Promo Videos

The promo articles and video that we had to watch and read were very helpful in trying to figure out what a good promo video is and what needs to go into making a good promo.  The video was a little dry, but it got its message across.  The quote that I really enjoyed from this video was “Talent is an illusion created by people with no discipline.”  I really like this quote because people will make excuses for why nothing gets done in their life, when in reality they have the talent, but have no motivation to use it for anything.  What really kept me in the video was the video itself.  It matched what the narrator was saying and it was a different variety of video that made it fun while it was being serious.  This video really helped think about ways to create a good promo video, and to keep the audience interested in what you’re telling them.

            I enjoyed the article a little more, because the author told us a lot about what exactly goes into a good promo video.  The author starts it off by saying that “Quality=Attention Span.”  Nowadays on the Internet people become so uninterested so quickly unless a person is famous.  If you’re not famous, it’s tougher to keep the attention span of the audience.  The author also said to make the promo more than a sales pitch.  Tell a story with it.  The three things that were said to have a good promo is really good quality, telling a story, and adding humor into it as well.
