Editor's Notes

  • #4: Some tips for making a really good short video! (by the time we get there, though, youll have plenty of tips)
  • #5: Why not video? (not everythings a nail just because your boss bought you a hammer) The Six Ps: Proper Prep Prevents (Patently)-Poor Performance Know Your Equipment (and what it can and cant do) Know Your Subject (and what he/she can and cant say) Know Your Location (and, if its awful, how to look for another) Lighting, ambient sound, interruptions and how to make them work for you, not against you Know Your Legal/Regulatory (Model releases, HIPAA/PHI releases, Social Media Policy) Know Your Audience
  • #6: Video is a universal language YouTube adds 50-plus hours of video every minute someones watching it! Short videos are excellent for focused, easy-to-explain content a vignette, an anecdote, a story or content that requires/benefits from audio-visual combination
  • #7: Telegenic isnt a worry as much as clear speech make sure your subject(s) can be understood easily in normal conversation If you have to work hard to simplify the content of a video, its probably not good content for a video Editing is tricky and expensive for a video. For a Word document? Easy and free Is the audience video-friendly? (hint: if your audience doesnt have high-speed web access, it probably isnt video-friendly)
  • #10: Before South Sacramento opens Kaiser Permanentes first trauma center, there's a lot of preparation. Some of it took place at the Garfield Center Innovation Center, when a medical team practiced responding to gun shot wound victims and other severe injuries. IKP took a quick video of the group in action.
  • #18: $200 videocameras dont have $200 lenses Avoid fluorescent lighting if you can Too dark or too light and youre in trouble Bright, direct sunlight will make topics look harsh Low light will make a grainy video A cheap tripod is steadier than the steadiest hand get one Watch for bad video clothing ie., orange shirts, loud shirt/dress patterns Dont laugh, but: Check twice - the batteries and memory before you go to your shoot
  • #19: You guessed it - $200 video cameras dont have $200 microphones built in Flips dont (yet) have external mic jacks Most built-in mics are pinholes Accidentally covering the mic with a fingeryikes So Get close to your subject Reduce any ambient noise that you can (human or inanimate) If you can use an external mic, use it! Tip: Bring a couple of bath towels to cover tables/hard surfaces to dampen reflected sounds
  • #20: Pre-interviews are essential Dont script word for word but do outline content closely Talk before about what not to say/do from uh to off-limits topics (proprietary, PHI/HIPAA, etc.) Make sure your subject is comfortable in your surroundings But it wont be spontaneous get over it If you prepare ahead of time, your subject will be comfortableand thus will look natural/spontaneousremember the 6Ps?
  • #21: Do a recon mission aka site survey look for (and reduce) lighting and ambient sound issues before the shoot Reduce distractions Make sure you (and your subject) know how to get to the shoot Leave plenty of time for the shoot you may need to do it more than once Sweat the small stuffdoes the chair squeak? Does the HVAC stack rattle?
  • #22: Employee : Need to sign an employee model release particularly if you ever think this could be shown externallyfor anyone identifiable in the video Member : Absolutely must have the member sign a HIPAA release regardless of whether patient data could be exposed no exceptions
  • #23: Employees must not represent KP views in social media channels, at work or not, without prior approval Aligns with Principles of Responsibility Covers all social media channels Is a living document and will be updated/revisited regularly http://tinyurl.com/kpsocialmediapolicy
  • #24: Use a tripod, avoid zooming, panning, excessive tilting Stay close! Frame tightly too close is almost always better than too far away Stay close! Help the microphone do its work Stay focused! Make sure your focus features your topic, and not the background Make sure theres nothing in the background thatll embarrass someone later Make sure you have ambient sound under controla couple bath towels or blankets can be your best friends
  • #26: When the subject is talking directly to camera in a news style delivery, its the practice (but not the rule) to frame them in the middle of the screen and not off center. There should be even space around the left and right sides of the subject. You should also leave a little head room on top so you dont cut off the subjects head if they move. This helps balance your shot.
