What is Educational Video Production?

Educational video production is the art of creating videos specifically designed to teach or inform viewers on a particular subject. These videos can be used in various educational settings, from traditional classrooms to online learning platforms.

At Malaika Media, we consider a number aspects before we embark on educational video production. These include;

  1. Planning & Development:
  • Target Audience: The first step is we identify your target audience. Understanding their age, learning style, and prior knowledge of the subject is crucial for tailoring the content and presentation style.
  • Learning Objectives: you tell us the specific learning objectives you want viewers to achieve after watching the video. What key information or skills should they gain?
  • Content & Script: Develop engaging content that effectively conveys the learning objectives. This may involve scripting the narration, creating a storyboard (visual plan for shots), and selecting appropriate visuals.

2. Production:

  • Presentation Style: Educational videos can incorporate various presentation styles, such as live-action demonstrations, animation, motion graphics, or interviews with experts. The chosen style should cater to the subject matter and engage the target audience.
  • Clarity & Conciseness: Information should be presented clearly and concisely to avoid overwhelming viewers. Break down complex concepts into smaller, easier-to-understand segments.
  • Engagement & Interaction: Consider incorporating elements that enhance viewer engagement, such as quizzes, polls, or interactive activities. This can help viewers retain information more effectively.

3. Post-Production:

  • Editing & Pacing: Ensure the video flows smoothly with a logical progression of information. Maintain an appropriate pace to keep viewers engaged but not overwhelmed.
  • Visuals & Audio: High-quality visuals (images, animations) and clear audio are essential for enhancing understanding and maintaining viewer interest.
  • Accessibility: Consider including captions, transcripts, or audio descriptions to make the video accessible to viewers with disabilities.
