You’ve done the hard work and your product is almost finished. But there’s a problem… it’s difficult to understand. Whether it’s in conversation, copy on the website, or in your presentations, few people seem to easily grasp the big idea behind your product and why it matters.
Before going any further, you need to solve this problem. That means you may be considering making a explainer video for the first time and it may seem a bit daunting. But as we’ll see below, you can do it in a few steps.
How an Idea Becomes a Script
I’m guessing you’ve seen the TV series with animation. Have you ever wondered where the magic happens? What is the secret to making animation series so entertaining? It’s the script. Before the cameras roll or the computers start, serious work goes into thinking through the story and writing down what the characters will say. Your explainer video is no different.
Of course, you can’t just dive into the script for an explainer video. First you must consider a few major points:
Who is the audience and what do they need to understand?
What two or three key points can I communicate that will serve that need?
What do I want my audience to do once they understand?
Having thought through these points, it’s time to start writing. Start by getting ideas on the page. In your mind’s eye, picture a person you know who is similar to your target audience. What kind of language would they understand, and what would resonate with them? Put yourself in their shoes.
When you do, consider these points as a framework for your script:
Build context. Before diving into the details, set the scene for the world where your ideas live. Talk about the forest before the trees and you’ll build a solid foundation. In other words, show the audience why the idea matters first.
Tell stories. Many of our explainer videos use a very simple formula: Meet Bob, he’s like you. Bob has a problem, he feels bad. Look! Bob found a solution and now he feels great. Don’t you want to feel like Bob? Your job is to help the audience see themselves in Bob.
Make connections. Look for opportunities to build on the audience’s existing knowledge. Use an example they already understand to introduce a new idea. For instance, here’s a very simple example for someone who’s never seen a boat: It’s like a car, but on water. Analogy can be powerful.
Describe the steps and why they matter. If you’re explaining how to do something, keep it high-level, and limited to a few memorable steps. Explainer videos should focus less on documentation or discussing detailed processes, and more on motivating the audience to see the big ideas and why they make sense. Your goal is to inspire them so that they’ll want to learn the details later.
Call to action. Your video probably has a goal in mind. Now that your audience understands the main idea, what’s next? Can they learn more at a website? Can they download an app? Can they share the video? An explainer video is often a means to an end; be sure to show your audience the next step and encourage them to take it.
