Welcome to tip number five plotted out,
- 00:02 - 00:06
which is the fifth tip on our countdown of seven tips for creating engaging,
- 00:06 - 00:08
effective instructional videos.
- 00:08 - 00:10
I'm paul Chesky presses,
- 00:10 - 00:13
teacher and residents and today we're going to talk about how to be creative,
- 00:13 - 00:18
how to get started with our presence is and how to how to simply begin
- 00:18 - 00:22
and then plot out our content before we actually get into the design tools.
- 00:22 - 00:25
So I'm going to give you some organizational structures to work with.
- 00:25 - 00:27
Alright, let's get started.
- 00:27 - 00:28
So when I first started,
- 00:28 - 00:32
I think about what is my topic and what does that need to look like on the screen?
- 00:32 - 00:34
So what I have is, um,
- 00:34 - 00:38
I usually pick some colors and then font as
- 00:38 - 00:41
well as the shapes and you might ask well why
- 00:41 - 00:45
those things, well they're at the top level of your design suite,
- 00:45 - 00:50
inside of President feature set, so you'll pick the colors and whatnot.
- 00:50 - 00:54
So if I'm doing something on the 17th century I may not use all this purple,
- 00:54 - 00:58
I might have swoopy font, I might have some brown in there.
- 00:58 - 01:02
Um, things that connote that time of, of, of,
- 01:02 - 01:08
of place as well as the content that I have, whether it be a journey or art or whatever,
- 01:08 - 01:09
the human body,
- 01:09 - 01:11
it would all look slightly different and we
- 01:11 - 01:14
all have different choices at a foundational level,
- 01:14 - 01:16
like your font, your color and your shapes.
- 01:16 - 01:19
Okay, here are some pieces that I've done over the years.
- 01:19 - 01:20
I'm going to go through these really quickly.
- 01:20 - 01:25
This first one came out of main uh, main is on the water.
- 01:25 - 01:27
There's nautical themes, their mascots and everything.
- 01:27 - 01:32
So I chose really bold colors as well as fonts and nautical shapes in there as well.
- 01:32 - 01:37
Um, then I did one on the brain and this one is great because the brain is right there.
- 01:37 - 01:41
You see it, but also different images around the brain.
- 01:41 - 01:44
Uh, connote the questions that we have about brain,
- 01:44 - 01:46
their soccer balls to the head too hard.
- 01:46 - 01:51
Do video games destroy the brain the brain to social media, all of those things.
- 01:51 - 01:55
Um, and then also it was connected throughout the whole piece
- 01:55 - 01:58
to bring some continuity to it. It's a lovely deck.
- 01:58 - 02:00
Um, next we have here something.
- 02:00 - 02:04
Jamie ewing ewing used um, it's on the great barrier reef.
- 02:04 - 02:08
We use some great images here of coral and fish.
- 02:08 - 02:12
Those are all independent assets that come together with words and text
- 02:12 - 02:16
to make a lovely piece that looks like Jamie would be underwater
- 02:16 - 02:19
in this piece. I worked with Helene Marshall, a professor on the east coast and,
- 02:20 - 02:22
and she had a deck, a PowerPoint deck.
- 02:22 - 02:25
And I noticed that she had this sprout, You'll see it in the corner there.
- 02:25 - 02:29
And I asked, well Elaine how and why did you use that?
- 02:29 - 02:29
And she goes, well,
- 02:29 - 02:31
I wanted to get at this idea of creating
- 02:31 - 02:34
a fertile space for your students to grow online.
- 02:34 - 02:38
And so I ran with it. I just used the green and I used the yellow.
- 02:38 - 02:43
I used that sprout in the various clip arts and I even used sort
- 02:43 - 02:47
of a gray to act as a contrast to the yellow and the green,
- 02:47 - 02:49
but I also thought it looked sort of, you know,
- 02:49 - 02:52
like dirt and mud and where things grow.
