![Page 5: Effective Online Video Production and Distribution](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548c08d1b47959db0a8b46aa/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Producing Video for the Web
• Promotional videos
• Video news releases
• Event recordings
• Podcasts
• Multi-purposing content
![Page 6: Effective Online Video Production and Distribution](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548c08d1b47959db0a8b46aa/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Promotional Videos• 3-10 minutes in length• Creative brief and script
– Target audience: prospective students• Lively, energetic, young• Music drops• Fast edits, handheld camera

Video News Releases
• 90 second spot• Scripted with voice-over talent• Inverted pyramid structure
– E.g., following press release
• Lots of b-roll– Visual grammar
• Distribution on local news affiliates (e.g., ABC)• Example
– http://tiktaalik.uchicago.edu/video.html– http://www.sciencentral.com/
![Page 8: Effective Online Video Production and Distribution](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548c08d1b47959db0a8b46aa/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Event Recordings
• 1-2 hours in length• Low-level skills for shooting and editing
– Single camera, basic lighting, simple edit• Distribution: Web, DVD, public radio, public
access television, podcast (for series)• Examples: lecture series such as Poem Present
– http://poempresent.uchicago.edu
![Page 9: Effective Online Video Production and Distribution](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548c08d1b47959db0a8b46aa/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Podcasts / Vodcasts
• Ideal content for podcasting:– Regular, scheduled communications
• Once per week, per month• Set and meet your stakeholder expectations
– Focused communication– Examples: lecture series, class discussions, student
audio journals (e.g., peer-to-peer outreach for prospective students)
• Audio or Video• Low to mid level skills

Setting Up Your Podcast / Vodcast
• Do it yourself– Follow standard for RSS 2.0, Atom?– Hand code in XML?– iTunes has slightly different specifications
• http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/podcaststechspecs.html
• Use a service– Feedforall.com
![Page 12: Effective Online Video Production and Distribution](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548c08d1b47959db0a8b46aa/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
RSS 2.0: Media Enclosures• Media RSS is a module that enhances the enclosure
capabilities of RSS 2.0. • Media RSS makes it possible for enclosures to handle media
types such as video, audio, and images as well as provide additional metadata with the media.
EXAMPLE:<media:content url=http://www.movie.com/movie.movfileSize="12216320" type="video/quicktime" medium="video" isDefault="true" expression="full" bitrate="128" framerate="25" samplingrate="44.1" channels="2" duration="185" height="200" width="300" lang="en" />
![Page 13: Effective Online Video Production and Distribution](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548c08d1b47959db0a8b46aa/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Multi-purposing Media• Find opportunities to shoot for multiple audiences
– E.g. Research at Chicago videos primarily for alumni, news media, industry, and secondarily prospective students
– Shoot enough footage to edit for different purposes• Example: Tiktaalik video news release (for media) and fossil
preparator video (for students)• Tailor your edits and messages for stakeholder
• Interviews– Ask questions of subject for multiple purposes
• E.g., Nobel Prize winner talking about research (for industry) can also answer questions about teaching (for prospective students) in same sitting
![Page 14: Effective Online Video Production and Distribution](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548c08d1b47959db0a8b46aa/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Shooting Video for Multiple Uses
• Multi-purposing Media
• DV: Online vs. Broadcast
• Shooting Video for the Web
• Shooting for the (Very) Small Screen
• Lighting, Editing, Graphics, Compression
![Page 15: Effective Online Video Production and Distribution](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548c08d1b47959db0a8b46aa/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Multi-purposing mediaScale-down, not up.
Some delivery options are:•Web (streaming or download) •Broadcast (probably SD)•Projection (SD or HD)•DVD (home player or computer)•Video iPod or other handheld player
![Page 16: Effective Online Video Production and Distribution](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548c08d1b47959db0a8b46aa/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
DV: online vs. broadcast
The biggest difference is
COMPRESSION.
Traditionally, this meant, you should:• Shoot differently• Edit differently •Think differently
(That is, until bandwidth catches up with your ambition.)
![Page 17: Effective Online Video Production and Distribution](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548c08d1b47959db0a8b46aa/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Web = Broadcast?
Advanced codecs +
increased bandwidth =
Higher quality video=
You can shoot once for bothOnline and broadcast output(and everything in between).
![Page 18: Effective Online Video Production and Distribution](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548c08d1b47959db0a8b46aa/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Shooting video for the web
Online video• 16:9 is sexy• Over-saturate color!• What? Make it louder• Make whites whiter• Fun with titles• Use the entire screen
Broadcast• 4:3 is standard• Broadcast-safe chroma• DV = -12dB • Broadcast-safe levels• Title-safe• Action-safe
![Page 19: Effective Online Video Production and Distribution](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548c08d1b47959db0a8b46aa/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Quality is key
High quality video will compress cleanly and broadcast well so always start with the best possible source video.
So, should you shoot HD or SD?
![Page 20: Effective Online Video Production and Distribution](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548c08d1b47959db0a8b46aa/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The future of resolution…
…is high definition.
• Analog “switch-off” of broadcast signals in the U.S. will be February 17, 2009
• 61.3 - 68% of "active U.S. Internet users” connect at home using broadband(2006 Nielsen/NetRatings)
• The rise of IPTV: 1,300 free channels (as of 06/06) & 7 million subscribers (Infonetics)
• HD IPTV!

