。他们为了什么来到你的网站?为他们定制想要看的内容吧。
  4. 吸睛的风格。一个赏心悦目的良好体验是很关键的,确保你的网站简洁、现代、跟上时代节奏了吗?

自己浏览网站的时候,会有什么感觉,那差不离就是你的用户体验。

The Secret Solution? – 隐藏的解决技能?

Use Video on Your Website 让视频解决尴尬的跳出率

Consider the Video Page Re-direct Method.

This is where you create an attention-grabbing landing page, where you then re-direct to your video page which will auto-run after, with more relevant/captivating content.

Or, if your website has a rotating slider at the top, embed a video there.

Those 2-minutes are doing your website a great favor for your search engine rankings.

The name of the game, is to keep your first-time viewer there on your site longer, and have them travel to a different page.

By doing so, you earn your stripes on the search engine rankings.

自动导向视频播放网页:有了一个吸睛的着陆页之后,你可以将用户自动导向你的视频播放页面;或者,直接在网页的滑动板块里插入你的视频链接。

别小看视频播放的这短短2分钟,它将大大帮助到你的网站排名!

而这个小小的技巧,就是在于可以让第一次浏览网页的用户,转换到新的一页,并且待的更久。

 

Summary 总结

Keep your viewer highly engaged, right from the jump. 

Make not just a great first impression, but a great ‘first time’ experience. One that remains consistent throughout their journey with your brand.

If you need help in getting started with a video for your brand, contact us for a quick consultation, no charge. We’d love to help.

Fight for those 3-seconds, otherwise they’re forever gone, and on to your competitor’s page.

从一开始就与你的用户保持紧密互动。

不只是良好的第一印象,而是一个超棒的“初体验”。

争取到最初的3秒钟,否则,你将与这些用户永远失之交臂。

Time Travel – Is It Really Possible?

Video + It’s Endless Potential

Time Travel: Yes, Maybe, No?

时间旅行

As you’re reading this, humans most likely won’t time travel anytime soon; although this is a topic of hot discussion.

If this mode of transportation fancies you, check out Stephen Hawking’s Space and Time Warp article.

If we can’t, who can?

Video.

With video, you can have your brand shuttle through time and space.

Once created, your video embodies the past, present, and future.

Your brand can exist in any moment in time, but it needs to acquire an infinite form.

A video’s life expectancy is virtually infinite – unless you choose to destroy the file completely.

What was once ‘hot’ today, will be classified ‘retro’ a lifetime later. But, the inherent message is still there regardless.

So, think about what video can do for your brand.

It only gets better once created. More time, more views, more potential customers.

Imagine the limitless possibilities of a hardworking video, who it’ll reach out to, and what opportunities await. This begins the second it goes live.

And, this is why we believe that videos are the most powerful marketing tool for your business.

Find out why should use video for your business today.

时光之旅, 可能吗?

时间旅行长久以来都是大家讨论的热门话题,近几年不断有关时间旅行的电影都是热门榜上的常客,就连斯蒂芬霍金也在英国《每日邮报》上发表文章讨论时光之旅的问题。

你也想来一场时光之旅吗?

想!觉得不可能?

不用那么复杂!一支视频就能让你穿梭时空,和过去对话,和未来畅聊。

录下你要说的,要做的,要记录的,给未来的自己写一封邮件,说一个故事,让一切美好的回忆得以保存,让时间得以停留。

拍下过去曾做过的,曾发生的,或者过去想做却没机会实现的,圆过去的自己一个梦,让过去的自己被记得。

有时候我们以为人生很长,可转眼,我们走出校园,踏入社会;

有时候我们以为人生很长,可转眼,我们还在回忆自己小时候的样子时,有一双小手拉住我们的衣角,叫着爸爸妈妈;

有时候我们以为人生很长,可转眼, 我们发现,还来不及留下些什么,时间已经过去。

来一场时间旅行吧,让一切成为可能。

How to Know What Your Client Really Wants 你真的了解消费者/客户吗?