- 02:52 - 02:56
And so I used that sort of color combination along with the fonts in order to do that.
- 02:57 - 02:58
Um here's another great one.
- 02:58 - 03:00
This is Brianna Hodges,
- 03:00 - 03:03
she's an educational consultant that does a lot of keynotes.
- 03:03 - 03:05
Um She also has a background in marketing and what
- 03:05 - 03:08
you'll notice here is that look at her name,
- 03:08 - 03:12
she uses a script and then she uses a nice modern fought for her last name.
- 03:12 - 03:14
I love that. She also has very bright colors.
- 03:14 - 03:16
Um they sort of remind me a little bit of
- 03:16 - 03:19
the beach and that's exactly what she was going for.
- 03:19 - 03:23
Um and then when you get into it, she starts using these brush strokes.
- 03:23 - 03:25
And I asked her what, what is that all about?
- 03:25 - 03:26
And she goes, well,
- 03:26 - 03:29
it has to do with the central idea that I get out and a lot of my keynotes,
- 03:29 - 03:32
which is this idea of unfinished leaders or
- 03:32 - 03:35
having to be creative or starting off fresh.
- 03:35 - 03:37
So there's the swatches there, right?
- 03:37 - 03:39
The, the paintbrush,
- 03:39 - 03:44
um as well as the splatters and she uses that throughout to get at that theme.
- 03:45 - 03:45
Okay.
- 03:45 - 03:49
Um these are some questions that I asked folks when they first start
- 03:49 - 03:53
working with me around different design elements and what they want to do.
- 03:53 - 03:55
Um and they can be very handy,
- 03:55 - 03:59
like how do you reinforce the elements of tone and tone that you have through
- 03:59 - 04:04
your color as as well as your graphic design and the images that you're using.
- 04:05 - 04:07
What is the metaphor? What colors do you want to use?
- 04:07 - 04:09
All of that is super helpful when you start.
- 04:10 - 04:10
Okay,
- 04:10 - 04:11
now I'm going to get into some of the
- 04:11 - 04:14
organizational stuff and you might remember that in press.
- 04:14 - 04:16
E there's two ways to create the videos.
- 04:16 - 04:19
One is in the quick record area in the present video,
- 04:19 - 04:21
the others in present present.
- 04:21 - 04:23
I'm gonna go through both real quickly here.
- 04:23 - 04:28
This first one is on quick record and in that you have 15 slides in 15 minutes.
- 04:28 - 04:32
It's a bit like a slowdown peta kuka depending on how fast you go right.
- 04:32 - 04:34
Um so anyway,
- 04:34 - 04:40
you have 14 templates to work with and these can't really be customized that much.
- 04:40 - 04:42
Um you can add content to the top,
- 04:42 - 04:45
but basically the colors in the front will remain the same.
- 04:45 - 04:49
Um You just add the images and the text on top of it and one slide goes up and
- 04:49 - 04:51
then the next slide comes up and the next
- 04:51 - 04:54
slide comes up so it's a very simple structure.
- 04:55 - 04:59
Um but you can do some customization if you have the right version of present,
- 04:59 - 05:03
you can add your own colors and fonts to that quick record set.
- 05:03 - 05:08
Um When I do the structure, however you'll notice that there's not a lot there,
- 05:08 - 05:11
it's slide in the text and the image.
- 05:11 - 05:17
What are those uh what are, what is it that I want to add on the screen? I plotted out.
- 05:17 - 05:19
I put it on there I guess with text I kind of
- 05:20 - 05:24
Try to go under 12 words because there's not a lot of room
- 05:24 - 05:28
for text on the screen when you're working in a quick record.
- 05:28 - 05:33
So just remember that. Don't get verbose. Just keep it really simple.
- 05:33 - 05:37
Alright, next up we have present present now with present present.
- 05:37 - 05:39
You'll notice that and this is what I'm using now.
