Video-based learning (continued)

In my last post, I was mentioning about some "watch-outs" that you need to be aware of while deciding to present content in a video-based learning course. My list of such watch-outs are:
1. If you decide to stick to a character representation in your videos, you need to keep in mind that you may want to modify parts of the module later in time, and you will have to find the same actor for playing the character.
2. You need to hire a professional videographer for the purpose who would know the lighting techniques to ensure you do not have too bright or dull output.
3. Streaming!!! If you have a low bandwidth network, your learners will come screaming about the unusual delay in loading time.
4. Size of the video in your course interface should ideally be the same as the actual size. If you scale down the size, there could be loss of clarity.
5. Beware of writing on whiteboard if you have someone explaining a concept. This sometimes become very hard to see due to bright light reflecting on the board.
6. Decide on supplementary information that need to be shown on the screen and how and when they would appear on the screen. A good interface should be planned accordingly.
7. Usually when you complete a video shoot, you will have the complete video sequence that need to be chunked into frame-wise snippets. Its a good idea to create a worksheet with scenes and corresponding timeline to be cut from the video, mapped to each other before you start your work.

I'm still in the process of collecting information. Will share if I get more.