Marketing Tip: Know Your Buyer

你的消费者/客户需要的是香蕉还是苹果,你真的懂他们吗?

Every business owner should know how their customers think, and what makes them tick.

每一个成功企业对于本企业的客户或消费者一定是非常了解的。 如果有人问你,你的消费者想要的是苹果还是香蕉,你能自信对答自如吗?

Why Should You know? 为什么你必须知道答案?

Every buyer is different; Different set of preferences, needs, value systems, cultures, financial backgrounds, and so on.

Before you can expect to win the heart’s of your customer from the hundreds of competitors you may be up against, get to really know them.

This comes down to the Apples or Banana question. If a customer prefers Bananas over Apples, there’s no point in force-feeding the apple into their hands.

 

ask-more-questions-recquixit-marketing-tips-1000

 

How Can You Confirm Your Client’s Needs?

It’s easier than you think yet most people fail to do it.

Ask.

Ask your customer/follower explicitly what they want.

Ask the right questions, at the right time, and provide some sweet incentives to receive their honest feedback.

If you don’t ask, it’s 100% guaranteed you won’t have the answer you’re looking for.

Most sellers and brands fall short when diving heads-on into the details.

Their common excuse: Compiling data is too boring, time-consuming.

Most are also too lazy to collect, or fear that questioning their customers (with e-mail surveys, feedback acquisition) may be too intrusive.

If your customers love what you’re doing, they won’t mind hearing from you. You should have no reason to be shy either.

 

Get Feedback, Lots of Them

Stop making assumptions. Contact your audience base directly and extract feedback.

Then, build your video around what they need.

Get on the same page with your customers. What speaks to them to what pushes their buttons.

一个不了解本品牌消费者的企业,就好像那个盲目送苹果的恋人一样。

送苹果的人被自己感动了,却不知道,别人真正的需求只是香蕉而已,不是你的消费者铁石心肠,而是他们喜欢香蕉。

对于需求不对盘的状况,沟通是解决问题的良方!

而在沟通之前,你要研究的,不是了解你自己可以做什么,而是了解你的消费者需要什么。

怎样沟通、通过交流,可以让你的消费者了解什么、得到什么也是决定这场谈话是否有效的关键。

get-inside-their-heads-recquixit-marketing-tips-video

But first, know your customer. 首先,了解你的消费者

How? 怎样做呢?

Talk to them. There’s no better way to confirm their interests through first hand interaction.

Find out their lifestyle, what they do when they’re busy, what they do in their downtime.

What’s their living environment like? What do they think/worry/dream about daily?

Get inside their heads.

学会创造环境!

直接与他们对话,没有比在对话交流中,可以得到更多真实有效信息的方法了。

探索消费者的生活圈,以及生活状态,他们忙得时候会做什么,空下来会做什么,诸如此类。

像黑客一般入侵他们的大脑,充分了接他们。

Contextual User Analysis

When it comes to understanding what your customer/client wants,  you should also consider the context.

Columbia University has conducted a survey for Red wine. They realized that the same bottle of red, can tasted differently according to mood or the physical environment in which the wine was drank from. In fact, some subjects even suggested flavor differences.

That’s why we must ask – to leave no room for guesses.

Humans are intricate begins. We carry different moods, philosophy, prejudices and beliefs. Don’t stereotype or pigeonhole your buyer.

Analyze the context, and realign your marketing methods accordingly.

 

创造怎样的环境呢?

哥伦比亚大学做过一个关于红酒的调查:同一瓶红酒,在品酒人不同的心情状态下,或是身处不同的环境中, 都会有不同的味道。

我们都不是处于隔离的空间中,我们对于事物的判断受环境的影响,也会因为每个人不同的心情,理念,偏见以及信仰而产生差异。

所以,创造一个良好的、适应消费者的购买环境,是你的首要目标。

其主要特征是:引起共鸣。

从顾客的角度去理解、去看待,不要只考虑你能带给他们什么,要考虑他们希望你带给他们什么。

从他们的角度出发,和他们站在一起, 你才能知道他们从你的信息里能读到什么,你才能真正明白你要做的是什么。
