Promotional video conventions

Promotional Videos

Recently we watched a few different promotional videos. We analysed them to see what the typical conventions for a good promotional video are.

Some of the conventions are …

Interviews with either staff or customers (shows two sides of the story)

Establishing shots of place or building

Purpose (Purpose of the Promotional video)

Montages of different footage

Diegetic/ Non Diegetic sounds

Voice over / narration

Names and roles shown through use of on screen graphics.

Framing in interviews is critical to show the building /place behind or next to the person.

Gives you all the information you need in the video

Fitting music, etc If it is a “fun” video use light hearted and feel good music.

Make sure it is aimed towards different age groups

Make sure it meets the audiences needs