- 05:39 - 05:45
You have a lot of flexibility in so far as uh you're creative set
- 05:45 - 05:48
that you get to work a lot of customization you can do here.
- 05:48 - 05:52
Um and it's structured differently than it is in presi
- 05:52 - 05:54
video in the quick record
- 05:54 - 05:57
and present present. You have topics and sub topics.
- 05:57 - 05:59
Um Those are the planets right there.
- 05:59 - 06:02
See those those round things are called planets.
- 06:02 - 06:07
Um That's figurative, not literal and they're round, they could be square,
- 06:07 - 06:09
you make the choice there.
- 06:09 - 06:13
Um and they sort of gives people cognitive anchors about where you're going in
- 06:13 - 06:16
your presentation and this one I have the style thing we already talked about
- 06:17 - 06:19
color and so forth. That's where all that style stuff was.
- 06:19 - 06:21
I talked about some of the templates.
- 06:21 - 06:23
I talked about some of the choices you get to
- 06:23 - 06:26
make and now we're down here in the present,
- 06:26 - 06:27
present down there at the bottom.
- 06:28 - 06:33
Um It's structured then that if you had stuff to say inside of that topic,
- 06:33 - 06:35
you'd have another set and those would because sub
- 06:35 - 06:38
topics and again they'd show up as circles.
- 06:38 - 06:41
If you're using a square, they'd show up as squares.
- 06:41 - 06:47
Um but those are, that's the planet format. You could also do it to choose
- 06:47 - 06:51
a topic and then a page and a page goes full screen.
- 06:51 - 06:55
I wouldn't be here. You would see just the screen and the visual that I have.
- 06:55 - 06:56
There are the text
- 06:57 - 06:59
that's intended to accentuate or if you want to
- 06:59 - 07:02
give yourself a break from being on the screen,
- 07:02 - 07:04
that's what you would use.
- 07:04 - 07:09
Um All of these are really handy. Um but think of the topic and subtopic,
- 07:10 - 07:13
That's the structure or topic and page.
- 07:13 - 07:17
You can mix it up, you can do topic, subtopic and page if you like.
- 07:17 - 07:22
It really depends on what you want to do. Um to organize this work.
- 07:22 - 07:26
Um or I should mention this to, there's a ton of templates out there.
- 07:26 - 07:28
I think there's like 25 different templates and
- 07:28 - 07:31
those can these templates can all be customized,
- 07:31 - 07:34
you can swap out the color, you can swap out the font,
- 07:34 - 07:36
images, whatever you want to do.
- 07:36 - 07:37
It's it's limitless. Really?
- 07:38 - 07:41
Okay, so when I'm planning out my
- 07:42 - 07:43
present presents,
- 07:43 - 07:46
that will be turned into videos like I did here. I'll
- 07:46 - 07:48
do what do I want in the overview?
- 07:48 - 07:50
What are the words and what are the images that I want there?
- 07:50 - 07:52
I'll put that in my in my sheets.
- 07:52 - 07:58
I do my topics. What is the title? What is the the body text and what images do I want?
- 07:58 - 08:02
And do I want them animated in any way? Do I want them to fade in or fade out?
- 08:02 - 08:07
Do I want them to zoom in or zoom out? It really depends on what you want to do.
- 08:07 - 08:09
But indicating those things ahead of time can be
- 08:09 - 08:12
super helpful to the work that you're doing.
- 08:12 - 08:18
Alright. I'll just show you that really up close for a second, positive, you like?
- 08:18 - 08:23
Um these links to these templates will be down below in the description,
- 08:23 - 08:25
so feel free to use them
- 08:26 - 08:27
anyway,
- 08:27 - 08:31
I just want to thank you so much for your time and um this gives
- 08:31 - 08:35
you a nice start for thinking about your designs and how to get going with them
- 08:35 - 08:37
and how to plot out your content
- 08:37 - 08:43
for now. I'm sure you've got it and have fun creating everyone. Bye bye.