Shooting for the (very) small screen
![Page 26: Effective Online Video Production and Distribution](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548c08d1b47959db0a8b46aa/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Minimize visual complexityPay attention to color, pattern, light and arrangement of subjects for the cleanest possible compression.Avoid:• Glare• Tight patterns on clothing
(i.e. hounds tooth, plaid, stripes)• Bright white, pure black• Busy or moving background• Wearing same color as the background• Gratuitous camera movement
![Page 27: Effective Online Video Production and Distribution](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548c08d1b47959db0a8b46aa/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Frame composition• Frame the speaker
closely so that his/her head and shoulders are the focus, leaving headroom above.
• Eyes should be at roughly the upper third of the frame.
• Try to frame the speaker in the either the right or left third of the frame, facing the opposite direction so that he/she is looking across the frame slightly.
![Page 28: Effective Online Video Production and Distribution](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548c08d1b47959db0a8b46aa/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Lighting to make your subject look good
(and you!)
1. Light evenly. Harsh shadows do not compress well.
2. Use a 3 light set-up:
• Key – Primary light source
• Fill – Secondary light source used to fill shadows
• Hair/rim – Backlight used to separate subject from the background
![Page 31: Effective Online Video Production and Distribution](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548c08d1b47959db0a8b46aa/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Lighting set-up example:

![Page 32: Effective Online Video Production and Distribution](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548c08d1b47959db0a8b46aa/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Tips for video• Make sure you have “eye-lights.”• Better to under-expose than over-expose.• Have your speaker sit on the back of their jacket.• Place camera at eye-level or slightly below.• Ask speaker to hold gaze for a few seconds when finished
speaking. • Do not use a chair that moves. • Re-frame (during questions only)• Repeat a question, asking for a more condensed version.• Shut off computers, printers, and ventilation if possible. • Change the refresh rate on CRT monitors to avoid the
onscreen scroll.
![Page 33: Effective Online Video Production and Distribution](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548c08d1b47959db0a8b46aa/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
EditingHere are some simple suggestions if your primary
delivery is via web or other small-screen format:– Don’t use graphical wipes—they do not compress particularly
well at low data rates.– Edit out camera movement as much as possible (without
creating jump-cuts).– Avoid complicated animations and graphics.– Do not use a lot of text at small font sizes.
![Page 34: Effective Online Video Production and Distribution](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548c08d1b47959db0a8b46aa/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Overall lengthFactors to keep in mind:• Type of content
– Interview– Lecture– Promotional
• Viewer attention span– Lecture: 20 minutes average, 70% listened to entire lecture
(WGBH/Boston Forum Network, August 2005)
– Online ads: 21 seconds (Online Publishers Association study, February 2006)
– Other content: About 2-5 minutes
• Hard drive space– HD 1g per 1 minute of video– SD 1g per 3 minutes of video
![Page 35: Effective Online Video Production and Distribution](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548c08d1b47959db0a8b46aa/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Great graphics
General tips for title bars (lower third keys), informational graphics, titling
• Short, succinct phrases• Simple, colorful• Repeat information being stated• Do not offer new info while speaker is talking about
another topic• Watch title-safe guides!
![Page 36: Effective Online Video Production and Distribution](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548c08d1b47959db0a8b46aa/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Importing Graphics
Photoshop CS offers support for DV graphics. This important because:– Pixel shape/aspect ratio
DV = non-square, Computer = square
• This causes distortion when importing to FCP
![Page 37: Effective Online Video Production and Distribution](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548c08d1b47959db0a8b46aa/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
How to avoid distortion…
1. Open Photoshop CS
2. Open a new project and select a DV format
3. Open your image
4. Copy your image into the new DV project
5. Flatten it
6. Save
7. Import into FCP
![Page 38: Effective Online Video Production and Distribution](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548c08d1b47959db0a8b46aa/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Title bars
• No small caps• Anti-alias type• Apple Motion--great lower third keys• San-serif usually easier to read • Use whole numbers for font size• Rotate information instead of trying to
squeeze too much on one slide• Leave on screen for 10 seconds
![Page 39: Effective Online Video Production and Distribution](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548c08d1b47959db0a8b46aa/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
FAQ: include Q&A?
YES• Audience amplified• Speaker repeats Q• As substantial as the
lecture in length or content
• Discussion format• Important audience
members
NO• Can’t hear Q• Off topic• Not interesting• Need to limit overall
length• Delivery method =
broadcast

Which formats?
It depends on your mode of delivery.
• Streaming vs. progressive download vs. download
• Podcast
• iPod compatibility
• Embedded in website vs. player
• What about Flash?
![Page 42: Effective Online Video Production and Distribution](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548c08d1b47959db0a8b46aa/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
The skinny on codecs
• QuickTime– Progressive Download– iPod
• Mpeg-4
• Windows Media– No progressive download
• Real
• Flash

Compromise
How do you determine the ideal balance?
• Size• Bandwidth• Quality
Solutions• Alternative data rates
![Page 44: Effective Online Video Production and Distribution](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548c08d1b47959db0a8b46aa/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Making your video findable
• Searchable video is key to getting the most value out of your content.
• Search engines are indexing video content.– Metadata– Transcript
• Which standards, format, software?– QuickTime– Windows Media– Flash 8
![Page 45: Effective Online Video Production and Distribution](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548c08d1b47959db0a8b46aa/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Recording audio(The ear does not forgive!)
• Record audio that can stand alone– Are there slides?– Is it discussion-based or lecture format?– Are there demonstrations?
• Record broadcast-quality– More and more public broadcasting outlets are
looking for academic content to include in regular programming.
– Sound bites for news

Some options…
• Wireless vs. Wired
• House sound?
• Microphone types – Pick-up patterns:– Omnidirectional– Bi-directional– Unidirectional– Shotgun
![Page 50: Effective Online Video Production and Distribution](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548c08d1b47959db0a8b46aa/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
A few tips for wireless mics:
• Placement matters. Place on side or front of speaker, not back.
• Keep line of sight between transmitter and receiver. • Do not cross power cables. • Ask audience to completely shut-off phones and
pagers, not just silence them. • Use “choke” on all power and data cables attached
to camera.
![Page 51: Effective Online Video Production and Distribution](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548c08d1b47959db0a8b46aa/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
The outdoor audio challenge
